With teenagers, making family dinner meaningful might seem impossible. These Macon homeowners found a way.

July 9, 2015 admin

As parents of 3, my wife and I know all too well the challenges of making the family dinner what it is supposed to be or what it ought to be. We can make the quintessential family dinner, remove all the daily troubles from our mind and sit down to provide a platform to hear our children talk. All too often, that meaningful conversation just doesn’t happen. How did our parents do it? How did they really get us talking about local events and homework and having healthy conversations about meaningful topics?

Based on a story that a recent client told me, perhaps getting slightly out of the house for family dinners might be the perfect recipe. When I talk to clients after completing their project, they always tell me that their porch is their favorite room in the house.

This Macon homeowner raved about the fact that it has strengthened their relationship with their teenagers. They have their family dinners out on the porch. She said their daughters linger longer, talk more, and are more a part of the family experience than when inside.

Maybe it’s the fresh air. Maybe it’s the feeling of being out of the house or away from the gadgets sitting inside the house. Maybe it’s the feeling that Mom and Dad are less frazzled because of the calming nature of the porch. But I’m glad to hear that their porch is making a difference in their lives.

In addition this story, there are some fun ones I hear quite a bit. Outside of the classic screened porch experience of enjoying morning coffee on the porch or sneaking away to enjoy a favorite book, here are just a couple other favorite screened porch uses my clients tell me about.

Sleeping on the porch

While you may think the only person sleeping on the porch is the person in your house that has been kicked to the dog house, that is the farthest thing from the truth. My clients tell me they love sleeping outside. Some bring their sleeping bags along with their favorite movie and popcorn to spend the rest of the evening enjoying the breeze and fresh air. Many keep a throw blanket on their porch to grab a cat nap at different times of the day.

Watching TV outside

Would we ever have imagined we would be watching TV and sitting on nice furniture on our screened porch? Gone are the days of portable patio furniture and lack of entertainment. Many clients request that a TV be built into their screened porch design. Whether you enjoy a little ambient noise, enjoy catching just the important parts of the news, or enjoy catching up on your favorite series, you can now do it in comfort from your porch.

Working outside

Laptop computers are great. We can take them to the office and to the kitchen table. We can also take them to another desk in the house or the sofa table. Now you can take your laptop outside to work – outside on your screened porch. All of our porches include electricity so you can plug in when you need to or turn on a lamp when the sun is going down. Merging the relaxing feeling that a screened porch brings with your necessary take home work makes it just a little more enjoyable.

We strive to create the perfect outdoor living space just for you. Call: (478) 745 – 2000. Email: centralgeorgia@archadeck.net.

Deck maintenance is a little like flossing

July 3, 2015 admin

: Pressure-treated wood deck in Macon GA

Everyone knows that to keep your teeth looking good that you need to floss regularly. Maintenance of a pressure treated pine deck is a similar proposition. You know you should be doing it, you have a pretty good idea about how it should be done even though you may be a little vague on some of the details, and you may occasionally fall a little short and need to do a little extra work to get back on track. The good news? It’s never too late to start. Here are some deck maintenance tips for all stages of a Macon deck lifespan.

More than half the decks in this area have flooring made of pressure treated pine lumber. Almost all of them have their framing done with those boards as well. Pine is an economical and renewable resource. When it gets wet, it swells and when it dries or sits in the sun, it shrinks. This movement, swelling and shrinking, causes the wood fibers to tear themselves apart causing splintering, splitting, warping and cupping. It’s that natural cycle you are trying to interrupt.

: TimberTech Synthetic deck Juliet GA

The first step is to pressure wash the deck, giving the most attention to the horizontal surfaces. First, they are the most visible. Second, those are the areas where water and dirt are most likely to sit and soak in, so they need the most attention. After the deck dries from its cleaning, wait until early evening and then apply a high quality sealant like Cabot. Do not apply under the summer sun. The sealants will evaporate right off during the heat of the day. Wax-injected lumber may buy you 12-months or so before needing its first treatment

Ideally, pressure treated pine decks will be cleansed and sealed at least once a year and splinters won’t be an issue for a decade or more. If you are seeing the signs of neglect in your deck, it may not be too late. Olympic makes a product called Rescue It!™ that fills gaps and seals at the same time. It requires some extra site preparation, but can help bring a long-neglected deck back into use quickly. It’s thick and looks a little like a truck bed liner when it dries.

