“We’ve found that the leading brands aren’t good for our climate” Trex is manufactured in Michigan. I’m pretty sure the local climate was taken into consideration with testing and long time installation in the field. Trex’s current lines are several generations old. I understand why these guys chose a product manufactured in Canada (approximately a 30% currency advantage) and relatively unknown in the local marketplace as a way to differentiate themselves with a slick sales pitch and advertising campaign. I’ll stick with a proven product.
This honestly makes me depressed. Sure come to Detroit and wipe out the small contractors. No one can afford a 25k composite deck. Most houses 25k is a 1/3 to 1/4 of the houses value.
An average house price of $75 to $100k?! What zip code exactly are you speaking of? If no one in your zip can afford a composite deck, then just keep doing what you’re doing. These guys aren’t your competition.
With 100 employees building 1000 decks in a year, this basically breaks down to 20 5 person crews, with each crew completing a deck every week of the year. To me, this seems somewhat unrealistic due to potential weather hold ups and unforseen delays which always happen on any job site.
They don’t install in the winter. With the fixed overhead they are carrying, managing it to stay afloat during a downturn will be a significant challenge.

Do your guys work through the winter?
Thank you to Green Shield! What other questions do you have for them?
I have a lot of questions
What is the #1 best marketing strategy for a smaller business like mine?
Is there a way to chat with Adam? I would love to get some advice? Great video!!
Did you ever get a reply as to whether or not you could connect with Adam?
Smart men
30-50mil projected revenue. Wow!
He said on track to make 1000 decks that’s 35k a deck
Can we purchase a franchise?
No
Nice!!!
If anyone is making 35 mil a year building decks, they are definitely ripping people off big time.
Don’t know what your talking about I build decks for a living and they’re 60k minimum
@user-ui7zg9my3j then you're a con artist too.
60k? Even bigger suckers. Thats the price of a majority of houses in Detroit. @@JustinRoyston-e5s
@@JustinRoyston-e5s What market are you building in? New, retops or a combo thereof?
Not true. Material plus half is a big profit margin
Lmao
