I want them feeling as comfortable as possible with their decision before they pull the trigger. Having a place to call home was also nice with our employees.
Ryan Pape’s experience launching an Archadeck franchise during the height of COVID taught him the value of resilience, smart capital planning, and the strength of a supportive network. His story is a masterclass in strategic growth and adapting in high-pressure situations.
Build With Purpose
A showroom wasn’t just a nice-to-have—it became a customer trust-builder and a differentiator that increased revenue.
Don’t DIY Everything
Ryan knew early that he couldn’t (and shouldn’t) do it all—so he outsourced marketing, accounting, and leaned on experts.
Vendor Relationships Matter
A good relationship with vendors can be worth more than a cheaper price. Trust, flexibility, and communication go a long way.
Culture is Your Foundation
Happy, informed employees thrive when you invest in training, communicate openly, and include them in decisions.
Plan for Growth, Even in Crisis
Starting a business during COVID meant navigating unpredictable demand and supply issues. A flexible plan helped Ryan keep moving forward.
Archadeck is a design and build franchise specializing in custom outdoor living spaces like decks, porches, patios, and more.

With a focus on quality, comfort, and craftsmanship, Archadeck creates spaces where homeowners can truly enjoy life outdoors.

RISE offered more than just space. The community, availability, and adaptability helped Archadeck grow intentionally and support their team’s needs.
Ryan’s biggest advice? Don’t overspend on gear or overpay yourself too soon. Stay lean, adapt as you grow, and build capital reserves to weather the unexpected.
