At Archadeck of Central Georgia, we often see decks, whose lifespans are over by years.  We understand that building a new deck to replace the old one might not be at the top of your home improvement list, but when it comes to a pergola that is damaging your home, it becomes top priority!

These Warner Robbins homeowners’ wood deck was approximately 15 to 20 years old – not only beyond its lifespan, but poorly constructed from the start.  While we typically recommend homes with concrete slabs have a patio or hardscape outdoor living space, these homeowners really wished for a new deck.  Archadeck of Central Georgia was pleased to give them one.

We are your trusted Warner Robins GA deck builder

We built the new wood deck frame atop the exact footprint of the former deck, but we gave it one very important upgrade with TimberTech Terrain composite decking in Brown Oak.  The new composite deck will give these homeowners many years of low-maintenance use.  The deck railing is constructed of pressure treated wood with a TimberTech top rail cap.  We replaced the older, narrower steps with wider ones, using three decking boards, rather than two.

Replacing the little pergola that couldn’t

Unfortunately for these Warner Robins homeowners, the existing wood pergola was attached to home’s fascia, minus flashing or any sort of water diversion.  Over the years, excessive water exposure rotted home’s soffit.  Archadeck of Central Georgia not only rid their home of the damaging structure, but we repaired the soffit and replaced the fascia.  When we built their new pressure treated wood pergola, we made it higher, allowing flashing to be installed atop the pergola beam and water to run over and off the beam.  To aid this gutter-less home further, we installed two water diverters above the door, so the water will run off at an angle.
