Custom Decks, Porches, and Patios by Archadeck of Akron
Silver Lake is the place you go when you want to be by the water in the comfort of a small village. It’s quiet here, the kind of place where you want to be outside instead of in front of a screen. That’s why Archadeck of Akron designs and builds outdoor living spaces for Silver Lake homeowners who want to make the most of it.
Our owner, Patrick Sluss, is a construction engineer by training. To every project, he brings that background. That means your outdoor space would be designed with the very same attention to load, drainage, and material performance that went into the structure of your home.
Working with Archadeck means you have lots of options for outdoor living. In our years serving Summit County and beyond, we’ve built custom decks, porches, screened porches, patios, pergolas, sunrooms, and combination spaces alike.
Your Silver Lake Deck Builder
Every property in Silver Lake is a little different, with its own shape and slope. Generic deck layouts rarely make the best use of what yards have to offer, which is why we, as your Silver Lake deck builder, design around the specific dimensions of your lot. We account for changes in elevation and we make sure you can easily enjoy all the views you’d like to see.
We work with composite, PVC, and wood decking, and we will walk you through the differences so you can make a confident decision about what suits your home and your patience for routine upkeep. No matter the material, though, every deck we build is engineered to meet local code. Even as the ground freezes and thaws each year, you can expect your deck to stay in place and level, as it should be.
A covered porch can turn an underused corner of your home into the room your family gravitates toward on warm evenings. We design open-air porches, covered porches, and three-season rooms based on how you plan to spend your time in them.
Some families want a space for morning coffee and a book. Others want room for a table where the whole family eats together from May through September. We start by listening and then design based on what we hear.
Screened Porches for Silver Lake Evenings
Living near water means living near mosquitoes, so a screened porch can save you a lot of bug bites. You can enjoy the freshness of the evening air and the sounds of the neighborhood without spending the whole time swatting. We build screened porches with SCREENEZE, which means you can be protected from the bugs without your view being blocked.
If you want the flexibility to close the space off in cooler months, we can also design with track windows that slide open for summer and seal up when the October cold rolls in. That kind of versatility can stretch your porch season by months.
Your Silver Lake Patio Builder
Patios add a ton of value to yards where they are found. With a patio in place, you have a surface that’s perfect for anything from a fire pit circle to a full outdoor dining setup. And thanks to modern Unilock pavers, you have a great deal of control over how the patio looks, and you can choose from a wide range of colors, textures, and patterns. You’re sure to find something that will be a match for your home. We can also incorporate outdoor kitchens into your patio design if you think July will give you the sudden urge to fire up the grill.
When it comes to the build itself, you can be assured that Archadeck will handle all the unflashy details that make patios durable and safe before even the first paver goes down. We handle compaction, grading, and drainage so your patio won’t heave or pool after a couple of seasons.
Silver Lake Pergola Builder
Nothing can add structure and shade to a deck or patio quite like a pergola. They look great and they provide shade, which is a great relief in the hottest summer afternoons that Ohio can bring.
We design pergolas that relate to your home's roofline and proportions, so the result looks intentional from every angle. If you need fuller shade, we can add a cover or design a hybrid structure that gives you the best of both.
Silver Lake Combination Outdoor Living Spaces
Some of our most rewarding projects arecombination spaces where multiple structures work together. A screened porch that opens onto a deck. A patio with a pergola overhead and a fire pit at the far end. A three-season room connected to an open-air dining area.
When these elements are designed as one project, they flow into each other and give you options based on the weather, the time of day, or the occasion. True to his background, Patrick approaches these projects as an engineer and a designer. That’s why every connection between spaces is structurally sound while the transitions feel as natural as can be.
Silver Lake Sunroom Builder
If you want a fully enclosed space that functions year-round, we also design and build custom sunrooms. A sunroom gives you the views and the natural light of an outdoor space with the comfort and climate control of an interior room. We can connect a sunroom to your existing structure or build it as part of a larger combination project.
