There’s still time for Archadeck of Central Maryland to custom design and build a one-of-a-kind outdoor living space for you and your family this year

Ipe Deck and Screened Porch - RockvilleAs you know summer is coming to an end and the precious time to spend with family enjoying the outdoors before the kids go back to school or off to college is dwindling quickly. Having a comfortable space where you can have quiet dinners alfresco, host cocktails and socializing under the stars or just relaxing while soaking up some sun is what helps to make a house a home. If your outdoor living space isn’t quite up to par to ensure that those special outdoor gatherings can become a tradition in your backyard…don’t worry. There’s still time for Archadeck of Central Maryland to custom design and build a one-of-a-kind outdoor living space for you and your family this year, rather than regretting not having a special “spot” for all of your special moments.

A crucial element in making the most out of the time spent outdoors comes from the functionality and beauty only an outdoor living space addition can provide. Archadeck of Central Maryland wants you to know if you are “on the fence” about moving ahead with your outdoor living space aspirations, now is the time to act. The fabulous weather of summer will be around a little bit longer and fall is right around the corner, so there’s still plenty of time to have a new project designed and built for lots of memory making events!

Archadeck deck, pergola and outdoor kitchenFor a top quality outdoor living space, it’s important for you to hire a custom outdoor structures builder, like Archadeck of Central Maryland. Building is an interactive process and extremely personal thing. The decisions you make as far as design and materials can impact your life and the life of your family for years to come. That is why it’s important to get it right the first time and you can if you use a builder whose skill set will translate into your needs. A good builder will have the insight, experience and knowledge to listen to you and help translate your needs and wants into a design and a structure that are right for you and your family.

Meeting with the homeowner and talking with them about the kinds of activities they want their outdoor structure to facilitate for them is one of our favorite parts of the process. We look over collected and compiled pictures and ideas of structure styles and features and then integrate them into a design rendering of their ideal outdoor structure. An extremely valuable tool, homeowners use the rendering to assist in the decision making process when deciding upon a certain outdoor structure. The rendering is very realistic and shows details not visible through an average one-dimensional black and white sketch. This realism gives you the ability to make changes and additions to the structure before construction begins. It is a truly “custom” feature that has proved invaluable in communicating with the homeowner.

Potomac, MD, outdoor space adds modern flair and serious outdoor entertainment value

Potomac MD urban oasis

Our recent project in Potomac, MD, is an urban oasis!

Archadeck of Central MD is proud of the project we recently completed for our clients in Potomac, MD. They challenged us to create a custom outdoor living oasis to serve a multitude of functions. The homeowners wanted a back deck to have an open area, but also a screened in one as well, to have a protected space when the weather wasn’t cooperative with their outdoor plans. Another important aspect to the project was that the house is contemporary in style, so the new deck had to have a sleek appearance to look as if it was original to the home and not an appendage. After analyzing the three-level property, we knew that we could pull off an amazing 3-tier outdoor entertaining deck addition that would step down to the family’s pool and beautifully landscaped yard in a truly elegant way.

Potomac MD proposed design

Potomac, MD, proposed design shown to clients through rendering.

We wanted to take advantage of the steep drop in the property by connecting all the levels with a series of stairs that would easily flow down to the yard, give a significant wow factor and really tie everything together. We started with the upper deck that promises stunning views and conversational seating for a quiet get together or even reading a good book.  Aluminum railing by Nexan with glass panels allows the view of the grounds below to remain uninterrupted and would capture that modern feel the homeowners were after. Everything is structurally supported by two engineered beams that are cleverly clad in PVC so they can’t be seen and blend into the configuration seamlessly and require little to no maintenance. Then just a few steps down showcases a sun deck that is perfect for relaxing on the lounge chairs with a margarita in the sunshine.

Another curving flight of stairs reveals a patio where friends and family can enjoy cooking at the grill, dining or hanging out on the comfortable chairs just above the pool. We added custom overflow bench seating would help bring additional seating to the space without disrupting the traffic flow.  Thanks to the ingenious use of the Trex Rain Escape system paired with hidden gutters, we were able to give the customers a roomy screened in porch under the main two-story deck.  The family can still enjoy al’fresco fun if it rains or even retreat from bothersome insects if they start biting. It’s not a bad spot for an afternoon snooze in the outdoors either!

Potomac MD sun decks

 

We were truly fixated on the details of this project, and the deck was entirely built using Trex Select decking in hues of gray to match the home exactly—even the PVC that covers the 1×6 posts was meticulously color matched. The deck is also picture-framed in a darker tone border to define it and add heaps of visual interest, too. I’m so proud to say that the design team and our builders pulled off some serious magic with this one; and these Potomac, MD homeowners are delighted with the results which is steeped in high-end urban flair and is entirely low maintenance thanks to the use of high quality materials.

