\nIt’s a sunny Saturday. You’ve traveled all week for work, and you’re beat. But…
\nLittle League practice starts at noon, and you’re excited to see your son do his thing.
\nThen, At 2:30, your 11-year old daughter has a piano recital at school. Your wife is taking her, and you’re going to meet them there. It should be over by 3:30 or so.
\nThen you need to do your deck.

\nObviously.
\nAnd you’re going to have time to do that how<\/em>?

Restoring A Deck Is An All-Day Project<\/h2>\n

It’s unrealistic to think that cleaning (stripping<\/em>) and staining a deck can be done in 2-3 hours.
\nAccording to Deck Rescue<\/strong>\u00ae, a franchise business that specializes in cleaning and beautifully restoring decks to their original luster, it takes 2-3 days to do it right.
\n1. To begin with, your deck will need to be stripped. (Deck Rescue uses a\u00a0100% biodegradable stripping enzyme<\/em>.)
\n2. Next, a wood cleaner\/brightener is used. It removes gray wood fibers and kills the mildew and mold that accumulates on all wooden decks. The cleaning solution they use also makes it easier for the wood stain to adhere to your deck.
\n3. Finally, a wood toner is applied to your deck. (Deck Rescue uses wood toner instead of wood stain, because toner\u00a0allows more of the wood grain to show through<\/em>.)

Now You Know<\/h2>\n

It’s important for you to know that I don’t typically go into too much detail about how a franchisor’s product or service works.\u00a0But in this case, I needed<\/em> to.
\nThat’s because if you use this franchise idea…and become a Deck Rescue franchisee<\/a>, you need to know who your target audience is.
\nNamely, it’s the guy I described above.
\nThe homeowner, who, as much as he tries, can’t find the time to do the things he needs to around the house.
\n <\/p>\n

You Can Be The Service Provider<\/h2>\n

You can help the guy out<\/strong>. And he really needs it!
\n\"deck<\/a>
\nIf you’re looking for a franchise opportunity that provides a much-needed service for time-starved homeowners<\/strong>, and you don’t want to break the bank to become a franchisee<\/strong>, check out Deck Rescue.
\nFounded in 1995, Deck Rescue has serviced thousands of residential and commercial decks (and fences too!<\/em>) over the years.
\nDave Hydock, the founder and CEO of Deck Rescue,\u00a0has been trained by Wolman Wood Care Products, the folks who invented the “Wolmanized<\/em>” pressure-treated lumber. He knows wood, and\u00a0 teaches franchisees* his trade secrets during as part of his very thorough two-week training program.

A Seasonal Business<\/h2>\n

Wouldn’t it be nice to own a franchise business that offers lots of flexibility?
\nIn other words, instead of owning a franchise business that requires you to almost always be there, like a food franchise or a retail franchise-all year long, you can own a franchise that offers an opportunity to eventually not<\/strong> be there all the time. And, in colder climates, you can actually have winters off!
\nHow does that sound?

Deck Rescue: Two Business Models<\/h2>\n

In addition to the work flexibility Deck Rescue franchisees have, they also have a choice as to how they want to operate their businesses.
\nThe 1st way is to be the owner-operator.
\nIn this model, you would own one truck, and be physically involved in every job, with a helper or two.
\nThe other way to go,and I call this the growth model, is to be more of a “supervisor<\/em>.”
\nThis would involve some<\/em> physical work-especially at first (in the great outdoors<\/em>!), with an eye towards growth.
\nIn this case, growth would involve:<\/p>\n
