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.
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.
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.
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.
