Your Local Deck Builders in Archer
Southwest of Gaineville, Archer offers a quieter, more rural pace — bigger lots, open skies, and plenty of room to build the outdoor space you've always wanted. We build custom wood and composite decks, screened porches, pergolas, and pool decks for Archer homeowners, all engineered for Florida's heat and storms.
Archer's larger, often acreage properties are ideal for ambitious decks and multi-zone outdoor living areas, and we love designing around that extra space.
Room to Build in Archer
With Archer's generous lot sizes, we can design expansive decks, wraparound porches, and integrated pergolas and screened lanais that would be tough to fit on a tighter city lot. We make the most of your land while keeping every part of the build to Florida code.
For rural Archer properties, proper footings and drainage are especially important given variable soils — and that's something we plan for from the start.
Archer & Alachua County Permitting
