Deck Medic specializes in the restoration, repair, and maintenance of outdoor wood structures such as decks, fences, and pergolas, using a proprietary five-step process and an exclusive product line that ensures lasting results. This specialization positions the brand in a niche with limited direct competition, allowing for repeat business and customer loyalty. With over 20 locations currently operating across the United States, Deck Medic has established a growing national footprint. While the brand is actively expanding in the U.S., it has no current operations outside the country, including Poland, though future international development remains under consideration.

Becoming a franchisee and financial requirements

The process of joining Deck Medic begins with an inquiry and introductory call, followed by participation in a Discovery Day at the company’s headquarters in Chicago. Here, prospective franchisees meet the leadership team, review the Franchise Disclosure Document, and, if mutually agreed, sign the franchise agreement. New owners undergo comprehensive training covering technical service delivery, customer service, estimating, sales, and business operations. The initial franchise fee is reported as $37,500 in the company’s official materials, though some sources indicate it can be as low as $5,000 depending on territory and promotions. Total start-up investment generally ranges from $60,000 to $100,000, which includes the franchise fee, a wrapped vehicle, specialized equipment, proprietary products, and working capital. Candidates are typically expected to have liquid capital between $50,000 and $75,000 and a net worth of at least $100,000. Ongoing royalties are approximately 6% of gross revenue.

Support, responsibilities, and revenue potential

Deck Medic offers a strong support structure for new franchisees, including exclusive territories, a turnkey marketing package, lead generation assistance, operational guidance, and continuous training updates. Franchisees are responsible for managing daily operations, delivering services to clients, building customer relationships, and overseeing local marketing initiatives. Revenue potential depends on territory size, marketing effectiveness, and operational efficiency, but the model is designed for scalability within the $450 billion home-remodeling sector. The company continues to explore growth opportunities and plans to expand its network, with international development—including entry into markets like Poland—being a possibility for the future.
