Eze-Breeze Windows, Outdoor rooms builder/contractor, Three Season Rooms

Macon GA 3-Season Room and Deck Combo Space!

June 16, 2021 admin

Nestled in the Wellington neighborhood of Macon, Archadeck, the area’s premier deck and porch builder has really done it this time. And the story goes something like this.

three season porch macon ga eze breeze outdoor room

Two years ago a prospective Macon sunroom client met with Archadeck of Central GA to explore ideas and options about adding an outdoor living space to their home. Then some 24 months later the prospective client became a 3-season room client … and then some.

It all started with the design and construction of a screened porch … which then evolved into an Eze Breeze project. If you’re not familiar with it, Eze Breeze is a system of custom fabricated floor to ceiling panes of acrylic see-through material, channeled with cascading, retractable screens.

Existing area before Archadeck of Central GA began the project.

Completed three-season room and deck after project completion.

Better than just a screened porch, the Eze Breeze panels keep annoying seasonal pollen and pesky bugs out of the outdoor living space and can open up to protected fresh air circulation when desired.

Incredibly durable and strong, the “window” material is virtually indestructible with regular seasonal use.

Now with an enclosed outdoor living space, the 3-season design took on more permanence with the addition of a portable heating system and an air conditioning unit.

To complement this new build, a new deck was also added, yielding a new landing, new stairs and a new direction stemming from the new Macon 3-season room/Eze Breeze porch.

As you can tell, the project was truly a work-in-process as features and functionality were added as construction progressed. In addition to the Macon Eze Breeze porch conversion, the final footprint of the space now measures 12-feet by 17-feet. Other embellishments included the space being plumbed for gas (outdoor grilling), and the addition of water lines at two strategic locations on the deck and at one of the posts.

To accent this array of outdoor living convenience and functionality, this “farmhouse” style new build features white board and batten interior walls with a tongue and groove pressure treated pine floor to match the home’s interior flooring.

As the final decorative accent, this open gable end porch features tempered glass in the transom above the entry door and insets on the open gable end. On the exterior of the space, Archadeck used pressure treated skirting which was also painted white to complete the contemporary farmhouse vibe.

As the Broadway tune goes, with this Macon deck builder project, it’s not where you start it’s where you finish. And we definitely finished on top.

So whether it be a Macon deck, 3-season room, or Eze Breeze outdoor living oasis, be sure to connect with this Macon deck builder. In fact, you can start right here.

This Macon GA Porch Builder Pays Homage To The Term “Idle Hour” In Magnificent Style!

June 2, 2021 admin

Let’s start this tale by acknowledging the fact that it’s hard to top “Idle Hour” for a southern neighborhood that embraces outdoor living. Within this Macon residential area lives a family that finally came to terms that their aging, elevated pressure treated wooden deck was ready to be permanently retired.

After the family’s free, no-obligation outdoor living design consultation, the consensus was not to replace the faltering deck by building another deck in its place, but rather to create a dramatic transformation.

Existing deck before Archadeck began the project.

Archadeck of Central GA masterminded this dramatic change by converting the space into a majestic, covered porch with a cozy outdoor fireplace integrated right into the heart of the design.

Keeping true to the former deck’s original essence, new contemporary pressure treated lumber was used to create the porch deck floor. At the very top, real wood was again used with the installation of a stunning pine tongue and groove ceiling.

The beauty of natural material aesthetics aside, strength and structure were just as important in the design and construction plan. The underneath area of the deck along with its footings were replaced to ensure excellent structural shape and long-term functionality. A swing door protected storage area was added below the porch to safely put away those outdoor seasonal items while not in use.

This Macon deck builder turned porch builder continued to go above and beyond by creating a beautiful shed roof – complete with gutters – to complete the protected installation.

The custom designed stacked stone fireplace with its all-weather television installation was highlighted with recessed can lighting and ceiling fans for added enjoyment.

Proud to be acknowledged as the area’s premier deck and porch builder, Archadeck of Central GA looks forward to being of assistance to you as you consider what new outdoor living space would be best for the future of your family. To reach out and start that conversation, just click right here.

