 ARCHADECK HISTORY


Archadeck was founded in response to the tight economic times of the early 1980's. In a climate of high interest rates and a virtual depression in the construction industry, homeowners and builders alike suffered - homeowners could no longer afford to move to larger, more expensive homes.

The first Archadeck office was founded in 1980 in Richmond, Virginia. In 1985, the second office opened, starting the nation's only network specializing in custom-designed and built decks, screened porches, sunrooms, gazebos and related exterior products. Today, there are 55 locally owned and operated offices in 26 states. Since its founding, the Archadeck network has built over 45,000 projects.


Archadeck was founded in response to the tight economic times of the early 1980's. In a climate of high interest rates and a virtual depression in the construction industry, homeowners and builders alike suffered - homeowners could no longer afford to move to larger, more expensive homes.

It was in these times that the remodeling industry responded to the needs of both homeowners and builders. Unable to move up, many homeowners chose to fix up and expand their residences. As families grew, so did the need for additional floor space. Remodeling the existing residence offered the affordable answer, and the industry shifted its resources in response. The remodeling industry, at over $120 billion a year and growing, is now larger than the new home industry.

One of the least expensive solutions to additional floor space is the deck. A deck adds usable living space, with an emphasis on the benefits of an outdoor lifestyle. Even though there are no walls or roof, a deck can be used virtually all year 'round in many climates. A deck also provides the platform on which a screened porch can be added later or even a full room addition.
