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This deck was originally made of wood only.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!

TimberTech Pro Reserve Decking in the color Antique Leather

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!

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

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.

macon decks builder

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.

macon decks

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!

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

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.
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!

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.
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.

A New Wood Deck for a Vintage 1920’s Home in Macon, GA

When it comes to meeting special requirements for an outdoor living project, Archadeck of Central Georgia will partner with you to bring your new space through completion. 

We worked with this Macon family to achieve very specific outdoor living requirements.  Before this project began, we facilitated acquiring a variance from planning and zoning, ensuring this family would be able to enjoy their backyard space as they wanted to.

Macon GA deck contractor

This family in the Ridge Avenue area conveyed not only a desire to have a more usable space out back, but their project required some special consideration, as well.  With children, a low-to-grade wood deck with surrounding steps was an obvious choice.  This option also allowed Archadeck of Central Georgia to keep this cozy backyard’s living space lower so that a view of the homes beyond the privacy fence was obstructed.  This will do the same from beyond the confines of the fence, maintaining privacy while using the deck.  Not only will the steps from the deck accommodate lots of playtime and entertaining foot traffic, but they also create extra seating and lend themselves to seasonal décor, like potted plants.

A deck with ample area in a small space is possible with proper design considerations.

If you think your cozy backyard area will not accommodate a deck to fill all your needs, talk with Archadeck of Central Georgia.  We were able to build an impressive deck expanse for these Macon homeowners, with enough space for grilling, dining, and relaxing.

Macon GA deck builder

Since the home has a 4-foot drop-off from the back door to the ground, we built a new pressure-treated wood step.  As well, we built a step for the second back door, which is no longer a usable door.  This provides a cohesive aesthetic, and even additional play space or seating.  The low-to-grade deck design only required railing on one corner, keeping the deck expanse feeling open and un-cramped.

Vintage homes require newfangled solutions.

As these homeowners live in a 1920’s-era home, there are no gutters.  We built a special feature on their deck, by way of the planter box, which will be filled with plants and gravel to create a drain tile, where rainwater will come from the house, into the planter, and through to the yard underneath.  These homeowners innovated the same draining system in their yard, as well.  A testament to the adage, “Necessity is the mother of invention.”

Make 2019 The Year to Improve Your Macon or Warner Robins Backyard!

Out of all the questions homeowners ask us in regards to planning and building an anticipated outdoor living space addition, the most frequently asked is “WHEN is the best time to build?” Many factors can fall into play when answering this question, but in essence, if you are ready to pursue your addition then there is no time like the present to get the ball rolling!

Macon-GA-Screened-Porch

With a New Year in full swing — there is no time like the present!

While there is never really a wrong time to begin your outdoor living space project since we build structures year-round,  there are advantages to beginning your process early in the year, and while cooler weather is in the air!

screen porch-outdoor fireplace-macon Ga lr

Advantage — A good reason to begin your outdoor structure in the late fall and winter months is there may be less wait time to begin construction. Gaining approval through HOA’s and permitting will take less time because there is less backlog early in the season and this can often make the wait-time minimal in most cases. Making the decision to build now will ensure being able to enjoy the benefits of your new structure sooner and in plenty of time for the arrival of the outdoor living season in the months ahead. Keep in mind, when dealing with a quality builder wait times can be longer, especially during the warmer months. Moving ahead early in the year on your project can greatly reduce those wait times.

rustic-shed-roof-screen porch-Macon-GA

Advantage — If you are considering a structure built from wood, a cooler month project timeline will provide many benefits. Wood requires a time period of acclimation and curing. The laws of expansion and contraction always apply when it comes to working with wood. All wood is hygroscopic, meaning that when exposed to air, it will release or pick up moisture until it is level with the humidity and temperature of the air. Humid conditions, such as those in our humid Georgia summers, will cause more rapid expansion and contraction of wood that is not yet sealed for protection against the elements.

Redeck-Macon-Deck-Pressure Treated

A structure built from wood needs to cure for a period of time before the sealer will properly adhere to the wood and promote beneficial protection qualities. By choosing to build during the least humid times of the year, your new wooden deck, porch or other outdoor structure will have ample time to cure in order to properly accept the sealer you choose.

Advantage — Your lawn and landscape will incur less stress by choosing to build during the cooler months of the year — this is because most turf grasses, trees and shrubs are in their dormant period during the winter. During dormancy, these plantings are less likely to experience permanent damage from having to be trimmed or pruned to accommodate the addition of a backyard space. Aside from the landscape, construction during the winter will cause less of an interruption to your family’s day-to-day activities and lifestyle as the kids are in school and most people use their yards less during these months. This means the noises and materials will be less of an annoyance than they would be when you are using the yard a lot during the warmer months.