In many cases, the deck surface may need to be pulled up and replaced. Replacing deck boards can be costly but not as expensive as building a new deck. Don’t panic if you think your deck needs this level of attention. It may even be a good thing. Macon redecking projects are a great opportunity to replace pressure treated pine with synthetic decking and you can effectively eliminate 95% of upkeep chores if you go that route. You can even pick a new color scheme if you replace your boards with synthetic boards.

The 4 things you didn’t know about Eze-Breeze® vinyl windows

June 9, 2015 admin

If you aren’t already familiar with Eze-Breeze® window systems, it’s time to fix that! Eze-Breeze is a revolutionary product that transforms the traditional Macon screened porch to a 3-season room that offers all of the best features of outdoor living with none of the drawbacks.

# 1 Eze-Breeze windows look like glass, but they are not

When you see photos of a Warner Robins porch that has Eze-Breeze windows, you will likely assume that you are looking at traditional glass windows. Their crystal clear clarity is comparable to glass, but they are actually made of 10-mil vinyl glazing. You can choose your featherweight vinyl in a range of colors, depending on if you want to include some built-in shading. In addition to saving you money, this product will stretch rather than shatter when it is put under stress. Within minutes of a push or a hit to the vinyl, the product will reform to its original shape. Their 10-year warranty against most kinds of damage is the best you will find anywhere and puts traditional glass windows to shame.

#2 Eze-Breeze vinyl offers protection from all the elements: including pollen

We don’t see much snow in Georgia, but Eze-Breeze will keep the elements on the outside where they belong. Protect your furniture, rugs, sound system or anything else you like to enjoy on your porch with these amazing vertical or horizontal sliding windows. They will keep out rain, snow, wind, pollen, and mosquitoes: all of the scourges of outdoor living. When you want to welcome in a breeze, just give them a quick slide to open and you have 75% smooth airflow almost instantly.

#3 More resilient than glass

Glass has strength and heft. With those two features also comes significant expense. Eze-Breeze offers an enticing alternative. Push against one of the vinyl panes and it will snap back into shape. Price glass versus Eze-Breeze vinyl and you’ll see less of an impact on your wallet as well. You can’t buy a custom glass window system at a comparable price. You can’t repair a damaged window pane as easily.

#4 Eze-Breeze is the secret to low maintenance porch living

Eze-Breeze vinyl is easier to clean than traditional glass windows. A spray with a garden hose is usually all you need to keep your view clear and crisp. Forget about storing patio furniture for the winter. When your windows are up, the furniture is beautifully protected from rain, dirt and grime. You will still have to clean that disgusting yellow film off your car in the spring, but your porch furniture and carpet will be clean and ready for use daily when it sits behind the protective shield of Eze-Breeze custom windows and doors.

Pool decks and patios

Pavilion, pool deck, patio, pergola, or open porch for your Macon Warner Robins pool?

June 4, 2015 admin

Take a look at this paver patio we built in Warner Robins. This poolside area also includes a custom-built fire pit to match the pavers, an open porch, and a full outdoor kitchen. Sparkling blue pools offer cool relief from the sun and the perfect place to complete your daily exercise regimen. After pulling yourself up the ladder from a quick dip, do you want to head immediately back inside the house? Heck no! You want make the most of your pre- or post-swim poolside experience by lounging in an area custom-designed for how you like to enjoy your time in the yard.

There are some great options for outdoor living spaces around your pool. A Belgard paver patio is a great option to upgrade your poolside. It’s easy to choose a color palette that appeals to your eye and it can be laid out in nearly any shape you can imagine. Whether it’s curvy, angular or some combination of the two, our experienced team will professionally grade, prepare, and install the patio that fits your personality. Working around a tree or landscape feature or including a low seating wall or fire pit is a great addition to your poolside paver patio.

