BETTER BUILDING by DESIGN
when only the very best will do Qualified Remodeler® currently ranks Archadeck Outdoor Living as the top deck and porch builder in the United States. And that accolade is not surprising when you consider that since 1980 our mission has been “to enhance the lives of our customers by creating unique and innovative outdoor living environments.” Doesn’t your home deserve a little enhancement?

You wish and our process delivers Part of the beauty of working with the designers and craftspeople at Archadeck Outdoor Living is that we do everything required to deliver the best outdoor space possible. Known throughout the build trades as The Archadeck Process, these five comprehensive, smart and extremely efficient steps say it all.

1. CONNECT It all begins with scheduling your free design consultation with your local Archadeck office. Scheduling a consultation is easy. Call us or complete a request form on our website and a representative from your local Archadeck office will be in touch right away to gather preliminary information on your project, make sure you’re comfortable with our process and schedule a time to meet.
2. CONSULT From your first interaction with Archadeck, we want it to be clear this is all about you. During your no-obligation consultation, your Archadeck representative will review your property with you and talk about your project. They’ll conduct a comprehensive needs analysis to help identify exactly what you’re looking for and share some ideas of our past designs to help spark your imagination and your visualization of what we can achieve for you.
3. DESIGN Once we have a clear picture of what you’re looking for, you can choose to move forward in one of two ways. Archadeck can draw up a custom plan using three-dimensional drawings to illustrate your proposed structure from a variety of angles. We’ll work together to refine that custom plan to your satisfaction prior to breaking ground on your project. Or for simpler projects, you can choose from one of our existing Lifestyle Classics designs or one of our two-dimensional plan drawings. Either way, you’ll receive an exact price quote and a detailed contract and specification sheet before construction begins.
4. BUILD With our quality-focused Job Progress Methodology (JPM), your project should progress smoothly and on schedule (barring any weather or material-availability delays). Your Archadeck team will do it all – from securing any necessary permits to cleaning up the construction debris. And your all-important final walk-through lets you point out any issues that we can address to your complete satisfaction.
5. ENJOY There’s no doubt, your Archadeck-built project will provide years of enjoyment –our warranties guarantee it. We look forward to working together to make your outdoor project dream a reality.

Our thinking is outside the box When builders start from square one, that’s often the deck or room you end up with – a square one. That’s why Archadeck Outdoor Living maintains a team of design and construction experts specializing in outdoor structures to create custom designs that complement your home’s lines. Our structures aren’t square (or even rectangular), unless you want them to be.

The finishing touches make all the difference Decorative railing treatments…exterior accent lighting…trimmed deck edges so you never see the exposed end of a deck board… the smallest touches can make a big impact. With over 100,000 outdoor structures under our tool belt, we know what touches provide the finished look you crave.

The form always follows function We make a point of understanding your lifestyle and expectations before we develop a design recommendation. If you do a lot of entertaining, we show you how to incorporate extra seating or create convenient areas for your grill or bar. If you’re an avid gardener, we might suggest custom planters or propose a way to maximize your garden views. Careful communication allows us to deliver the project of your dreams, or perhaps even a project that surpasses your dreams.

The construction is built to last Our exacting construction methods have proven themselves in project after project, year after year. Ongoing training and quality control programs assure that every project meets the same rigorous expectations regarding quality construction methods and materials – which always meet, and often exceed, local building codes.
