Building permits are required for most deck projects across Metro Atlanta, and we manage the entire permit process on your behalf at no additional charge — you never make a trip to a permit counter.
Your estimate is itemized and explained line by line before you sign anything, so the number on the invoice matches the number you agreed to.
We treat your project like it's happening in our own backyard — honest advice, quality craftsmanship, and a focus on doing things right the first time.
We measure your space in person, talk through how you'll use it, and note anything that affects design — slope, drainage, HOA rules.
You get a real layout and a transparent, itemized estimate before any commitment — free, no pressure.
We pull every permit and schedule inspections at no extra charge. Most builds take just 2 to 4 construction days once materials and permits are ready.
We walk the finished deck with you, point out how to maintain it, and don't consider the job done until you do.
Composite decking, hardwood detail, and the kind of craftsmanship close-ups that don't show up in a phone quote.
Here's exactly what you're getting when you hire us — no surprises, no fine print.
Materials, labor, permit fees, and any add-ons are broken out separately in writing — never a single vague lump sum.
No shortcuts on engineering or inspections. If it needs a permit under Georgia's building code, we handle it before the first post goes in — free.
Call the number on this site and you'll reach someone who can talk about your actual project, not a dispatch center reading a script.
"Marcus and his crew walked us through composite vs. wood, gave us one clean written price, and stuck to it. On time every day and the new deck off our kitchen is exactly what we pictured."
"Our old wood deck was cracking from years of Georgia sun and they replaced it with a composite build, permits and all. Looks incredible and there were zero surprise costs along the way."
"From the first estimate to the final walkthrough, everything was straightforward. Our new pergola is now where we spend every evening. Highly recommend."

Custom wood decks using pressure-treated pine, cedar, and hardwoods like ipe and cumaru; composite decks using Trex, TimberTech, and Fiberon; pool decks and pool surrounds; and pergolas and covered outdoor structures.
Simple pergola designs start around $8,000, with custom structures — larger spans, integrated lighting, louvered roofs — running $20,000 or more. We'll walk you through the options during your free estimate.
Pool deck and patio surrounds generally run $10,000 to $40,000 depending on size, material, and drainage requirements. Slip-resistant decking and proper grading around the pool add to the number but matter a lot for everyday safety.
For most homeowners here, yes. Composite resists the humidity, pollen, and UV that cause wood to gray, splinter, and need resealing every year or two. You pay more upfront but skip most of the maintenance cycle for the life of the deck.
Yes — a lot of Metro Atlanta terrain across Fulton, Cobb, and Cherokee counties is anything but flat. We regularly design multi-level and elevated decks engineered specifically for sloped lots and taller foundation walkouts.
Both. We repair soft or rotted boards, re-secure loose railings, and address storm or sun damage on existing decks, and we build new wood, composite, and multi-level decks from scratch. If you're not sure which you need, a free inspection settles it.