Perhaps your property is on a grade. Or maybe you want to have a terraced effect in your yard. You might be better off in those cases considering a pool deck. Regardless of whether you go the poolside deck or patio route, we will offer a variety of suggestions to make the transitions from home to poolside to yard harmonious and as inviting as the water itself.

Another key consideration for your backyard oasis is sun protection. Some people want more, others less, but even the most enthusiastic sun worshiper needs a little shade now an then. Consider installing a pergola. Your Warner Robins pergola can be built free-standing or connected to your home or another structure. Pergolas can make a very bold design statement for a relatively small investment.

If you are looking for something a little more substantial than a pergola, consider a porch or pavilion. Covered porches and screened porches will offer the best protection from the sun while still allowing you to enjoy the outdoors. You can enjoy a meal under a covered area whether rain or shine. Maybe even mount a TV or sound system.

The owners of larger properties sometimes find that they want to have many poolside amenities. If you want a shower, bathroom, or storage poolside, you may want to consider a pool house. A pool house can have plumbing or air conditioning and can serve a variety of different functions. Wouldn’t poolside be a terrific location for your home office? Perhaps it could be the place where you keep the video games for the teenagers. What a party that would be swimming in the pool, music from the outdoor speakers and games or movies on the flat screen just steps away.

The pool is a great first step to the amazing yard of your dreams. The next step is to call Archadeck for a free consultation to help you find the best path forward. It’s not as far away as you might think.

Paver patios & hardscapes

Is a Belgard paver patio right for you? Here are some considerations.

May 16, 2015 admin

Deciding that you want a new outdoor living space in your yard is the easy part. Trying to decide exactly what structure and what it should look like can be a little more of a challenge. Is your yard is better suited to a deck or patio? Here is a quick guide. Take a look at the height differentiation from your back door to the ground. As the height differentiation increases from grade to the base of the back door, then typically a deck is cheaper to build than patio. That’s why we offer 2 different types of uncovered outdoor spaces; patios for lower grade yards and decks for yards with more grade.

For homes built at ground level, the easiest, most economical choice may be a patio. Archadeck of Central GA may be able to re-surface your existing concrete patio and turn it into a paver patio.

If you’ve decided that a patio is right for your home, you can start thinking about what amenities you want to include. Would you like to have retaining walls for your landscaping or higher seating walls? Will you include built-in lighting? How about a fireplace or fire pit? You can easily create an attached space for a hot tub. If you enjoy cooking outside, you may want to consider including an outdoor kitchen or outdoor grill area in your plans.

Archadeck of Central Georgia uses the Belgard paver line. As the premiere manufacturer of pavers in the country, Belgard offers the perfect combination of quality, beauty, selection, and value. This provides several benefits? First, a professionally installed Belgard paver patio is very low maintenance. It will probably not need to be sealed and, in the unlikely event that a ground stone is broken, each can be replaced individually. The flexible joints shift without cracking and stay looking great over the long term.

Note that it’s imperative to have a professional installation. A paver patio needs extensive site preparation: the ground must be leveled and topped with 4-6” of compacted gravel and an inch of sand for the base. It’s a lot of hot, heavy work, but it pays ample dividends in looks and longevity. If you just lay paver stones on the ground, you will be tremendously disappointed in short order. No one wants a patio that becomes a tripping hazard almost immediately.

When you start thinking about the look and feel you want for your Macon Warner Robins Belgard patio, you will want to take a look at Belgard’s Lafitt® paver. It’s the most popular paver we install here in Central GA. Customers love the sophisticated look that calls to mind sitting outside a Mediterranean villa. It’s available in six color palettes and can be laid out in a variety of patterns.

We will identify the best structures and materials to create the perfect outdoor living space just for you.

Archadeck of Central GA, Outdoor kitchen

Want to make your Macon outdoor living space sizzle this season? Try adding a little green.

April 2, 2015 admin

: Take a look at the perfect Big Green Egg cooking space we built at this Macon GA home. You want your cooker to be on a secure base right at the perfect height.

