Archadeck of Akron: Your Local Outdoor Living Experts

Akron has always been a city that knows how to reinvent itself. From its days as the rubber capital of the world to the diverse, resilient community it is today, this is a place where people put down roots and stay. The neighborhoods here—from Highland Square to Ellet to Firestone Park—have character you don't find in newer suburbs. And the homes in those neighborhoods deserve outdoor spaces that match.

Archadeck of Akron designs and builds custom decks, porches, patios, sunrooms, and outdoor living spaces for homeowners throughout the Akron area. We've been doing this work for a long time, so we know how to build structures that last. The weather is a particular challenge here with the lake-effect snow, freeze-thaw cycles, and humid summers. We build spaces with the right materials and right methods to make sure they hold up through all of it.

Whether you're in a Craftsman bungalow in West Akron, a mid-century ranch in Fairlawn, or a newer home out toward the edges of the metro, we'd love to talk about what you have in mind for your outdoor space.

Akron Porch Builder

Archadeck of Akron designs and builds covered porches that fit in with your home's existing architecture. That’s because we pay attention to rooflines, trim details, and proportions so the finished porch looks like it’s been there since day one. We also build screened porches for homeowners who want bug-free outdoor living, and open porches for those who prefer the simplest version of covered space.

As an Akron porch company, we've worked on all kinds of homes in all kinds of neighborhoods. So whether you’re in a Victorian-era home, a post-war ranch, or a new contemporary development, we can help you find what’s going to work for you.

Akron Sunroom Builder

Ask any local, and they’ll tell you: Ohio winters are long. A sunroom gives you a way to enjoy natural light and views of your yard, plus climate control year-round.

Archadeck of Akron builds sunrooms in a range of styles and configurations. We’ve made three-season rooms for homeowners who don't need year-round climate control. And we’ve also made four-season rooms with full HVAC for those who want to use the space in January. If you are considering a sunroom or three-season porch, we will help you think consider what makes the most sense for how you’ll use the room in day-to-day living.

Akron Deck Builder

A lot of the time, outdoor living starts on the deck. A good deck is the simplest way to push your home's footprint into the yard. It’ll give you somewhere to grill, eat, and relax and will make your backyard usable in ways it wasn't before.

Archadeck of Akron builds custom decks in wood and composite materials. We can use pressure-treated lumber for budget-conscious homeowners willing to do regular maintenance. Or we can build with composite decking that costs more upfront but never needs staining, and it won't splinter or rot as the years roll by. We can walk you through the tradeoffs and help you decide what the best decking material is for your project.

As an Akron deck company, we've built everything from simple platform decks to multi-level structures with built-in seating, planters, and lighting. So if you’re looking out the window at an older deck that's seen better days, we can also talk about whether it makes more sense to renovate what you have or start fresh.

Akron Patio and Hardscape Builder

Patios give you outdoor living space at ground level. You’ll go straight from backdoor to yard, which is why you’ll see these a lot of the time on homes with walk-out basements or flat lots, where it often makes more sense than a deck.

Archadeck of Akron builds patios in brick and concrete pavers, natural stone, stamped concrete, and tile. Each material has its own look, maintenance requirements, and price point. But don't worry, we'll help you narrow things down based on what matters most to you.

Patios also serve as the foundation for other features. Once you have the basic space in place, you can add on extras like fire pits for cool evenings and outdoor kitchens for serious entertainers. You can also have seating walls that define spaces and give guests somewhere to sit.

It’s all up to you—we can build as simple or as elaborate as you'd like.

Akron Pergola Builder

Pergolas are great since they not only give you relief from the heat, but they make your whole outdoor space feel more cohesive. So you can both filter the harsh sunlight without feeling like you’re stepping outside into a cave, and have a home that looks great in real estate listings if you ever think about selling.

They’re also flexible. You can always add a pergola cover for extra shade. We can help you figure out what will work for you based on how you live and the angle of the sun on your property.

The Akron Combination Outdoor Living Space

The projects where we can really shine are usually the combo builds. These are the ones where multiple elements work in tandem to create something more functional and more interesting than any single structure could be.

You might desire a screened porch attached to an open deck. Or maybe you’re thinking more along the lines of a deck that steps down to a patio with a fire pit, or perhaps a pergola-covered dining area next to an outdoor kitchen. The possibilities multiply when you start combining elements.

As Akron outdoor living contractors, we design combination spaces where everything flows together. The result is that you’ll be able to enjoy an outdoor environment that works the way you live—complete with different zones for different activities. But it will all feel connected and coherent because it will be designed with care and intention. And because we are a full-service outdoor living contractor, we can build every piece of your project, and you'll only be working with one contractor, which makes the entire process that much easier.
