Hickory Dickory Decks is well positioned in the deck industry with 23 years experience in custom deck building. After 10 years in deck franchising, we have grown to be the largest custom deck company in Canada and #2 in the world. Our websites, www.hickorydickorydecks.com & www.decks.ca, are leaders in the industry with over 10,000 deck pictures, first page location on Google, Yahoo, MSN, and over 40 million hits per year.
We have reached a size that mass buying power is giving our group a competitive edge in purchasing not only decking materials but all supplies and marketing materials. This will only continue to grow and become a more dominant advantage.
Housing Boom
A bullish trend in the North American housing market over the past 10 years has created a huge market for custom decks.
Decks Per Year
The Renovation industry is growing even faster, creating a huge market for rebuilding old decks. Over 3 million decks are replaced each year in North America.
Professionalism
Franchising brings professionalism; quality products, consistency, quality service and better warranties.