Spring has sprung in the Macon and Warner Robins area and with it marks the debut of the outdoor living season. Part of what makes outdoor living so much fun is outdoor dining and food preparation. Being in the business of designing and building outdoor living spaces, we have seen our fair share of grills, smokers and other outdoor cooking implements come and go. However, in our experience, among the flurry there is one outdoor smoker that is tried and true — the Big Green Egg.

: Here’s another great way we can integrate your cooker into your Macon and Warner Robins area kitchen. With this method, you have built in counter space to put your spatula and zesty cooking sauce.

Archadeck of Central GA has had many customers design their outdoor living space, or outdoor kitchen addition, with an Egg as the center of attention. You can expand your outdoor food preparation capabilities by adding an Egg to your list of amenities. In our experience, many homeowners opt for the larger size when considering it within their outdoor addition. Since these cookers are quite heavy, a stationary location can make functionality run smoother by integrating the Egg into an outdoor counter top at grilling height. This will safeguard against tipping the Egg and it looks great when built into your outdoor living space.

The Big Green Egg is widely acclaimed as the original American-designed ceramic cooker and this modern culinary marvel stands alone as the most versatile barbecue and outdoor cooking product on the market. Eggs offer more capabilities than all other conventional cookers combined. From the perfect steak, melt-in-your-mouth ribs to appetizers, the Egg is a perfect addition to your outdoor kitchen.

Eze-Breeze Windows

Can the screen on your Central GA Porch keep the pollen at bay?

March 27, 2015 admin

Pollen!

As if we weren’t already sneezing enough, the surefire sign that pollen season has come is that lovely yellow dusting that greets us at our car each day, sits atop our outdoor cushions, and constantly has us itching and blowing our noses. Then there’s the perennial struggle. The weather finally warmed up and the last thing we want to do is have our allergies keep us inside. Is there any scenario that’s truly the best of both worlds? Many of our clients ask us if the screening on a porch will keep the pollen at bay. As you can imagine, nothing can completely keep pollen at bay even though screens do cut down on the pollen that settles on your porch furniture. But, have no fear, this is not a no-win situation. A great solution does exist.

It’s a Breeze

We can equip your new screened porch with windows that double as screened or as closable vinyl windows. Eze Breeze is a 4-track window system that has both a screen and a clear vinyl window component.

These crystal clear windows offer the ability to open at 25%, 50% or a full 75% from either the top or bottom of its full length frame. Constructed of a modern, impact-resistant vinyl, these panes can withstand being stretched nearly 12 inches without losing their shape integrity. This makes these windows perfect for outdoor rooms, which may encounter more than the usual share of bocce or croquet balls, not to mention Rover who may run up to the window a little too enthusiastically. These quality windows, which we can install onto your existing porch, magically transform the space into a 3-season room. We can either add Eze-Breeze windows to your new porch or retrofit many porch windows for an Eze-Breeze window system. Although it feels long, pollen season comes and goes before too long. You may have to keep the vinyl windows closed during pollen season or just keep a portion of your screens open during that time. Then, slide the windows open to experience the full breeze and smell of fresh air.

If you have a porch in need of a little more protection than screens provide, this may be the perfect solution. The additional seasonal benefit comes in the fall and very early spring when the clear vinyl windows provide just enough temperature protection to allow you to enjoy more time outside as the cold is settling in for the winter or hasn’t yet let up leading up to spring.

Each window is custom made to fit your particular porch’s measurements and, in many cases, can be installed in as little as three weeks. Contact Archadeck of Central Georgia to learn how we can transform your everyday backyard area into something beyond the usual, something extraordinary. We can take the potential your outdoor living area already has and improve upon it, or even build your dream backyard starting from scratch.

Playing with Fire Safely on Your Warner Robins Central GA Deck or Patio

March 20, 2015 admin

As the weather moves from winter to spring, we are anxiously awaiting spending time on our decks and patios. Although it’s hot as blazes during the summer here in Central GA, fire features continue to be tremendously popular. We actually receive requests for fire features year round, probably because they’re not just about fire. What’s one of the quintessential memories of childhood? How about the memory of roasting marshmallows over an open flame on a hot summer’s night. Fire pits have many uses, only one of which is heat.

