Thank you for visiting Archadeck of Central Maine, the leading outdoor living space builder in the Bangor, Augusta, and Waterville areas. We're known for creating additions that seamlessly work into the existing design of your property, building new structures that looks as if they were always part of our clients' homes. We're proud to say we don't offer a catalog full of ready-made decks, patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and more, nor do we charge by the square foot. Every design is one-of-a-kind and custom made for our clients.

"I highly recommend Archadeck of Central Maine. The carpenter, Garret, except for a few hours on the first carpentry day and the entire last day, worked on this by himself. He did a phenomenal job! On the last day he was joined by Preston and he did a great job as well. This project had some unique elements. First, was the slope of the ground. Second, was the design. The lower deck was designed to hold a hot tub (not shown here) to be accessed from the upper deck in the area between the two railings. One whole side of the upper deck remained without a railing as I wanted deck access to be at any point along the footpath. It'll be my task to backfill the gap between the deck surface and the footpath. Total number of days worked on this project was six (6). TJ and Jessi are easy to work with and the cost was very reasonable. We are THRILLED with the results!!"

"Hired him to paint my metal roof on April 24,2020, and paid him the deposit of $900.00. I told him to be sure to have the roof painted before the end of September. Contacted him on August 20,2020 and asked if he was coming to paint the roof. Daniel told me he would be here the following week. He never showed up. Called him on Sept 21,2020 and left a message as to whether he was still coming or not. It is now Oct 5,2020 and I have not received a call or my $900 deposit back from him. Steer clear of this guy. I guess it is time to hire a lawyer to get my deposit back."

"We were and are still thrilled with the project completed by Archadeck. There was a slight problem with settling the first year, and TJ replaced more than needed on a schedule that fit with us. Our project consisted of bringing in material to level a slope, installing over 800sf of patio pavers, and replacing a multi-level deck with a privacy wall. I would highly recommend Archadeck."

Decks and Porches questions, answered by experts

Similar to how you would care for turf in the yard, you’ll need to make sure you’re staying on top of your deck grass by picking up debris, cleaning up spills as soon as they happen, and giving your turf a monthly brushing with a medium bristle brush to keep it from flattening

Learning how to fix water-damaged or swollen wood is possible, but it won’t always work if there is significant warping or structural damage that was caused by the water. Cosmetic issues such as nicks, bubbling and peeling can often be fixed by using an iron, sanding, or using wood filler.

Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential to keep your winterized porch in good condition. Clean the screens, furniture, and floors periodically, and check for any signs of damage or wear. Depending on the materials used, you may need to reapply sealants or perform other maintenance tasks annually or as recommended by the manufacturer.

You can either nail or screw deck boards according to your preference. We recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws in this guide because screws offer superior holding powder over time. If you’re using screws, you can minimize the risk of cracking the boards by drilling small pilot holes before securing the boards to the deck joists.

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.
