It’s not every day a new deck fits so well it looks like it’s always been part of the home. In fact, far more common is the opposite: a deck that looks like it was added to a house 15 years after it was built, making for an awkward mish-mash of architectural styles.
But these homeowners in southwest Fort Wayne wanted to avoid the curse of a deck that looked like it was added thoughtlessly years later. So they called Archadeck.
This client’s vision was clear: a deck that felt clean and modern, but warm enough to complement the red-brown tones of their brick exterior. They didn’t want anything flashy—just something that elevated their backyard and blended naturally into the home’s structure.
That’s why trusted Fort Wayne deck builder, Archadeck, took on the challenge with a clear focus on detail, symmetry, and lasting quality.
What Makes a Fort Wayne Deck Contractor Stand Out?
Plenty of contractors can install a deck. But not every Fort Wayne deck contractor takes the time to work with the existing architecture as closely as we did here.
To start off this build right, we aligned the new structure precisely with the corners and edges of the brickwork, avoiding unseemly offsets and creating seamless transitions from the interior of the home to the exterior space. This made the deck feel like a true extension of the home, rather than an add-on that we and the homeowners secretly knew it to be.
We also chose:
- AZEK Landmark decking in French White Oak – a neutral, warm tone that mimics the look of hardwood with the durability of PVC.
- Westbury black aluminum railing with 4" posts – clean, sturdy, and modern, providing both safety and contrast.
The result was a backyard space that’s as polished as it is practical—and ready for years of low-maintenance use.
This is just one example of what can be done. If you want to see more examples of our decks, browse our recent builds for ideas and inspiration.
What Fort Wayne Deck Companies Should Offer (But Often Don’t)
You have choices when it comes to Fort Wayne deck companies—but not all builders are built the same.
A lot of companies will quote fast and build fast. What they leave out are the conversations that lead to a better outcome: how you’ll use the space, what details matter most, and how to make the deck feel like a natural extension of your home.
This recent project in southwest Fort Wayne is a perfect example. We worked closely with the homeowner to ensure the new deck matched the angles of the existing brick structure—right down to the last board. That level of care doesn’t happen by accident.
