OUR HISTORY & VISION

Started in 2011, Deakon home services was developed around the principle of bringing service back to the home improvement industry.
We have seen service and quality disappearing over the years in an effort to boost profit margins by using lower quality products and less skilled people. It is our goal at Deakon Home Services to build long-term relationships with both our clients and our employees and to offer 
the same consistent level of experience to both across all of our product offerings.  

It’s enough to be in business to support your family, make changes to an industry, provide jobs and so on. But what about the needs that face our city and state? Atlanta is said to have the most numerous Human Trafficking problem in America. The problems we face here feed the whole of our country. We live here and so this is not just a black eye on our state but we believe that it’s ours too. We pride our company on our ability to restore and redeem, to remodel and develop a home, well there are lives that need this kind of attention as well. We want to lead through service in our commitment to serve this problem. Collectively as a company we believe that we will see the end of this slavery in our lifetime. Until then we commit ourselves, our own personal time, and our own personal profits (we do not increase the cost of our products) to achieve this goal. This gives our customers the opportunity to make a better choice and choose a company that has devoted themselves to a better tomorrow for Georgia.

What does this look like?

We have committed to sharing 1% of all of our annual profits with local charities who are making an impact in the fight against human trafficking (this is our first year making this commitment and at present this number is projected to be in the range of $10,000 or more). In addition, each of our employees are given a minimum of one day off a month to contribute paid time off to working with associated nonprofits directly in the fight. We also share our marketing efforts to support their cause first as Deakon Home Services. This is money we already spend on marketing to reach our customers. It works for us because we are getting more for our money as well as helping to create awareness with a large portion of the marketing we produce. It helps with our marketing as well because it forces us to focus on building quality relationships rather than just drive-by antics. Further, in the future we hope to develop a program especially to help give apprenticeship opportunities to the young men who are coming out of these situations. We believe this will make a significant impact because while many organizations will be working to help the women involved the young men are not always the number one priority. For us, they will be, and we will do all we can for all we can.
