Has Anyone Heard Of "Hercules" Decking Material?
U have a potential customer who has been quoted for a deck by another company which is supplying "Hercules" composite Decking. I've never heard of it, and googling it results only in some stuff dating to 1996.
I don't want to have to compete against some cheap stuff that no one knows about. |

Re: Has Anyone Heard Of "Hercules" Decking Material?
That's when you have to give the sales pitch on how important it is to use industry-established products with bullet-proof warrantees.
"Mrs. Jones, of course we could use an obscure brand with no appreciable track record to save you some money up front, but if you had the insider industry knowledge that I have, you'd be sure to stick with a reputable manufacturer that has a proven track record for an investment like this in your home."

Damn, she fell for it. I was just joking with her. She said, "What do you call this"?, I said, "I call it it Hercules baby!".
Other than that though, I have never heard of the stuff. Do you think maybe this deck company is just branding some trex or other material with his own, pulled-out-of-thin-air name, knowing that he won't have any competition? "Eclusive dealers of Hercules Decking!" It's not like a HO is going to look for the brand name on the decking when it arrives on site.