As builders of custom fire features, we are often asked, “Can we safely have a fire pit as a part of our deck or patio?” The answer is, “Yes! Absolutely!” There are; however, some safety considerations to bear in mind.

Do you want a fire pit that is permanent or removable?

All fire elements come in a wide range of styles and options. How you plan on using them is key. On one side of the outdoor fire spectrum, you have pre-fab kits, both wood burning and gas, that can either be permanent or removable. Opposite pre-fab are custom built fire structures that can be tailored to meet your family’s specific needs. If you are not going to use your fire feature very often, or if you are only planning on being in your home for a short time before you relocate, then it would probably be wise to simply purchase a movable fire pit from one of your local big-box stores and install it yourself. However, if you love a natural fire, find the beauty of flame alluring year round, and can see enjoying it as a fun activity for many seasons, then considering a more permanent, custom fire structure is certainly worth investigating.

Additional options to consider are size, shape, and the fire’s fuel. Traditionally, wood burning fire pits are either square, round or rectangle in shape. For a more modern take on outdoor fire pits, natural gas structures can be constructed into any configuration, including curves and non-traditional widths. Natural gas fire elements can also be incorporated as an outdoor lighting element for year round entertainment. As such, they can incorporate a variety of fillers, from standard lava rocks to exotic glass beads and “gemstones” which come in a range of colors and styles.

Decking Choices and Fire

Regardless of whether you decide to use a permanent or removable fire pit, your decking choices also have to be considered with your installation, not only for safety, but also for the care and maintenance of your deck or patio. Fire pits do not come with screens and if they are wood burning, can “spit” hot embers. So, you will always want to supervise a live fire, especially one with wood, sticks, leaves, and other organic timber. If you have a deck built with low-maintenance composite timbers, such as TimberTech® or Fiberon, you will need to use extra care to ensure that burning coals do not escape, because they will immediately begin to burn and mar the surface, which is very costly and sometimes impossible to easily replace. A well-qualified builder will plan for the use of stone or other hardscape elements into the design and surround of your fire pit, so that this is not an issue. Stone decks and patios are regarded as spark resistant. Remember, with all fire: before you leave, make certain that the fire is out!

Fire Pits vs Outdoor Fireplaces

For several years, we have continued to see in Central GA a rise in requests for outdoor fireplaces. Whether you choose a fire pit or a fireplace is completely up to your budget and needs. For cost-savings, most homeowners choose ventless fireplaces. There are many factors to consider with outdoor fireplaces, including the materials used and proximity to your home. Generally, outdoor fireplaces are at the top-of-the-line in materials and cost when it comes to adding a fire feature to your home.

Whatever your choice, you can see that playing with fire safely on your Warner Robins Central GA deck or patio is easy to do. Contact Archadeck of Central Georgia to learn how we can take your everyday backyard area into something beyond the usual, something extraordinary. We can take the potential your outdoor living area already has and improve upon it, or even build your dream backyard starting from scratch.

AZEK, Composite deck builder

A note of caution when working with composite decking: Don’t try this at home

February 24, 2015 admin

: Fiberon ProTect deck in Warner Robins

At Archadeck of Central GA, we build with an array of low-maintenance building materials. In decking, these include decking boards by Trex, Fiberon and TimberTech. If you are thinking about adding a composite or synthetic (low maintenance) deck to your home, it’s wise to contract with a professional deck builder that’s experienced in working with these materials. There are a couple key reasons why you want a contractor who has specific experience working with these materials.

Mistakes can be very costly

Composite and synthetic decking boards cost 3-4 times as much as pressure-treated wood decking boards. You essentially can’t afford a mistake. This could quickly run into a $1,000 mistake or more.

: AZEK Deck with seating area

Experienced contractors are familiar with ways to work with costly materials in a way that mitigates any unnecessary expense. For example, our design recommendation takes into account the standard length of the boards and ensuring that a non-standard configuration doesn’t leave enough waste to make the materials much more expensive than they need to be.

