Yelp Inc. (NYSE: YELP), the company that connects people with
great local businesses, is helping deserving dads complete the
unfinished deck they started during COVID-19. Just in time for

his dreams for Father’s Day by covering the cost of up to $2,000
for people who hire an eligible professional using Yelp’s free
Request-A-Quote feature.

As summer approaches and homeowners are continuing to upgrade
their outdoor spaces in anticipation of warmer weather, oftentimes
those ambitious and well-intentioned projects are left for dad to
take on. Dads may start these home improvements with the best of
intentions, but then life takes over and - like many of us who lost
interest in our newfound hobbies during quarantine - they may have
left half-finished projects around the backyard. In fact, according
to a recent survey from Kelton Global,* close to a quarter (22%) of
Americans who want to build or refinish a deck haven’t yet because
they are worried the work will never get done once it starts.
Seven in 10 (71%) people with an outdoor space say they or
someone in their home wants to build a new deck, or refinish or
repair their current one, but time and money are the key barriers
keeping them from making their backyard dreams a reality.
Starting today, Yelp users can simply search for a professional
through the Request-A-Quote feature, find a business in their area
that best fits their dad’s deck needs, and submit the quote for
their project at DecksforDads.Yelp.com for a chance to have the
cost, up to $2,000, covered. Whether the deck needs a professional
upgrade that involves staining, painting, making repairs or
building, eligible Yelp users can submit a quote for their desired
services by midnight on June 17, 2021, and Yelp will select winners
on June 18 - just in time to gift dad the deck he wants for
Father’s Day.
Millions of users come to Yelp each month to find trusted home
service professionals, and with more time at home, it’s no surprise
that Yelp searches for outdoor decks were up 373% this March
year-over-year, and increased 64% between February and March of
this year. With thousands of home service professionals on Yelp
that specialize in decks and backyard upgrades, it’s time to call
in the professionals to finish what dad started.
Additional information is available in the Official Rules at
https://decksfordads.yelp.com/rules. Limited to a total of $20,000
for selected winners.
*Data based on a survey from Kelton Global. The study surveyed
1,002 nationally representative Americans age 18+ in the U.S., and
was conducted online during the period of May 21-26, 2021 and the
study has a margin of error of +/- 3.1%.
