Types of Decks We Build

Wood Deck Builder

Wood decks are a timeless and classic choice for homeowners. They offer a durable, traditional, and budget-friendly decking solution, particularly pressure-treated pine, which we recommend. This material is economical and holds up well against Charlotte's hot summers. If you're seeking a lower upfront cost or don't plan on staying in your current residence long-term, it's an excellent option. However, it's important to note that wood requires annual maintenance, including staining, sanding, and sealing.

Composite Deck Builder

As a composite deck builder, we understand the importance of innovative alternatives to traditional lumber. As an authorized TimberTech by AZEK dealer in Charlotte, we appreciate TimberTech for its superior aesthetics and long-term performance despite a higher initial cost.  It's engineered with realistic grain and fade-resistant colors, offering lasting beauty. They resist warping, splintering, and rot, maintaining integrity for decades. This durability translates to minimal maintenance but eliminates annual sanding, staining, and sealing required for wood. The higher upfront investment is worthwhile for a beautiful, resilient, low-upkeep outdoor space.

Deck Installation vs. Deck Construction

In Charlotte, the choice between deck installation and deck construction often comes down to the project complexity. 

• Deck installation typically refers to the physical assembly of the structure, focusing on the precision of premium materials like TimberTech and the technical skill required to fit them perfectly. 
• Deck construction encompasses the entire professional design-build journey, including structural engineering, navigating local building codes, and managing the permitting process essential for North Carolina homes. 

Whether you are looking for a straightforward install or a fully engineered custom build, Archadeck of Charlotte has been the local expert in both since 1988.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Planning & Permitting

Q: Do you handle the necessary building permits for my Charlotte-area project? 

A: Yes, absolutely. As a professional builder, Archadeck of Charlotte manages the entire permitting process, including submitting detailed plans and securing any necessary permits. We ensure your project is built to meet or exceed all local zoning and building codes.

Q: How long does the design and construction process typically take?

A: The total timeline varies significantly based on project complexity (e.g., a simple deck vs. a complex sunroom) and local permit times. Generally, the design and contract phase takes 2 to 4 weeks, and the actual construction typically ranges from 3 to 8 weeks after permits are secured. We will provide a detailed timeline during your design consultation.

Materials & Maintenance

Q: Should I choose composite decking or natural wood for my new deck? 

A: This depends on your budget and maintenance preference. Composite decking (like TimberTech) is a popular choice in Charlotte due to its low-maintenance, fade-resistant, and splinter-free nature. Natural wood (like cedar or treated pine) offers a classic look but requires regular staining and maintenance. We design with both materials and can discuss the long-term value of each.

Warranties & Guarantees

Q: What kind of warranty do you offer on your custom structures?

A: We provide one of the strongest written warranties in the outdoor building industry. Your investment is protected by a structural warranty and a surface warranty, giving you peace of mind that your new deck, porch, or sunroom is protected for years to come. Specific warranty details are provided in your contract documentation.

Q: Is Archadeck of Charlotte licensed and insured? 

A: Yes. We are fully licensed, insured, and bonded to operate as a general contractor in the entire Charlotte metropolitan area. We carry all necessary liability and workers' compensation insurance to protect both our team and your property throughout the project.