Milledgeville GA Deck Builder

Advantage — Last but not least, planning a new outdoor living space is a great way to curb the post-holiday blues. With a New Year underway, one way to curb the post-holiday blues is to look beyond the winter doldrums to warmer months ahead.  With this in mind, many Central Georgia homeowners may begin planning for the outdoor living season. These plans may involve a new addition to your landscape or outdoor living space.  Whether your aspirations include adding a new outdoor structure, or improving or adding to an existing structure,  winter is a good time to get the ball rolling before spring arrives.

Archadeck of Central GA Provides Solution for Afternoon Sun with Macon, GA, Deck and Screened Porch Combination

If your deck is made of wood and faces west, it takes a beating. The sun’s UV rays break down wood fibers. You won’t be surprised, then, to learn that when these homeowners called Macon deck builder Archadeck of Central GA, they wanted to replace their wood deck with composite materials.

Lake Tobesofkee GA Deck and Porch Builders

This home near Macon’s Lake Tobesofkee is in a great location but that afternoon sun is rough. The homeowners’ den receives the afternoon sun, too, and it can get mighty hot in there.

Macon screened porch builder Archadeck of Central GA was called in to replace the deteriorating deck and to add a screened porch to this Macon, GA, home.

Bigger Deck, Resilient Materials

The key to designing a deck that won’t deteriorate under intense sunlight is using composite decking materials. They don’t break down when exposed to the sun’s UV rays the way wood does. We replaced the original deck with a new one in the same area but designed it to be a bit larger. The homeowner chose Deckorators low-maintenance composite decking boards in the prairie color. For the deck railing, we used pressure-treated wood for cost savings and capped it with Deckorators composite rail cap. Many homeowners don’t realize we can mix composite decking with pressure-treated wood for railings, but we can.

Screened Porch Design Challenge

Have you ever designed a porch adjoining a room that has cathedral ceilings and trapezoid windows? It’s likely you haven’t because not many people have. Needless to say, we had to determine where the new porch roof would meet the existing home. Sometimes when you’re working in the area of a home’s windows, you can come in with the porch roof below them (for example, below second-story windows). But with trapezoid windows high up in a room with a cathedral ceiling, well … you end up extending the home’s roofline over the porch addition.

Lake Tobesofkee GA Deck and Porch Builders

Because we extended the roofline, the screened-in porch has a high ceiling, too. The porch’s ceiling fan is lowered from the ceiling with a 6-foot rod.

Don’t forget, the new construction will also receive the afternoon sun because the outdoor living area – a combination deck and screened porch – is facing west. For that reason, we used Solar Screen mesh for the screens with a 90% grade. That means these heavy-duty screens will block up to 90% of the UV rays, the heat and the glare from direct sunlight that would otherwise heat up the porch. While you can still see out through these screens, they are so effective they will prevent fading of carpets and fabric such as upholstery on the screened porch.

Lake Tobesofkee GA Deck and Porch Builders

For the porch floor the homeowner chose pressure-treated wood. With such effective screening, the porch floor will not be assaulted by the sun!

Interior Room Also Benefits from 90% Solar Screen

The sunlight that used to stream directly into the home’s den is now filtered by the 90% Solar Screen used on the screened porch. The good news is the den will now stay a lot cooler – or at least use less energy to cool. While the room is going to be darker now, the homeowners feel the reduction in heat is a good tradeoff.

Lake Tobesofkee GA Deck and Porch Builders

In the course of a project sometimes we extend the scope of the job if the homeowners request additional work. In this case we also replaced the home’s gutters while we were already working along the roofline, and we saved the homeowners a little money doing it that way.

And the Dog is Not Forgotten

The dog of the house is going to love this screened porch but will still want to get out and run around. The dog’s favorite part of the combination screened porch and deck? A screen door with a doggie door. Woof!

New Screen Porch by Archadeck of Central GA Makes It Home, Sweet Home For Aultman Pines Homeowners

This is the story of a home we were pleased to make “feel like home.” Our clients in the Aultman Pines neighborhood south of Macon, GA, own this home and had been renting it out for some time. When they decided to move into the home themselves, instead of renting it, they knew the house needed renovations, including a revamp of the outdoor living space. However, we advised the homeowners to first replace the Masonite siding and replace it with vinyl siding because the Masonite had failed and the house was starting to rot. This delayed the construction of the porch for months, but it was the right call for the homeowner.

Back of home before we began the project:

With the siding handled, they were able to proceed with a much-needed upgrade to their outdoor living space. The home had a backyard wooden deck that needed to be replaced, and these clients had a better idea. They felt they’d get more use out of a screened porch than a deck. At Archadeck of Central Georgia, our philosophy is that whatever outdoor structure you’re apt to use the most, that’s the one you should build. While a deck is right for some people, if you’re a screened porch family then you should have a screened porch.

We removed the old wood deck and built a screened porch in its place. The homeowners wanted a place for their grill, so we included a small grill deck off the porch. The project is built with the addition of a future hot tub in mind as well because the homeowners eventually want to add one next to the screened porch.”

