Stunning view of the Fort Worth skyline from this composite rooftop deck by Archadeck of Fort Worth
Once upon a time, not so very long ago, downtown Fort Worth was home to thousands of cowboys who spent their days off in downtown Fort Worth after working tirelessly on the Chisholm Trail. Nowadays, downtown Fort Worth is home to a diverse mix of restaurants, parks, shopping, businesses and some of the most beautiful skylines in all of Texas.
Recently, we were contacted by a homeowner who owned a downtown Fort Worth condominium to design a roof top and lower level deck for the complex. His desire was to build a deck that would be the perfect spot to breathe in the stunning skyline of downtown Fort Worth. Archadeck of Fort Worth was able to turn one homeowner’s wishes into a reality with a design that captures the essence of the Fort Worth downtown and wrapped it all up with the gift of durability and low-maintenance, so the homeowner would have a deck that would not restrict the beautiful view or put a damper on his outdoor living enjoyment.

The existing deck at the complex was constructed of pressure treated wood and was definitely worse for wear. The customer wanted us to replace the deck with composite because of the weather resistance. We designed an upper-level rooftop composite deck that sits atop the 4th story of the condominium complex and also designed a matching lower level composite deck on the ground floor as well. The deck was finished with TimberTech Reliaboard in the cedar hue. This design is like a breath of fresh air for the homeowner because their existing deck was actually coming apart.
The lower level deck on the condominium complex was also constructed of TimberTech Reliaboard.
The new composite decks also include a bench to cover the exposed exhaust, a planter, and we also built a wall around the AC unit. All of this was done using the TimberTech Reliaboard decking plank and the result gives the area an urban, clean feel that still allows the beautiful view to be the star of the show. TimberTech Reliaboard is a front-runner among composite decking with a 25 year limited warranty. Reliaboard also guards against splintering and rotting, is weather resistant and never needs staining or painting. It also guards against stains and only needs minimal maintenance consisting of simple soap and water cleanup. TimberTech Reliaboard has the look of real wood, without the headaches of the real thing. You get the best of both worlds with this composite decking product, so it was the perfect choice for this unique deck.
This shows the crane actually transporting the composite decking carefully to its 4th story rooftop destination.
Since the rooftop deck is located on the 4th story of the complex, Archadeck of Fort Worth had to keep their project management on their toes. We actually hired a crane to assist with the delivery of the materials to make certain the decking material reached its intended destination with the utmost care and in a timely manner. This is just one example of the ingenuity we use to make sure the customers needs and wants are taken care of with professionalism and integrity. We do what we have to do when a unique obstacle challenges us to make sure the job is done right, down to the last decking board. A professional builder will always keep the customers best interests in mind, and do whatever needs to be done in order to make sure they are happy with whatever outdoor structure is being built for them. This is an excellent example of why we call it “the Archadeck difference“.
