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!!"

"Alex called me as soon I put in the request for lawn care services and was willing to come by the same day for a quote. He came the next day to mow and was prompt, professional, and upfront about his services and prices. We had just moved into our home and the yard had not been mowed in quite some time. He had it all cut quickly. We will be continuing to use his services and recommending him to others in the area!!"

We specialize in those projects not large enough for frame to finish builders and too big for the average handyman, like kitchen and bath renovations, decks and porches, heat pump installations, tile work and cabinetry just to name a few. Diversity and experience are the benchmarks of our success. Decades of trades work leads to refined skills from conception and design to intricate finishes. I spent years as an electrician before advancing into general contracting and whole home renovations. This allows me to handle all tasks on any given project rather than involving multiple costly sub-contractors. We take pride in the level of communication and involvement given to our customers, empowering them to be involved and make informed choices leading to the upmost satisfaction with the final product. Quality and attention to detail never waiver in our approach to contracting, simply put we will not cut corners to cover cost. Customer satisfaction is the most important metric by which we measure successful outcomes. My father tought me the trades and his father taught him so the tradition of Mainers helping neighbors and being accountable are values deeply ingrained in my work and way of life. Let us help you get your "to do".....done. -Carpentry -Electrical -Plumbing -Renovations -Heat pumps (mini-splits) -Kiitchens (including custom countrrtops in any finish, custom cabinetry, tile and even design -Baths -Decks, porches, patios and hardscapes -Painting -Drywall -Repairs - as well as all other services you may need !

Decks and Porches questions, answered by experts

The signs of rot depend on the type. Dry rot looks like cube-shaped cracks with a fluffy white, cotton-like texture. Wood with dry rot may also have a strong, musty smell. 

Signs of other types of rot include wood that looks mushy or has black spots. The wood may crumble or give way when touched.

To child- or pet-proof your deck railing, look for railing systems with narrow spacing—under 4 inches—between balusters or panels. For added safety, consider installing a clear acrylic or mesh guard along the inside of the railing to prevent small limbs or paws from slipping through. Avoid horizontal rails that adventurous kids can climb like ladders. You can also add self-closing gates at stair openings to limit access.

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.

You can add a roof to most decks, but you need to have it inspected first. If your deck didn’t come with a roof initially, it may not be able to handle the weight without some structural changes. You can add additional supports to your existing deck to safely add a roof, and tying your deck’s roof to an exterior wall can help add some structural stability, but remember these aren’t DIY projects and need to be left to a pro. 

Several types of porches are available to meet your needs and style preferences. Some common porch types include:

  • Porticos are essentially a roof over a walkway leading to the home's front entrance. 

  • Sunrooms are closed-in porches that are an extension of the house with glass or plastic panels that allow optimal sunlight. 

  • Wraparound porches extend around the entire home, or at least the front and one side, and offer multiple entrances to the house.

  • Back porches are an extension of the home’s floor into the outdoors. These offer more protection and privacy than a deck.
