Our client didn’t know that replacing his old deck was about to become a cautionary tale. But it ultimately did, and it became an example of why choosing the right contractor matters.
His Byron property had an aging deck that needed replacement. After getting several quotes, including one from our team, he had to make the decision of which porch contractor to work with, and he initially went with a lower bid from another company.
Six months later, he was calling us back at Archadeck of Central Georgia, not for a quote, but for help. We happily obliged, and this story now has a happy ending. But it took a while to get there, and we’re thankful that we have the opportunity to share our client’s experience.
When Cheap Becomes Costly: The Original Project Goes Wrong
The contractor that our client initially chose seemed promising. After all, the price was right and the timeline didn’t raise any red flags. But what started as replacing a deck with a new screened in porch, quickly took a turn.
Work began but was never completed. The portions that were finished were structurally unsound and subpar. So our client found himself with an unfinished project, money already spent, and a backyard that was worse than when he started.
The Byron Screened in Porch Transformation
When our client contacted Archadeck to salvage his project, our designer Kelby worked with him to create something even better than his original vision. We designed a custom Byron screened in porch that would serve as the ultimate outdoor entertainment space—perfect timing for the upcoming football season.
We started with a foundation of premium #1 Pine pressure-treated wood for all structural components. We wanted to make sure this porch would last for decades.
In terms of style, the black metal pickets on the stair rail system are striking—not to mention safe—and the pressure-treated square lattice added ventilation and visual interest.
But the real showstopper is the solid skirt wall, designed specifically for mounting a TV—making it perfect for game day viewing. Above, architectural shingles protect against weather, while gutters and vinyl closed soffit provide weather resistance. The open rafters of the porch not only add visual appeal but also ensure excellent airflow throughout the space.
The result? A stunning screened in porch that's become the neighborhood's go-to spot for watching college football.
