The Importance of Using a Professional Outdoor Living Space Contractor

The Archadeck Difference

What differentiates Archadeck of Columbus from the others?

Keep these qualities in mind as you search for someone to design and build your outdoor living structure(s):

• Professionalism is about more than appearances. It encompasses integrity and good judgment. A professional contractor has a thorough knowledge of building codes, obtains permits when needed, and carries liability insurance and workers comp insurance. A professional also recognizes the importance of clear communication and stellar customer service.

• Experience includes the number of years a contractor has been building decks and porches, and it’s about more than that, too. It’s about excellent project management skills developed over time and the ability to hire accomplished tradesmen.
• Customization is a key component of every Archadeck project. We don’t pull your paver patio design off the shelf, we create one that’s unique, designed specifically to meet your needs and to match your home. It will feel more like a collaboration because we involve you in the design phase. From the size and shape of your project to the colors and textures of the materials, we customize everything based on your preferences.