Front Porch Upgrades, Porches

Front Porch Upgrade Delivers Dramatic Results for These Lizella Homeowners

March 24, 2021 admin

When it comes to first impressions, your home’s front entry is the area that sets the tone. A properly designed and built front porch can enhance your home’s façade and improve curb appeal immensely. The right porch can also add value to your home. Aside from aesthetics, a front porch also protects guests from inclement weather while welcoming them into your home.

What do you do when the front porch have is not exactly the front porch you want?

Answer: You call the local porch experts, Archadeck of Central GA, of course — which is exactly what these Lizella homeowners did. The front porch of their beautiful cape cod home was in need of an upgrade in order to get it looking, and functioning, the way they had in mind. And, let’s face it, is there anything better than a wrap-around porch for your Central GA home? All the more reason to upgrade the space.

If you look closely at the image below of the porch before we began the project, you will see that the design is void of any railing. Adding a rail to the porch was on the “to do” list for these clients, along with a gate to ensure their beloved dog could enjoy the porch safely as well.

What is not so visible in the “before” image is the degradation along the bottom of the wooden porch columns after sitting atop the concrete floor of the porch for 20+ years.

Your Macon-Area Porch Expert to the Rescue!

Our first order of business was to replace the existing columns on this stately porch. Instead of replacing the columns with wooden ones, the clients opted for low-maintenance fiberglass columns. By using fiberglass instead of wood, they avoid future rot from contact with the concrete porch floor below, since concrete is porous.

Archadeck of Central GA then doubled the low-maintenance benefits by adding a TimberTech Rail Impressions Express rail system in white aluminum. This railing profile is sleek, clean and doesn’t impede the views while still providing beauty and safety. Taking the safety factor a step farther, we also installed the safety gate the homeowners wanted. We used a double-gate profile. In order to achieve the look they had in mind we used two gate kits and used special order white bolts to secure the area..

The homeowners are elated with the upgrade. They are pleased with way their porch looks, and functions. The entire family can now enjoy the many benefits of this rocking chair front porch – the only thing missing is a glass of iced tea!

If you are ready to upgrade your existing front porch or front entry, or even start from scratch, we can ensure that all who enter will be treated to a beautiful first impression. Contact us today to schedule a design consultation.

When it Comes to Macon Deck Builders, Archadeck Stands the Test of Time

November 16, 2020 admin

Wondering why Macon-area homeowners come back to Archadeck of Central GA two and three times on subsequent projects? If we were the only custom deck designer and builder in the Macon-Warner Robins area, you could easily understand why. We know, however, that you have several Macon deck companies from which to choose. Our clients return to us for many reasons including the quality of our work, our professionalism and our attention to detail. New clients often contact us based on our excellent reviews.

Why All Macon Decks Should be Archadeck Decks

It’s a simple fact that Archadeck of Central Georgia tops the list of deck builders Macon GA homeowners have come to trust. Locally owned since 1991, we have developed long-standing relationships in the community—in and around Macon and Warner Robins, too. Our clients don’t feel the need to “try someone else next time.” When they want to talk about adding a new deck, replacing an older deck or redecking, they call us.

Here is a good example of clients choosing us for return engagements: Archadeck of Central GA Proves 3-Times is the Charm for This Lovely Macon Deck. Don’t let the title of that blog post fool you into thinking it took three tries for us to get a job done correctly. We built the clients’ deck in 1992 and added a new section on a second level in 1996. Then, these Macon homeowners called us in 2020 when they were ready to refresh and update their deck. Yes, that was 28 years after we built it. We were able to complete this last project as a low-maintenance redeck rather than full deck replacement because the deck’s substructure remained in excellent condition.

Not All Macon Deck Builders are Custom Deck Builders

If you’ve seen neighborhoods with homes that all look alike, you can bet their decks all look alike, too. Those decks are what we would call cookie-cutter decks, and Archadeck of Central GA doesn’t build cookie-cutter decks. We custom design and build each of our decks for one unique client and their unique home.

