Experience, Professionalism and Process
Based on our experience, we know communication and clarity on project details are important. Archadeck is known for our highly effective communication style to ensure a smooth process during the design phase as well as the building phase. For each project, we print plans and supporting documents with clear notations for absolute clarity. A variety of individuals will rely on these documents for accuracy, including those who issue building permits and conduct inspections for the county, city or township building departments. We coordinate permits and inspections for your project, and we will provide your Homeowners Association with the plans need for their approval as well.
Custom Design
For the initial project design, we listen to your description of what you want in your new outdoor living space. We offer suggestions based on our experience, discarding those that don’t feel right for you and incorporating those that do. The best designs are usually the product of collaboration between the client and the designer.
We generate architectural drawings to show you Archadeck’s design recommendations.
- Plan view — a 2-dimensional computerized drawing
- Design rendering — the same drawing, but in a 3-dimensional view. Here you can see the details and colors of your project.
Construction
Our first goal is a satisfied client. In our 30+ years of experience, we have learned that the most important aspect of our work is the construction stage, and the only way to ensure smooth construction is through communication. When managing your project, we use a checklist to stay organized. To ensure your satisfaction, we establish clear expectations including constant communication, a clean project site, minimal inconvenience to you and adhering to a timely schedule.
— Akron, OH, outdoor living combination

To achieve this goal, we follow plans, not suggestions. Most important, we follow Archadeck’s deep experience-based construction methodology for consistency.

Archadeck of Akron is locally owned by Patrick Sluss. I have over 10 years of construction experience and it is the small details that you pay a little extra for upfront that makes your project stand the test of time.
— Here in this photo you can see one of those details. Grace Vycor Deck Protector. The black that is under the steps is the Grace Vycor. Once the last piece of trim goes on no one sees this product but it protects your structure from water being trapped or absorbed on top of the wood joist and stringers.
