The Deck Industry Advantage
In North America the populations are growing and will need over 65 million homes in the next 30 years, creating a large market for custom decks. Each year 3 million decks are replaced, with an average North American wooden deck only lasting 8.7 years before requiring replacement. This creates a need for low maintenance decking and since it currently represents a small percentage in the market, it gives Hickory Dickory Decks’ leading market position an unparalleled opportunity. Lastly, the Baby Boomers are in their prime “deck buying” years and many do not have the time or desire to build their own deck.

Work Benefits
A major benefit that many existing Hickory Dickory Decks franchisees say is important to them is the fact that they get to WORK FROM HOME, whether it be their home office or kitchen table. This means no out of town traveling and therefore more time with your family and friends. Another key benefit is that you can control your own quality of life with the ability to set your own schedule and business direction. Seeing as this is a large seasonal market, you are able to take some well-deserved time off and be semi-retired in the off season. Another aspect of the business that is important is that this is a great referral based business. Happy customers tell their friends, family, co-workers and neighbours about your job well done and this allows you to build more relationships. Lastly you can create an outstanding deck in a matter of days, and studies show that starting a project from start to finish improves your job satisfaction, thus you will never get bored!