As custom deck builders, we respect the preferences of our clients when it comes to deck design as well as materials. We don’t try to steer homeowners to one kind of decking material or one brand of railing. Instead, we make sure they are aware of the various options from pressure-treated wood to hardwoods and low-maintenance composite and synthetic decking.

We understand that different homeowners have different priorities. When a client lets us know keeping costs down is their top priority, we design and build their pressure-treated wood deck with pride. We will not try to sell them a deck designed with more costly hardwoods or composites. Meanwhile, if reducing deck maintenance is a client’s priority, we show them composite decking options that work with their budget. Here’s a perfect example: Macon GA’s Barrington Hall Homeowners Love Their New Deck Replacement. Notice the new deck railing is a mixture of materials including low-maintenance, splinter-free composite rail cap combined with wood posts and rails for cost savings.

Archadeck of Central Georgia has been designing and building decks Macon homeowners love for almost 30 years. It’s not enough to say “we must be doing something right.” We’re doing all kinds of things right for our clients. We would like to welcome you to that group!

Is it time for a new deck at your Macon or Warner Robins area home? Whether you’re thinking about a wood deck or one built with low-maintenance composites, Archadeck of Central GA is ready to help! Get in touch with us by calling 478-745-2000 or email us at centralgeorgia@archadeck.net.

A Pergola Is The Perfect Fit For THis North Macon Homeowners!

November 9, 2020 admin

Have you ever looked at your existing backyard space, or lack of, and think “I wish” or “I should have”? Chances are likely that as a homeowner, you have desires, or even regret, about an aspect of your home or landscape that you would like to change or would have designed differently if given the chance. This week’s feature story serves as the perfect example of an existing outdoor living space that just needed the custom elements that Archadeck is known for.

Archadeck of Central GA makes your backyard different by design!

Part of the reason Archadeck of Central GA has so many satisfied customers is the way we listen to our client’s needs and offer a customized solution that speaks to those needs. Case in point is our most recent project in North Macon.

These clients reached out to Archadeck to recommend a custom shade solution for their existing backyard deck and patio space. They knew that the area needed help, but was uncertain of exactly what they wanted. Their existing patio was unbearable to grill on or utilize in the afternoon due to its proximity to the afternoon sun. In addition, their existing wooden deck was in need of replacement.

It all began with a pergola!

The homeowners had already started thinking about the possibility of adding a pergola over the patio as a way to beat the heat! After addressing the issues of their current space, Archadeck of Central GA offered a dual-phased solution which tackled the shade solution and bringing the existing deck into the 21st century.

Indeed, adding a new pergola served as the perfect fit for the patio to provide shade since the placement of the patio was almost due north. Archadeck installed a stunning wooden pergola featuring beefy 8 x 8 posts and decorative ogee’ ends.

The pergola construction also features Belgard’s Weston Stone pavers. This enabled us to install the posts for the pergola deep into the ground. We added the pavers to create a pedestal for the posts.

A new low maintenance deck with an updated design

Along with the addition of the pergola over the patio for shade, Archadeck also updated the backyard deck design for these homeowners. The new deck increased the size and functionality of the space by increasing the seating area and more room to enjoy grilling outdoors.

The new deck was built using super low-maintenance Fiberon Good Life decking in the color Bungalow. An updated railing was installed on the deck using black aluminum square railing with a Fiberon rail cap.

Additionally, we changed the stair configuration allowing the new stairs to spill into the patio and still access the basement below allowing for a right or left traffic flow option.

Archadeck of Central GA has the solution for your backyard woes!

The new updated design, shade solution and low-maintenance deck addition exceeds everything the homeowner had envisioned for this space. At Archadeck of Central GA we go above and beyond to deliver a custom area that is sure to heighten enjoyment for many years to come!

Are you ready to start living the good life in your backyard? As your trusted deck and porch builder since 1991, look to us to design and build the outdoor space you have always wanted! Get in touch with us by calling 478-745-2000 or via email at centralgeorgia@archadeck.net.

