Overview
DECKARE uses an easy-to-learn two-step process to
clean and restore outdoor wood surfaces. First, all the graying, mildew,
algae, old paint -any foreign matter are stripped away using water and
powerful cleansers, revealing the natural color of the wood. This like-new
appearance is preserved by applying a clear sealer or one of our wood-tone
colors for protection and beauty .Both steps are environmentally friendly and
guaranteed by DECKARE.
This process can be used on any outdoor wood surface, new or old, protecting an increasing substantial investment. DECKARE customers also receive a free check-up visit the following spring or fall. We recommend that a deck be treated at least every two years. Remember, a properly maintained deck always looks beautiful.
With your dedication and our proven procedures, you'll soon build a loyal customer base, which is the key to your company growth and success. Your satisfied customers can provide you with additional referrals through word-of-mouth and incentive programs.

Why Deckare Services?
Profile of the DECKARE
customer:- Homeowners, retailers, builders, and commercial property owners.
- Takes pride in the appearance of their home or place of business.
- Uses their deck or gazebo regularly.
- Knows the importance of maintaining the value of their property
According to Decorating Retailer magazine, 3 million new decks are built every year. There are approximately 40 million decks in existence, which are aging and have unique maintenance requirements. There are also millions of linear feet of docks and wooden fencing to be maintained. Pressure treated lumber is actually only protected against insects and dry rot, so wooden structures of all ages benefit from DECKARE's treatment.
The average deck can provide a 71% return on its cost when a home is sold, according to Remodeler magazine. A well-maintained deck may return all of the original cost and more, often being one of the top reasons a house sells or not. Gazebos, for example, can start as low as $1,800 and range up into the six-figures, according to the Wall Street journal -not an investment to be taken lightly. However, a beautiful, well-maintained deck can provide significantly better returns.
And DECKARE isn't just for residential areas. A viable commercial market also exists. Condominiums, resorts, apartment complexes, planned communities, restaurants, hotels, country clubs and builders may provide you with enormous opportunities.
There are currently 3,000 franchisors in the United States. Most of these franchised businesses are within mature markets like fast food and real estate. Presently, DECKARE stands alone within a currently undeveloped market with excellent potential.
