About

The Archadeck team and franchisees have fine-tuned the business model so you can quickly deploy it in your market and dramatically reduce your risk compared to doing it on your own. Last year, our franchise owners reported average gross sales of $904,834 and average residential project sales of $21,021.

The Industry

The demand for outdoor living spaces continues to grow each year, making it one of the most popular remodeling categories for home improvements. In fact, according to the American Institute of Architects (AIA), the demand for outdoor living spaces is on the rise, as more than 60% of architects responding to an AIA survey said they had seen an increase in outdoor living space requests.

Of the 80 million homes in the U.S., 60 million still need decks! However, decks represent only about half of the annual sales volume that is designed and built under the Archadeck Outdoor Living name.
