Archadeck of Central Maine

We were and are still thrilled with the project completed by Archadeck. There was a slight problem with settling the first year, and TJ replaced more than needed on a schedule that fit with us. Our project consisted of bringing in material to level a slope, installing over 800sf of patio pavers, and replacing a multi-level deck with a privacy wall. I would highly recommend Archadeck.

We couldnâ t be happier with our experience working with Archadeck of Central Maine and their owner, TJ Langerak. From start to finish, their team demonstrated outstanding professionalism and attention to detail, transforming our vision into a beautiful, durable deck and stone patio. The entire process was seamless and stress-free. The project was completed on time, with exceptional craftsmanship and clear, consistent communication at every step. Any adjustments or items on the punch list were promptly addressed without issue, showcasing their commitment to customer satisfaction. The end result is a stunning outdoor living space that has exceeded our expectations in both quality and aesthetics. We wholeheartedly recommend Archadeck of Central Maine to anyone looking to elevate their home with a well-designed and expertly constructed outdoor project. Thank you, TJ and team, for making our dream outdoor space a reality!

Very professional team, excellent work, attention to detail, and perfect cleanup.

We decided to build a massive double decker composite deck around our pool in the fall of 2022 in Winslow ME. This was a six-figure project and knew it could only be built by the best. TJ and his crew are the best in the business. From architectural design to final build. If you are looking to have a durable, aesthetically pleasing and top-tier deck built this is the company to hire. We would give them 100 stars if we could. We are currently building a new home and plan to go with Archadeck of Central Maine once again.

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!!

These folks were great. There was clear communication start to finish. They did great work and am happy to have hired them. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful job

Went with archadeck because they had a good rating. 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.

They were very friendly and professional. Did the work they were hired for and cleaned up when done. I highly recommend them

Very good company ,very professional.

Discussions with contractor were professional and clear. Actual construction was done quickly and well.

He is very sincere and one of the most honest person I have dealt with.
