So let’s talk about decks – one of America’s favorite places to enjoy leisure time outdoors while increasing the functional footprint of your home.

The interesting thing about decks it that they can become a place of reflective solitude or a gathering place for year-round entertaining. Add an outdoor kitchen and a custom fire feature, and its functionality and monetary value increase exponentially.

Whether built from real wood lumber or low maintenance deck materials from TimberTech and AZEK, a deck can evolve to become the most often used area of your home. Here’s how.

Meet The Decatur Deck That Became A Screened Porch

If you think of a deck as a structural gateway to outdoor living variety and bliss, understand that its future functionality has no limit.

With a roof overhead – free standing or attached to the roofline of your home – we can easily install screened panels to block out outdoor elements that can put a damper on things, like flying bugs, stinging insects, and backyard debris that may kick up when stronger winds prevail.

With Archadeck, anything you desire is possible to enhance your outdoor living lifestyle and comfort. You will soon have it made in the shade once we agree to move forward.

What About Building Materials For My Deck And Screened Porch? What Are The Best Sellers In Decatur?

We are fortunate here in Decatur to have the best of all possible worlds when it comes to outdoor living structures. It all comes down to personal preferences.

For starters, if you’re on a budget, using pressure-treated pine lumber may be a wise choice, as it is often more affordable than higher priced low maintenance alternatives. But with that preference for affordability comes some future responsibility – namely cleaning and upkeep.

Wood decks typically need good care to ensure their good looks and longevity. A thorough annual cleaning and periodic deck safety inspections are a good place to start.

Even though the lumber of pressure-treated pine is protected to guard against the elements, over time the quality of a wood deck or porch may become compromised and require more intense cleaning, sanding, and staining.

For serious outdoor living lovers who simply want to kick back, relax, and enjoy their space, considering low maintenance deck and porch materials may be a better choice for the long run.

Sustainable decking materials from TimberTech composite products are virtually indestructible. Due to their unique manufacturing using recycled wood fibers blended with plastic particle, all edges and ends are capped so nothing can harm them. Their warranties and guarantees are legendary.

Another great low maintenance, virtually carefree decking alterative choice is AZEK PVC decking. With no wood fiber in its mix, it consists solely of synthetic PVC material. And like its sister brand, TimberTech, there are no ends or seams exposed to outdoor elements.

Will My Decatur Deck Or Porch Look Fake If I Choose To Use Composite Or Synthetic Decking?

Simply put, heck no. Only you will know it’s not wood.

Both low maintenance products look like real wood with intricate grain structures at its surface. And when it comes to color choices, the world is your oyster with more options than you can possibly imagine. Not even wood deck stain comes in such a plethora of hues and color values.

What About Resale Value Of My Outdoor Living Space?

There is more good news here. Financially having Archadeck building Decatur decks, porches and combination outdoor living spaces is not a one and done financial venture.

When you decide to sell your home, your return on investment may be greater than you ever thought it would be.

Here’s proof.

The 2022 Remodeling Magazine Cost vs. Value Report indicates that a homeowner can expect an average return on investment (ROI) of 65% from a new wood deck and 62% from a composite deck.

What About Pergolas And Outdoor Pavilions? Can Archadeck Serving Help Me Out There?

Absolutely. If you can dream it or imagine it, we can design it and build it – to perfection.

If you don’t yet have a pergola, it’s time you considered adding one of these graceful strctures to your deck, patio or outdoor kitchen. Custom pergola builder Archadeck in Decatur is your resource for designing and building your pergola whether your tastes are traditional or more innovative. When it comes to design, aesthetics, and functionality, you’re the boss.

Many of your Decatur neighbors have found that a pergola is a perfect place to hang a ceiling fan and stir up an Indiana breeze when Mother Nature forgets to provide one. They appreciate shade as much as the next person, and they appreciate a breeze even more. In addition to installing a fan in your pergola, you can have a pergola wired for light fixtures to add a romantic flair at night.

The same is true for our pavilions. Constructed to your functional and architectural preferences, our pavilions are custom built just for you – designed to provide shade, decoration and an anchor for your outdoor living space.

How Can I Give My Deck A Refresh As It Is Starting To Looked Aged?

If the home you recently purchased came with a deck that is showing signs of weathered age, wear, and tear, it is possible that all you may need is a redecking update. As long as the foundational structure of that deck is sound and free from compromise or decay, we can easily put “a new face” on it with our redecking expertise.

Again here, you will need to choose between wood and low maintenance decking alternatives. But if you plan on living in your home forever – or for a substantially long time – low maintenance decking may be the way to go.

During your complimentary redecking design consultation we will offer our best thinking on how we believe you should proceed so you have the seasoned benefit of our decades of experience.
