Thank you for visiting the Archadeck of Central Iowa web site!  We hope your experience here is  helpful in understanding how the design/build services of Archadeck | Outdoor Living  can enhance your outdoor living lifestyle. 

We operate as part of the national Archadeck brand of industry-respected professionals dedicated to the development of outdoor living spaces, rooms and accessories.  Our custom design, construction and support services are focused on decks, porches, sunrooms, 3- and 4-season rooms, pergolas, patios, outdoor kitchens and other outdoor living spaces, rooms and accessories.  Or, as we like to say, virtually anything under the sun!

Since 1980, Archadeck has been a proud and committed leader in this exciting field.  We’ve had a presence in the Des Moines and Central Iowa areas since 1997.  Over these periods, outdoor living has grown as both a popular lifestyle as well as a value–enhancement for your home (when done right).  Coincidence?  Maybe, maybe not.  But, we do understand it…we live outdoors everyday.  And, yes, in Central Iowa…even in the Winter months!   

Our Des Moines-area outdoor living projects are frequently featured in local publications such as the Welcome Home Des Moines magazine   and the Des Moines Register’s Homestyle magazine.  In addition, Outdoor Living Rooms, a national, special interest publication of Meredith’s Better Homes and Garden division, used one of our local projects  as a backdrop for a feature called EcoStyle.  Photos from these projects are scattered throughout our Photo Galleries here.

As you consider your outdoor living lifestyle choices, feel free to download our free Design Guide; it was prepared to help you understand our approach to “outdoor design” and to get you in an “outdoor living” frame of mind.  Then, when it makes sense for you to take the next step in pursuing your outdoor dreams, give us a call or complete the “How Can We Help” form at the right.  Your project will go through a local design effort starting with our complimentary design consultation.   We use state-of-the-art, Softplan Architectural Design Software to help our clients visualize their new outdoor living space design options.  Our Urbandale office/showroom showcases the products and materials we frequently use in our projects…and our projects themselves thru displays and pictures.  This provides an excellent environment for our clients to make final design and material decisions. 

As your project design is finalized, it is reviewed and structured by our national team of design and construction experts.  In construction and beyond, our exacting standards and support from the business, product and technical relationships we have developed as a recognized industry leader will provide you years of enjoyment and security in knowing your outdoor living spaces, rooms and accessories are well-designed, well-built, warranted and guaranteed. 

Again, thanks for visiting our web site and we look forward to hearing from you soon.  Beyond our web site, you can:

archadeck difference

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Going on 30 years of business and nearly 100,000 completed projects, Archadeck’s experience and professionalism ensures unmatched quality and service.

We want our clients to get the outdoor structure they’ve always wanted. That’s why we offer a free design consultation that explores their individual wants and needs. Based on those requirements, Archadeck custom designs each project and creates detailed renderings so you can see exactly what your finished project will look like.

Archadeck handles every aspect of the construction process, from obtaining all necessary permits to thorough inspections upon completion of the project. You won’t need to worry about anything.

Every outdoor living project we design and build is backed both by an Archadeck warranty and the National Guarantee Corporation. The Archadeck warranty includes a one-year workmanship warranty and a five-year structural warranty. The National Guarantee Corporation guarantees that our structures will be completed to the agreed upon specifications, no matter what.
