Below is each factor with Scranton's figure and where it ranks; see the deck building industry page, the Scranton market page, pricing, features and the case study for how Full Loop CRM handles the operations side.
88% of homes predate 1980, so aging exteriors keep deck building in demand. That is among the highest of the markets we cover (96th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 55%. Across the 9 other Pennsylvania markets we cover the average is 85%, so Scranton sits close to the state pattern. For a deck building operator, that is a genuine tailwind worth building marketing and capacity around.
Scranton's single-family detached share is 49%, a smaller driver of deck building demand than in many of the markets we cover. That is below most of the markets we cover (38th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 56%. Across the 9 other Pennsylvania markets we cover the average is 26%, so Scranton sits above the state pattern. Operators here usually lean on other drivers instead, which is why the factors above matter more.
