The first Archadeck office was founded in 1980 in Richmond, Virginia. High interest rates and a recession in the construction industry were preventing homeowners from moving up to bigger, better homes. So they expanded and remodeled instead. Decks are an inexpensive way of adding living area to a house, which appeals to a lot of people, including growing families. An architect and a builder saw the opportunity and founded Archadeck.  Archadeck franchise is the nationally recognized brand of U.S. Structures, a company that has spent 24 years turning a creative idea into one of the best franchise opportunities in the U.S. and internationally.