The deck not only adds value to the home, but it enhances the way our customers live outdoors. They can take advantage of all the benefits that the fresh air and sunshine provide, and spend quality time with their friends and family entertaining in style with little fuss in their new backyard oasis.

The design consultation that spanned halfway around the world!

Hyattsville, MD, outdoor living space builder

Our most recent project in Hyattsville, MD.

In my line of business I get the opportunity to meet many wonderful homeowners. Some of my fondest memories have been made in working with customers toward reaching their goal of outdoor living happiness. Every client is unique in their own way as are their outdoor living needs. One of our most recent projects, located in Hyattsville, MD,   we transformed an entire outdoor living area. This fascinating story began when the homeowners contacted us to improve their existing outdoor space. Their goal was to improve the beauty, versatility and functionality. Their existing space included a hot tub simply placed on a concrete slab patio. Although they thoroughly enjoyed using their hot tub, the space and its surroundings lacked any additional functional area and quite frankly was rather bland and lacked aesthetics worthy of their lovely home and property.

Hyattsville, MD, under deck systems

After our initial on site assessment and in-depth conversation with the homeowners to get a better understanding of their wants, needs and budget, we began some preliminary drawings for their anticipated remodel. In these  renderings we were able to give this couple a look at our suggested design layout. The new proposed design would transform the entire outdoor living area into a space that not only integrated their hot tub, but allowed them a stunning vantage point of their beautifully wooded lot.

It was at this point, just prior to their scheduled final consultation to review and approve the new design plan, that the husband was deployed to an undisclosed station in Afghanistan. Wanting to move forward, so the space would be completed by the time he would return, we worked out a way using the marvel of modern technology so both he and his wife to be able to view our design presentation via the internet…just as if he was in the room with us! I must confess that this was a first for us, an Archadeck design consultation via half way round the world! As always, it is a  pleasure for Archadeck of Central MD to work to accommodate those who serve in our military!

Hyattsville, MD, Timbertech Deck Builder

The new outdoor living space accentuates the homeowners’ beautiful wooded lot perfectly!

 

Having seen and fallen in love with contrasting decking material colors in a photo of a TimberTech deck the homeowners made this their primary material request — so that is exactly what we did. The main part of the deck was built using TimberTech Earthwood Evolution Legacy in Tigerwood and the picture framing border was built-in TimberTech Legacy in Mocha. The contrast gives the deck a truly custom look and  exotic feel too. We also used white posts alongside a dark-toned rail, which helped picture-frame the backyard view.

Hyattsville, MD, underdeck outdoor livingWith this beautiful raised deck, the opportunity to double their outdoor living space was irresistible so we installed a Trex Rain Escape deck drainage system with hidden guttering and a hidden water collection system in order to deliver a completely “finished” under deck space where they could enjoy their beloved spa with the added enhancement of a walkout patio. The patio was built using Belgard Holland Stone pavers in Fossil Beige. To further finish the under deck area we installed low-maintenance 1×6 tongue and groove PVC in order to give the space a charming “porch” feel.

The ultimate finished outdoor living area we created for this wonderful military couple who both are actively serving our country, included quite a unique barbecue area with a descending stair access to their new hot tub pad. As you can see in the pictures this stunning new multipurpose design exceeded their desires and needs. This completed project exudes the pleasure and honor we feel in being asked to bring these homeowners’ outdoor living dreams to life!

How soon do you want to begin enjoying your new Central MD outdoor living space?

Screened Porch with Massaranduba DeckWhen you first begin planning your outdoor living space, you consider so many elements: the type of structure or combination of structures you desire, function, location and the preferred materials you wish to use. All of these are  important factors, but one of the biggest is often overlooked…how soon do you want to begin enjoying your outdoor living space addition? During our initial conversations with homeowners, they often ask us when is the best time to get their outdoor living space project underway. In all honesty, the best time to have your custom designed outdoor living area built, is right now, no matter what time of year “right now” may be.

There are construction benefits for every season, but here are just a few of the reasons you should get your project started now:

Wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy your outdorr space now rather than later?

Wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy your outdorr space now rather than later?

  • Shorter wait times – Summer is our busiest time of the year, and spring has just sprung, now is the perfect time to build! Obtaining required permits and HOA approvals will take less time as well. Making the decision to build now will ensure you enjoyment all the benefits of your new structure sooner and in plenty of time for warm weather. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a spacious deck or fabulous new outdoor room addition to take advantage of sooner rather than later?
  • More time to properly seal your wood structure – A structure built from wood needs to cure for a period of time before the sealer will properly adhere to the wood and promote beneficial protection qualities. By choosing to build during the least humid time of year, your wooden structure will have ample time to cure in preparation to accept the sealer you choose.
  • Greater valueGreater value for your budget dollar – Once your structure is complete, you’ll want to furnish and decorate it to your liking. The outdoor living season is just beginning with a bounty of deals on outdoor living accoutrements. These savings will allow you to splurge a little on some of the higher end must have items like outdoor sound systems, a flat screen TV for your porch and much more!