Archadeck Builds Your Deck Correctly to Avoid Problems Later

September 19, 2020 admin

The elevated deck spanning the width of this home off Wimbish Rd. in Macon, GA, has a cautionary message for all homeowners: Work with the experts! In this case, we, Archadeck of Central GA, we’re the experts who were able to solve the client’s deck problem. Their wooden deck, original to the home, was causing water to leak into the basement. Many people had tried to remedy this issue for the homeowner, without success.

Why Call an Expert Macon Deck Builder?

Plenty of contractors, builders, handy-men and do-it-yourselfers will tell you they can build a deck. And maybe they have built a deck or two. When you work with Archadeck, however, you benefit from our vast expertise in every aspect of deck construction. Your Archadeck project will also be covered by warranties you won’t get with anyone else.

When you work with an expert like Archadeck of Central GA, you’re much less likely to have problems with your deck in the first place.
An expert won’t replace an old deck with a new one without finding and correcting the source of leaks or other issues.
Archadeck’s warranties covering the workmanship and structural integrity of your deck are unmatched in the industry.

For a Deck Done Right, Call Archadeck of Central GA

This home’s lush landscaping and wooded surroundings off Wimbish Rd. in Macon provide a beautiful setting for an elevated deck. The home’s original deck, made of pressure-treated pine, was fraught with issues, though, and needed to be replaced. Our task, before building a new deck, was to locate the source of water leaks. The homeowner had water leaking into the basement and running down the exterior wall under the deck.

Archadeck of Central Georgia was able to identify the source of these issues: the deck had never been flashed properly. Evidently the home builder didn’t fully understand deck construction. In addition to issues with the flashing, we identified that the deck joists running parallel to the house were part of the problem. The only viable solution was to remove the existing deck and start over.

The homeowner chose a new wood deck for this deck replacement project, so we used premium pressure-treated pine. We were able to extend the new deck out 2 ft. deeper than the original deck, which was 10 ft. deep. The homeowner loves the extra spaciousness of the new deck.

To prevent leaks, we installed rolled rubber flashing where appropriate and flashed above the deck with vinyl flashing as well. We also secured the area around the back of the fireplace with caulking and repaired the home’s damaged siding. Not only does the client love the new deck, he loves the peace of mind that comes with using a true expert deck designer and builder.

What’s So Great About Archadeck’s Warranties?

Macon GA / Bibb County Deck Design: Who Wouldn’t Prefer a New Deck to an Old Patio?

August 29, 2020 admin

Sometimes you sit with an idea for a home improvement project and then it changes or becomes less appealing or is no longer needed. Other times, you sit with an idea and it’s constant. It doesn’t change. When the time is right, you act on it. So goes the story of this low-maintenance composite deck project in Macon GA/Bibb County.

Bibb County Deck Builders

Your Bibb County Composite Deck Contractor

Archadeck of Central GA, your Macon GA and Bibb County composite deck contractor, first met with this Bibb County homeowner two years ago. He had a concrete patio with a brick surround, and he simply didn’t like it. Not only did he not like the concrete look, he didn’t like the elevation and the drop-off from the patio to the yard.

Before Archadeck of Central GA began the new deck addition.

At that time the homeowner was interested in having a composite deck built over the patio, completely covering the patio. We discussed costs and went over some other options. We did not hear back from him. Not for a while, anyway.

Just recently, this homeowner called us back, so we met with him again. In the time that had passed, his idea about covering the patio with a composite deck had not changed. If anything, he was more certain that’s what he wanted to do. This time he was ready to act on that idea. Archadeck of Central GA perfected the design and installed a new composite deck over the existing patio. It was the right choice for this homeowner, and he loves his new low-maintenance deck.

Designed for Backyard Entertaining—and Easy Maintenance

For his new deck, the client chose TimberTech composite decking capped on all four sides. We recommended this selection for an additional barrier against moisture, in case the underlying patio collected moisture beneath the deck. The homeowner chose TimberTech’s Brown Oak color for the deck field area and Silver Birch for the deck’s border and steps. The brown complements the color of brick on the home, and the silver provides a pleasing contrast.

