The Deck Industry Advantage

• North American populations are growing and will need over 65 million homes in the next 30 years• The North American housing boom in the past 10 years has created a large market for custom decks• Renovation business is now larger than new construction• Baby Boomers are in their prime “deck buying” years and have affected every segment of the market, even decks!• Franchising has professionalized most industries, but the decking industry is made up of over 50,000 independent renovation companies, usually with only 1 or 2 people. • 6 Million decks are replaced each year, with the average North American wooden deck only lasting 8.7 years before requiring replacement• Low maintenance decking sales are growing fast but currently only represent a small percentage of the market. This provides an outstanding opportunity with our leading market position.

• Control your own quality of life with the ability to set your own schedule and business direction• Work in an industry that helps customers relax and enjoy more time with family and friends• A turn key operation with a protected territory• Control your own financial compensation• High earning potential• Semi-retired in the off season• Receive the fruits of your own labour• Opportunities to grow with Head Office as we expand internationally • Enter a growing industry with unlimited potential