The versatility of a new outdoor living area is exhilarating! We can honestly say, upon the completion of a new outdoor living space we have never had a homeowner say, “I wish we had waited.” On the other hand, we almost always hear, “Why didn’t we do this sooner?!

John Barrett Archadeck of MarylandNow, with all these benefits in mind, what are you waiting for? Archadeck of Central Maryland can custom design and build your structure in time to take advantage of the full glory of the outdoor living season. Don’t wait any longer!

Ipe Deck and Screened Porch - Rockville

Beautiful Ipe deck and screened porch outdoor living combination in Rockville, MD.

When I’m asked what I do for a living, I say, “I have one of the best jobs possible…I help people make their dreams a reality”. Like the final piece to a puzzle, your outdoor living environment completes the process of making your house a home! Archadeck of Central Maryland  works with homeowners, like you, throughout Howard and Montgomery County and the surrounding areas to make your backyard your morning coffee and paper spot to start your day and your quiet retreat to which you escape each evening after a long day at work; your intimate dining space full of ambience just for two as well as the perfect place for all your family gatherings, barbecues and special events…and everything in between! Making your dream outdoor living environment a reality is what we do best.

Our business is exceptionally rewarding from a connection standpoint. Custom designing and building your outdoor living area starts with an onsite visit with you and a clear understanding of your mental picture of this space. Being able to see what you “see” when you think about your ideal backyard retreat, and then translate that into a design and a structure customized for you and your family starts with these types of questions:

  • How do you plan to utilize this space for special occasions and everyday use?
  • Will you cook, dine, entertain and relax in this area?
  • Are you considering the addition of a water or fire feature?
  • Do you want enclosed areas for protection, wide open spaces or a combination of both?
  • What are your personal tastes and style choices for materials and colors?
Silver Spring patio deck gazebo and pergola design rendering plan

Each Archadeck of Maryland client gets a design rendering showing exactly what their project will look like.

The design of a project is perhaps the most important phase of creating an outdoor living space. Seeing your home, the potential building site and talking one-on-one with you to obtain the answers to all these questions allows me to create a professional, custom design rendering, integrating all these things. This rendering, while taking into account your home’s architectural style and budget, provides you with a real image of what your dream outdoor living environment will look like…taking you one step closer to making it a reality.

It has been my experience, most homeowners find these renderings extremely valuable in the decision making process. The images are very realistic with an attention to detail, not visible through an average one-dimensional black and white sketch. This realism gives you the ability to make changes and additions to the structure before construction begins, better suiting your needs and budget. My main goal is to help guide you through this process from start to finish, ending up with an outdoor structure which is an extension of your living area you love because it is an expression of you.

With this vivid image of your ideal living space including all the bells and whistles, in front of you, you may catch yourself thinking this is more than you had in mind to bite off “all at once”. No worries, it’s a very common misconception that the perfect outdoor living space is well out of reach of being affordable. Remember how I said earlier, making your dream outdoor living environment a reality is what we do best…it absolutely is. We offer the convenience of a phased building program which allows you to construct your outdoor living space combination project in stages as your lifestyle and budget allows.

Have your cake and eat it tooPerhaps this season you begin with a deck, add a patio or porch in the fall, or even in advance of next year’s outdoor living season! This option will transform your backyard each season (like getting a new backyard each time) until the final design is completed. Archadeck of Central Maryland wants you to know you don’t have to delay creating your ideal backyard retreat any longer because you can have your cake and eat it too!

Archadeck-design-guideThe best design and structure we can build for you and the way you live outdoors comes from your answers to a wide variety of questions we ask, including:

  • For what activities will this space be primarily used? The best outdoor living structures are designed with perfect union in form and function. Will it include electronics like a big screen TV or surround sound system for large gatherings or do you wish to have a technology free zone, just right for rest and relaxation? Will your space need an outdoor kitchen area to be used for family barbeques and larger dinner parties? Do you want an open, exposed area to bask in the sun or do you prefer a covered area with protection from the elements? Better yet, how about a combination space which can be utilized for all of the above?
  • What is the terrain of your property like? Is it flat or does it have slopes? The terrain must be taken into consideration when selecting the structure and type of outdoor living space, but it doesn’t necessarily limit your options.

Additional aspects we consider when creating your custom space are the situation of your property in regards to sun exposure, favorite views you may have and the proximity of neighboring properties…all of which should be kept in mind when selecting the style and design.
