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.
