This Winston Salem deck, patio, and two pergolas are the stuff from which outdoor living dreams are made.

Archadeck of the Piedmont Triad understands the importance when creating multiple spaces, that they work in concert to provide an ideal outdoor living experience. It’s all about a cohesive flow, for aesthetics and function. This Winston Salem backyard showcases our ability to achieve both. This project consists of a composite deck, pergola, dual patios and free-standing garden pergola.

This custom backyard design begins with a low-maintenance, AZEK deck in slate gray. The deck is finished with white AZEK trim and framed by elegant black Fortress iron railings. The deck is protected by a low-maintenance aluminum pergola with fiberglass columns, which is covered by a polycarbonate roof.

The custom composite deck descends onto a stamped concrete patio on either side. This patio serves as versatile outdoor living space that can be used for myriad outdoor living activities – or non-activities.

This one is perfectly placed for private moments, staged with a couple of rocking chairs for relaxing among nature. There is hardly a better seat out of the house, from which the change of seasons can be appreciated.

Archadeck of The Piedmont Triad ponders the question: Build a new deck or re-deck?

Would it be better to build a new deck or redo your existing deck with new decking boards?

Now is the time of year we imagine ourselves outdoors, whether on a new deck or an existing outdoor living space. Springtime is often the time of year we consider home upgrades. After all, it’s the time of year our porches, decks, and patios will be put to the test. Homeowners want an outdoor living space that is packed with functionality and style, but have you considered whether your deck is structurally sound?

Building a New Deck vs. Deck Renovation

Archadeck of The Piedmont Triad takes all your existing deck circumstances into consideration when evaluating whether it is a good candidate for re-decking. We consider the age and structural integrity of your deck before deciding whether a new deck or deck renovation is the better course of action. Other High Point deck builders will meet with a client and automatically suggest new deck construction. Our deck safety inspection offers homeowners a professional inspection during which we will determine whether a new deck is necessary.

What does a deck safety inspection include?

We will check all existing decking boards and scrutinize hardware and connectors, noting their condition. We will evaluate the structural framework of your deck, including posts and joists. Additionally, we will inspect the deck’s attachment to the home, as well as the foundation, footings, railing and deck exits.

Re-decking may be a viable option for you if your decking framework is structurally sound.

During this deck safety inspection, we will discuss necessary updates, as well as your desires. If your deck is in good structural condition, perhaps you only wish to upgrade your decking boards to a composite material. Or you might consider upgrading your deck railing. Updated deck railings can really improve the look and function of your existing deck. If the configuration of your deck is the issue, we can often move stairs to a more desirable location. We can expand your deck’s footprint, and eve add more stairs. We can even convert your stair to bench steps to add extra seating. Finishing touches, such as deck lighting will also improve the safety of your deck, and provide ambiance to boot.

Long for the low maintenance of composite decking?

If you long for low maintenance, we can replace your existing deck with a composite deck. If your deck is structurally sound, simply replacing the decking boards using the existing footprint and framework that you have may be a viable  and more affordable option. There are many low maintenance decking brands to choose from such as TimberTech AZEK and Trex. We’ve had great success with these composite brands over the years. There are also many grades of low maintenance decking to choose from including solid PVC, synthetic, composite and capstock. Each of these types include many color and finish choices and are made to suit nearly any budget and design taste. Having a low maintenance deck, whether we build it from scratch or just replace your decking boards, will deliver a deck that will look and function beautifully for many years to come.

Get more room with a deck expansion.

Synthetic decks such as composite and PVC require less maintenance than a wooden deck.

When more room is needed, expanding your deck space might work. If you are adding onto your deck with a different building medium we can also re-deck the older deck to ensure both decks match.

The deck is the glue that holds your outdoor living area together

When you imagine the perfect outdoor living structure what comes to mind?

Do you think of only a deck? Most would agree that no backyard is complete without a one. Decks have been around a long time. They have become the epicenter of spending time with family and friends. Decks have the capability to transform your mood and offer a place to relax and rewind.

Have your deck and screen porch too!

What if we told you that decks are more often a part of a multi-space outdoor living design?

Most of our customers opt to build decks with other outdoor living structures such as porches, patios, and even pergolas. For example, a screened-in porch, like the one above, wouldn’t be complete without a deck to spill onto for grilling out. A pergola looks perfect paired on a deck to offer shade on a hot sunny day. We build custom decks using a myriad of materials based on what fits with your individual needs but one material that is perennially popular is composite or synthetic decking.

Composite decks in Greensboro are here to stay.

Composites come in all grades, colors, and price ranges. Tried and true is AZEK composite decking. AZEK is made from cellular PVC material and stands the test of time. It resists scratching, stains, splitting, is mold and mildew resistant and resists insects that can invade wood decks and destroy them. Their color choices are vast and they even make railing that is designed to complement your deck perfectly. It is also backed by some of the most comprehensive warranty in the industry.

Save on your deck construction project with a deck renovation.

You may feel like composite is out of your reach because of the cost. Archadeck of the Piedmont Triad wants you to know that if your existing deck is structurally sound adding a low-maintenance material when re-decking, refurbishing or upgrading your deck may be more economical than you might think. The payback in the long run to using a material such as AZEK pays for itself quickly without the added cost of replacing boards and painting. With a composite or cellular PVC deck from us you will be sitting pretty on a beautiful, low-maintenance deck for many years ahead.