Bibb County Deck Builders

The homeowner entertains frequently, so we designed the deck with wraparound steps wide enough to be used as seating. The wide steps also offer an easy transition from the deck into the yard. The new deck has unified the area, and now the outdoor living space has become an easily-accessible space for entertaining. For deck safety after dark, we installed DEKOR riser lights on the steps.

Archadeck creates a bigger and better deck in macon!

July 29, 2020 admin

Our recent job in Macon takes us to a property where the homeowners had initially built the deck. Homeowner-built decks are something we see on a regular basis. The existing deck wasn’t necessarily built incorrectly, however, building codes change on a regular basis so they contacted us to take a look.

Before Archadeck of Central GA began the new redesign project.

The impetus of homeowner’s scheduling a design consultation with Archadeck of Central GA was to enhance their outdoor living space. Not only did they want a bigger deck, they wanted a better deck too!

One of the main obstacles we had to address was the home’s existing water line. The water line lays under the area where the deck is placed. In addition, the original deck substructure was built using blocks with no footings. We had to make sure the new deck was built in such a way that delivered strength to support the new decking, but also one that did not infringe on the water lines present in the area.

Low Maintenance and More Space!

Archaeck of Central GA put together a deck re-design that included bigger stairs across the front of the structure to open up the view. We wanted to retain the visibility into the backyard looking into deck from within the home. Where railing once obstructed the view, we opened that up with larger, sweeping stairs that can double as seating.

Macon GA Fiberon Deck Builder — Look how we opened up the view!

Another element we addressed was making the deck level (flush) with the home. Before, the homeowners had to step down iinto the deck from the sliding doors. We redesigned the new deck to make sure you could easily flow from home-to-deck without having to step down.

Along with the larger footprint and structural updates, we makde sure the new decking would require as little maintenance and worry to keep it looking the part. Archadeck used low maintenance Fiberon Good Life decking in the color called Escapes Beach House. This decking delivers durability, beauty and longevity over pressure treated wooden decks. It will not crack, splinter or decay and the 3-sided capped layer will resist staining and fading over time.

Macon Deck Extension and Redeck — The new deck offers more room and less maintenance!

We also used black Fortress iron pickets along with a Fiberon rail cap that matches the deck to finish off the deck perfectly. The homeowners are elated with their new deck as it is lower maintenance, easy to clean and adds drama to their backyard gatherings.

Screened Porch and Deck Combo in Macon GA’s Historic District

May 27, 2020 admin

Archadeck of Central Georgia was called on by these Macon homeowners to upgrade their existing wooden deck to create an attractive and more usable outdoor living space.

These homeowners wished for an outdoor living area, which offered privacy and protection from the elements by way of a screened porch. Their existing wooden deck was aged, and structurally unable to facilitate the weight of a roof and walls for screening, so we replaced the entire structure to suit today’s building codes.

Archadeck of Central GA is your tried and trusted screened porch builder

Archadeck can address challenges in building your new porch.

One of the many benefits of hiring Archadeck of Central Georgia to be your outdoor living builder, is that we can identify and correct challenges in building. This home in the historic district of Macon, was built in the 1920’s. There was a challenge in that the brick was separating from the home. After tearing down the old deck, the homeowner fixed the brick, so we could make the proper home connection with the new porch and deck. The home’s existing overhang also required a new post and beam system, which we installed. We also faced a difficult roof connection, which we were able to properly address when adding the new porch roof. The screened porch has a gable roof, which we tied into a flat roof. To accommodate proper connection, we changed the pitch at the back of the porch, and built a hip tie-in.

One space becomes two with a screened porch and deck combination

Traditional wood-framed screened porch and deck in Macon GA.

Many of our porch clients choose to add decks for a number of reasons. It’s not only nice to have a choice to enjoy an enclosed outdoor space, or bask in the sunshine in an open space, but it also creates an open area, where homeowners can place their grills and smokers. This deck and screened porch combination was built with traditional pressure-treated wood. The project also required adding a new gutter system on the porch.

Archadeck of Central GA installed a true exterior door for this screened porch, so the owner could add a doggy door. Full metal exterior doors are more accommodating for adding pet doors!

