Archadeck
Deck out the homes in your community. Archadeck’s mission is "to enhance the lives of our customers by creating unique and innovative outdoor living environments." That mission is accomplished by providing custom-designed and built decks as well as screened and open porches, sunrooms, gazebos, pergolas, arbors, fencing, planters, latticework, ramps, and docks. The products/services are backed by a comprehensive warranty. No construction or marketing experience is required to be a franchisee. Archadeck provides instruction on designing projects and running the business at the company’s training center. Field training and ongoing support are also provided. Franchisees usually hire subcontractors or employees to build the projects.
