High-Quality Deck Materials
At Archadeck, we understand that a new deck is a part of your home, meaning it requires high-quality, long-lasting materials.
Wood Decks
Our standard wood decking is pressure-treated pine, providing clients with a treated lumber that lasts in the Chicagoland climate. Although wood decking requires maintenance, it's a classic option for homeowners seeking a natural and economical deck. We also offer cedar as an option, which is comparable in price to composite.
Composite Decks
As a platinum partner of TimberTech by AZEK, we offer our clients the best low-maintenance decking in the industry. Our clients choose Composite decking because it doesn't require yearly maintenance, doesn't need to be stained, sanded, or sealed, and lasts a lifetime. Ask your design consultant about our exclusive TT labor warranty.
