Archadeck Revisits Customers in Macon’s Stone Edge Subdivision

What does comprehensive service look like to you? At Archadeck of Central Georgia, we are deeply invested in the long-lasting happiness of our neighbors, and that’s why we often have repeat customers! This was exactly what happened when this customer approached us about redecking a deck we built for them back in the ’90s. Unfortunately, outdoor structures won’t last forever. Indeed, given long enough, even stone will degrade over time. However, age doesn’t necessarily spell the end for your deck. Archadeck is an industry expert in assessing older outdoor living structures and proceeding with necessary repairs and replacements. For example, deck surfaces will often degrade more quickly than their support structure, which means an outright deck replacement might not be necessary! Such a scenario was a reality for this customer. Let’s dig into the exciting refurbishment we delivered to them.

Macon GA Redecking

What does the Macon GA redecking process look like?

Aging, but well built, decks have been known to sustain their structural integrity despite the appearance of their flooring. Archadeck, a national expert in decking, has a long track record of installing additions with robust structural integrity, as this customer can attest to. So, what is redecking? This process involves removing the boards of your old deck, installing new decking, and making other adjustments if necessary. This process is more economical than installing a brand new deck, and modern materials ensure a dramatic increase in your deck’s longevity.

This deck was originally made of wood only. Wood was still an option for this Archadeck of Central GA return customer, but modern materials like TimberTech, a composite imitation wood, are far better at resisting damage from the elements, and they also maintain their appearance for substantially longer. As a replacement for their deck surface, this customer decided to go with TimberTech Pro Reserve Decking in the color Antique Leather. Even if you look closely, it’s incredibly hard to tell that this innovative material isn’t real wood!

In combination with the TimberTech boards used for the deck’s flooring, we used pressure-treated wood to construct much of the stairs and replacement railing found on this project. This pairing of synthetic and genuine wood creates a gorgeous mesh of colors and further enhances the deck’s aesthetics. To improve the longevity of the rails, we added a composite cap to help defend the underlying wood from water and elemental exposure.

Your Macon GA deck builder cares about the fine details, that’s why we also resurfaced this customer’s small potting shelf off to the right of their deck. We are dedicated to ensuring you have the best outdoor living experience possible, and it’s our excellent service that keeps our customers coming back for more – even 20 years later!

A Redeck in Milledgeville, GA, That Never Goes Out Of Style!

If you visit our website you are likely impressed by the amount of brand new large-scale spaces we build.   Many homeowners thinking of renovating an existing space rule out the potential to bring their vision to life when they don’t have a large scale project in mind.

Milledgeville GA Redecking Project.

Here at Archadeck of Central GA, we realize that redecking projects have every opportunity to add as much enjoyment and benefit as new (from scratch) builds do.  Thus, is the case with our recent redecking project in Milledgeville, GA.

We can redeck using wood, hardwoods or composite materials. Many of our clients choose composites for their redecking projects because they have grown tired of routine deck maintenance. Synthetic materials can transform your Macon or Warner Robins deck from a chore that needs tackling to a place to relax.

When we inspected the existing wooden deck to see if it was a candidate for redecking, the first thing that was evident was the deck’s age — it was really old, wiggly and close to becoming a safety hazard.  Archadeck of Central GA deemed the deck structurally sound enough based the condition of the joists.

Before:

First, we needed to re-bolt the deck to the home. We also notice when the deck was originally installed with 4 x 4 posts, which was incorrect and not up-to-current code. We installed new beams and a new edge band.

Once the structural improvements were set in place we redecked with low-maintenance Timbertech composite decking in Antique Palm® for the decking floor, on the custom inset benches, and on the rail cap.  We accented the rich hue of the decking with Fortress steel powder-coated railings.

The nifty benches were constructed without backs in order to retain the view. The benches are also moveable so the homeowners can change the look of the deck any time they wish.