Composite decking expands and contracts differently than does pressure-treated wood. For example, depending on the board, composite decking can expand up to 1/4″ lengthwise and compensation is necessary for this fact. In the event that the design calls for decks abutting each other, this consideration requires accommodation for the 1/2″ expansion.

Preserve your warranty

Red tape. The fear when consulting any warranty paperwork is whether we’ve done something that may make the warranty void. With composite decking, this is certainly the case. For example, because of the weight of composite decking, the deck joists must be set at 12″ on center. A configuration for a wood deck does not require joists to be that close. While there is a cost in adding more joists, this cost is nothing compared to the expense if your decking had problems and the required substructure, for warranty consideration, was not met.

If you’re thinking about adding a composite deck to your Macon and Warner Robins area Central GA home, give us a call for a free consultation. We look forward to your call!

Take a look at a recent deck we built in Warner Robins. This deck uses TimberTech decking boards for the deck and also used for the rail caps. With composite decking, you have to order different boards for flooring, rail caps, and stairs. An experienced composite deck builder will know to order and use the correct materials. With this Warner Robins deck, we used diagonal decking for visual appeal. The contrasting black metal pickets add even more visual appeal. Although not seen in this picture, the deck includes a gate so the owners can decide whether to keep the dogs on or off the deck.

Porches

If you want it, then you have to put a roof on it

February 8, 2015 admin

We suspect that only few of our readers will be familiar with Beyonce but if you’ve heard one of her songs, a particular repeating lyric comes to mind. Beyonce’s song says “if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it”. These homeowners had previously wanted and still wanted an attached open porch for their backyard entertaining area. Not only did the previous home owner not find a builder who could put a roof on it, neither did any contractors the new homeowners contacted for round 2. The homeowners wanted a large open porch with the porch roof attached to the house. This would allow them to walk out from the house under cover of the roof. It also provided more space for them to enjoy a light rain while under the cover of the roof.

Sometimes, the architecture of the back of the home makes it very difficult to figure out how to attach a roof. Many custom homes here in Macon and throughout the Central GA area have a number of different architectural reliefs as this home has. As you can see in the picture, multiple roof lines and a chimney adorned the back facade of this home making it a challenge but certainly not an insurmountable one.

An important thing to remember is if one contractor tells you it’s not possible, there is a better contractor out there that will not only identify the solution but be able to build it with ease and experience. You can see from the photo to the left that the roof connection was anything but square. The roof had to wrap around the chimney and work around two additional roof lines. The entire roof also had to be low enough that it did not impede on the upper level windows.

: before

In their first go round with this space, the previous builder was not able to figure out this sticky roof connection so he suggested and built a gazebo-style roof that did not connect to the home. The first go round also included 2 deck areas. The homeowners liked having multiple connected outdoor living areas. When creating a space with multiple areas, it’s important to think about how you are going to use each space. Will you use that particular space for eating and the other space for soaking up some sun? Based on how they were going to use the space, we enlarged the covered patio space and made one of the deck areas smaller.

An outdoor living space is all about how you want to live outside your home. A great custom space fits your needs and wants.

For the 2 deck areas, the family chose TimberTech Pacific Walnut decking. The low maintenance decking material was perfect for the deck areas. Low-maintenance decking stands up to sun’s penetrating rays. It also stands up to staining and fading. Under the porch area did not require low-maintenance flooring so they used pressure-treated tongue-and-groove flooring.

Another important thing to think about when deciding on your perfect outdoor living space is future growth and additions. This family was eyeing the addition of a swimming pool in the future. As you can see, we used low wide steps leading from the left deck out to the yard. This makes for an easy transition to any future spaces they add to the rest of the backyard.

If you are considering creating a great new outdoor living space for your Macon/Warner Robins area back yard, or if you want to give a fresh new look to your existing backyard space, give us a call for a free consultation. We will help you identify the best structures and materials to create the perfect outdoor living space just for you.