Project after Archadeck of Central GA completed:

For materials, the homeowners selected pressure-treated wood for the inside of the screened porch and low-maintenance composite decking for the grill deck outside. Their decision was driven by price, with wood being more economical than composite decking.  Because the interior of the screened porch is protected from the weather, wood used inside the porch will last longer — and look great longer — than it would outside on a deck subjected to sun and rain. For the grill deck they selected the Ipe color composite decking boards from Fiberon’s Horizons line. They also used the Fiberon Ipe rail cap over the grill deck’s wooden railings. Finally, they chose a bronze screen door and bronze screens for the screened porch.

As early as the design phase, this project took an interesting turn because the home had a window looking out from the kitchen onto the original deck. Once a screened porch was sketched in to replace the deck, suddenly we had a window and its roof inside the porch. We were able to remedy this by making the porch walls a foot taller than usual (about 9′ rather than 8′) and using a knee wall to cover the roof of the window. Never let it be said that Macon porch and deck builder Archadeck of Central GA doesn’t meet a challenge head-on!

Transforming A Macon Deck With The Seeds Of Change In Mind

When these Macon, GA, homeowners contacted Archadeck of Central GA about refurbishing their backyard deck, they had a pretty good idea of what they had in mind.

Macon Deck extension with integrated tree

With an existing small deck that only extended about 6 ‘ off the rear of their home, they realized they needed a more spacious deck in order to live the outdoor lifestyle they really wanted.  Such is the case with many Macon and Warner-Robins residents;  a larger deck means more opportunities for outdoor living, more space to entertain, more room to grill, etc.

Here at Archadeck of Central GA, we perform many new deck, redecking and deck extension projects every year — however, this particular project entailed more than the typical deck extension.

This Macon deck included an integrated tree in its original design.  The clients did not want to eliminate the tree, so we had to incorporate it into the extension project.  Part of this meant we had to frame the new deck with future growth of the tree in mind.

Macon Deck extension with integrated tree

Archadeck of Central GA extended the deck using pressure-treated wax-injected wooden decking which comes presealed giving the deck a longer period between installation to the first sealing.  We also added beautiful Fortress metal balusters to compliment the new spacious deck design.  The homeowner’s opted to have no entry or stairway from the backyard to the deck as a safety feature. This type of secure deck design is becoming more popular in the local area.

Along with designing the deck with the future growth of the integrated tree in mind, we also structured it in preparation for a future screened porch. We added screen below the decking so it would be ready if and when the homeowners decided to add a roof –another way we prepared the space for the seeds of change.

In addition to the deck upgrades and renovations, our team also ensure the natural gas lines were run and secured for the client’s gas grill and we moved their Egg smoker from the yard to the deck for convenience.

Planning a New Outdoor Living Space is A Great Way to Curb The Post Holiday Blues

Planning a New Outdoor Living Space is A Great Way to Curb The Post Holiday BluesThe holiday season is filled with excitement and fun. It is a time when families and friends come together to celebrate and festive decorations change our homes and landscapes.  The days and weeks leading up to the big day are often just as exciting as the day itself.  Once the holiday is over, however, the lack of excitement can leave you feeling down.

As the New Year quickly approaches, one way to curb the post-holiday blues is to look beyond the winter doldrums to warmer months ahead.  With this in mind, many Central Georgia homeowners may begin planning for the outdoor living season. These plans may involve a new addition to your landscape or outdoor living space.  Whether your aspirations include adding a new outdoor structure, or improving or adding to an existing structure,  winter is a good time to get the ball rolling before spring arrives.

Macon Open Porch Barrington Hall lr

Because of our mild Georgia climate, construction can begin as soon as your design is finalized and the contract is signed. In fact, the sooner we can start building, the more enjoyment you will get from your new outdoor living space. Once spring has arrived, the demand will increase and building timelines will become longer, this is why we recommend starting the design and building process with us as soon as possible. Using these winter months perfecting the design of your new space, ordering materials, and filing for permits is a perfect use of time.

Macon GA-sceen porch-metal Balusters

In fact, there are quite a few reasons why winter is the best time to begin a new Macon or Warner Robins-area outdoor living space  project:

  • Our custom deck, porch and outdoor room designs require close collaboration with you. This process can take a few rounds of going back and forth, making adjustments and getting the project just right.

  • Securing building permits can take a long time as we are at the mercy of the building department. Starting this process now, means you don’t have to let the good spring weather pass you by while we are waiting for building permits to come in.

  • At Archadeck of Central GA, our spring and summer construction schedule fills fast. In fact, spring is our busiest time of year. If you start the process now, you beat the rush and are on the schedule for construction, or your project may even be completed,  when others are just starting their process.

Despite the fact that all the pomp and circumstance has ended, all the presents have been opened and loved ones have headed home,  Archadeck of Central GA can ensure the weeks ahead are overflowing with excitement and anticipation.