Even though the new screened porch and deck addition were built on the same footprint of the existing deck, the space is far more accommodating and enjoyable. Outdoor living upgrades do not have to be larger than what is already there – they must be made better.

Look at the lush, natural view from inside the porch. These homeowners can enjoy the outdoors without the threat of pest invasions, inside the confines of the screened porch.

The screened porch offers two points of exit and entry. One goes directly to the backyard. The other goes onto the deck, which also leads to the backyard.

Ask Archadeck: Is 1 Deck Better Than 2 for this Gray GA Home?

May 13, 2020 admin

When is one deck better than two decks?

1: When the deck wraps around two sides of your home, with entrances on both sides, and plenty of room for a table and chairs!

2: When Archadeck of Central Georgia designs the perfect deck to replace your two-deck logistical inconvenience.

3: All of the above!

This deck-lovers’ home in Gray, GA, originally had two wood decks on the main level, but they weren’t connected to each other. Each deck was too small to be functional. To move from one small deck to the other, the homeowners had to walk in through the home and out through the other door. While one deck was covered by the eaves, and they kept the grill there, only the other deck had room for a table and chairs. Grilling and dining outdoors was not very relaxing here!

Gray GA Deck Design 101: How Will You Use Your Deck?

Their Archadeck of Central Georgia deck designer immediately knew these homeowners would get much more use out of one bigger deck. They couldn’t use the two smaller decks together in any way, so they were missing the basic functionality that one continuous deck would provide.

When your Archadeck design consultant meets with you to talk about your deck project, we follow a process called a comprehensive needs analysis. Whether you’re replacing an existing deck or starting from scratch, we want to understand how you plan to use your deck. This process works well! From this conversation, we receive the information we need to design the perfect outdoor living space for the way you want to live outdoors.

gray ga elevated deck builders — New spacious deck in Gray, GA, by Archadeck of Central GA.

Our initial conversation with these clients confirmed our hunch: one larger deck would serve their needs more completely and elegantly. We designed the new deck with access through the same two doors to the home. Now they can reach any point on the deck through whichever door is more convenient at the time. This may seem like a simple point, but it makes all the difference! It also illustrates the importance of using a Macon and Warner Robins area deck builder who specializes in custom deck design. Not every deck builder will have the experience—and the design chops—to create the best solution for your home. You can always count on Archadeck of Central GA for functional and innovative deck design.

Homeowners’ Top Design Decision: Wood or Composite Decking?

One of your most important decisions is whether to use wood, composite or synthetic decking materials for your central Georgia home. These Gray, GA, homeowners wanted to make the switch from a wood deck surface to one built with Fiberon Good Life composite decking. They were more than ready to enjoy a low-maintenance deck. Note: the larger your deck, the more significant that decision will be for you!

gray ga fiberon deck builders — We used beautiful, low-maintenance Fiberon decking on the new deck.

With composite decking, their new decking boards won’t splinter, crack or decay. And Fiberon’s three-sided cap layer resists staining and fading. Speaking of decking boards that resist fading—it’s all about the color!—these clients chose Fiberon’s popular Bungalow color.

To complete their new deck design, the homeowners selected Fortress pickets for the deck railing. These pickets (also called balusters) are thinner and less obtrusive than the wood pickets many older decks have. Also, because of the black color, the pickets seem to disappear when you look out across the yard. For cost savings, the clients selected pressure-treated wood for the deck railing and posts. For reduced maintenance, they wanted the top railing capped with Fiberon boards.

We used pressure-treated wood to build the framing that supports the deck. That’s not unusual. It’s what we always use for framing, regardless of whether the support structure will be visible or hidden from view by deck skirting. In this case, our design required a good bit of complex framing to support the large deck with minimal posts.

The deep center section of this wraparound deck gives the homeowners a little more room than what they wanted for a table and chairs. They didn’t mind that at all! The new design gives them easy access to the entire deck from either of two doors to the home. And here’s an added bonus: because the side section is under the eaves, the homeowners can even sit on the deck while it’s raining.
