Two Options for Your Covered Deck in Kansas City

If you are searching for deck builders in Kansas City, who build covered decks, Archadeck can help.

Archadeck of Kansas City has been a custom covered deck builder since 2001. We not only build covered decks, but we design them from the ground up. We work with each client to determine the better choice between our two options in structures to cover your new composite deck.

Covered Deck with Custom Pergola

Cedar pergolas are a popular option for covered decks in the Kansas City area. Our clients love the designer aesthetic they provide. However, pergolas are not simply beautiful structures. They can serve myriad purposes, including providing partial shade and introducing avenues for adding lighting, ceiling fans, or other purposeful amenities.

Covered Deck with Roof

If you are looking for a covered deck design that offers full protection from the elements, a roof is a good choice for you. Because our deck roofs are 100% custom designs, yours will include the features and amenities that you desire. Very popular deck roof additions are recessed lighting, ceiling fans, and radiant heating to extend use of the space out of the typical outdoor living season in Kansas City.

If you have spoken with other local deck builders, who have told you that a gable roof is not possible for your project, get in touch with Archadeck of Kansas City. Not every covered deck builder is capable of building a deck with a gable roof but we are not like every deck builder in Kansas City! More often than not, we can design your new deck with the gable roof you desire.

How do you know if you want a roof or pergola?

When you schedule a covered deck design consultation with Archadeck of Kansas City, our Design Consultants will cover all positive and potentially negative aspects of roofs and pergolas.

Some of the criteria for choosing one or the other are:

  • Do you only plan to use your deck in the spring and summer seasons?
  • Are you more interested in having a designer focal point than full protection?
  • Do you want the more economical choice between the two or is cost not a consideration?
  • Do you want a deck cover that will not require periodic maintenance?

All these things and more will help us cooperatively arrive at your final and best choice. Every client we work with has unique outdoor living needs, and as such, will answer the questions above differently. Your new covered deck will all your own – unlike any other – when you work with Archadeck of Kansas City to design and build it.

Searching for Affordable Deck Builders Near Me?

If you are in search deck builders near me, should you be including words, like affordable, cost-effective, or cheap?

Careful what you search for. You just might get it. As deck contractors in the Kansas City area since 2001, we understand the perils of cheap and cost-effective choices in deck builders. There are more than a few reasons that you should not search for “affordable deck builders near me.”

Don't search for affordable deck builders near me.
Search for deck builders, who can give you a great value for the money, not a cheap deck.

What does “affordable” mean to you?

Or what does it mean to someone else, including the deck builders you are searching for? In the world of home improvement, terms like, “cheap” and “affordable” can be a hindrance to your intended purpose. What is affordable to one family might not be for the next. At Archadeck, we believe nobody really wants a cheap deck. If a deck builder offers you a cheap deck, we would caution you not to buy in.

High-quality decks are not cheap.
Quality decks are not cheap endeavors.

The Tale of Two Deck Contractors

If you receive two quotes from two different deck contractors in your area, they should be about the same price. How can this be? Well, any deck builder, who is an actual licensed contractor will be providing materials and labor at very comparable prices to another reputable deck builder. That is because licensed deck contractors have to pay for things, such as maintaining their license, and insurance for your deck project. The average cost to insure a deck project is in the area of $500. Additionally, a full-service deck building contractor will provide all the legwork on your behalf to submit for your project’s permitting and include the price of permits and subsequent inspections in your final cost.

Don't search for cheap deck builders near me.
Archadeck are licensed and insured deck contractors near you in Kansas City.

You’re not looking for affordable deck builders.

What you seek is a deck builder, who offers the most value for your investment. A high-quality, well-built deck will never be cheap, but it should provide the value-added benefits you are looking for. Will it be spacious enough to accommodate entertaining opportunities? Will it be built with low-maintenance materials? Will it include usable upgrades, such as pergola, a roof, or an outdoor fireplace. Search for trusted deck builders, not affordable deck builders.
