Archadeck of Central Maine

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!!

Wonderful

This company subcontracts out work to builders without doing any research. You're better off finding a local builder yourself so you avoid the headache we had to deal with. This was approximately a 210sq ft deck we paid $31k) for (we were okay with paying extra because we thought they were reputable) The deck was installed with absolutely no water protection behind the ledger board. The ledger board was just placed against 40 year old siding and I can clearly see the rim joist of my house from outside. The owner TJ and his assistant Jesse both advised that it was done right they didn't see anything wrong with it. (had to call them out while just the framing was up, there was no oversight.) I had 4 contractors out to double check it, 1 being related and 3 are well known local builders. All of them stated that there was no water membrane behind the ledger, it would quickly rot out and to pause all work to get code enforcement out because there's no way it will pass. I notified TJ I wanted code enforcement to check it out before we proceeded due to major safety concerns (deck railing installed with no screws barely hanging on and they just covered it with the railing cover. See photo. And the ledger board being clearly placed over old siding with no water barrier) When code enforcement came out his first words were "this is wrong". TJ kept advising code enforcement that he just didn't see how it was wrong. Ultimately, code enforcement failed it due to there being no barrier to protect the ledger board or the house from wind driven rain, ice, etc(live on the coast) To fix it they had to cut the ledger board into 4 pieces peel it off the house, cut what should have been cut originally and then water barrier put in, old foam put back and put the deck back. The entire time, Jesse made sure that we knew he was very irritated to have to fix it. They also took out a 3 ft window and replaced it with a 6 ft sliding glass door on an exterior wall and weren't going to put in a header or any pan flashing (placed it right on the wood) . The header they put in (after me insisting they did) is blocked on 1 side (jack stud too short so instead of fixing they just added a little wood block) and it's floating on the other, jack stud also too short - not supporting header. When they drilled the holes for the helical posts(3) they drilled it a foot into my garage door path - and then had to cut more blacktop out to fix it. How this step is messed up is beyond me. Overall the issue comes from complete lack of oversight and they were either being dishonest about not seeing what was wrong, or they've installed a lot of decks without a water barrier. (leading reason for deck failures) Either way - terrible experience with this business. This doesn't even account for the "can't see it from my house" the crew kept saying throughout the build Update: BEWARE Just received a cease and desist in the mail today from their lawyers. It seems like they sue people who leave their business with negative reviews. Even with all the photos of their work. Cease and desist attached.Went with archadeck because they had a good rating.

We agreed to a project for a small front porch. A little pricey with the wood cost being up but they said they honor their warranty so I signed a contract. The project was completed on time but during pretty cold weather. When the weather warmed back up it became clear there were a few cosmetic issues and a slight problem with the gate. Fortunately, when I reached out for assistance TJ sent a carpenter right over and they made it right. Great support made for a good experience. Would recommend

I was very pleased. They were awesome, pleasant, and knowledgeable . They did the design, I was looking for.

TJ was great to work with. He was professional, always got back to me in a timely fashion and completed the work on time. I am happy with the job he did and would recommend him to anyone looking to improve their outdoor living space.

They were awesome, and they were very dependable and have great workmanship if I need anything down in the future I would definitely get them again.

Had some issues with the materials from the factory, TJ & the team addressed the issues and made sure the materials were correct. Overall went well.

They love it. They put a hot tub on it. They would have them come back and do another project with TJ. They were very impressed working with TJ-He was the owner. They enjoyed it. She was very happy with the work that they did and with their customer service. She recommended him to me. They were very happy with the custom rails.
