A great deck extends your home into the backyard — and a bad one quietly rots, sags, and fails. We're factory-trained at AZEK University on TimberTech/AZEK composite, and we build on a structure engineered to IRC code. Because the best board in the world fails on a bad frame.

A bad frame under a nice board. Premium decking screwed onto an undersized, poorly-spaced substructure sags, squeaks, and pops fasteners within a few years.
Not built to code. Improper footings and connections aren't just a failed inspection — they're a genuine safety risk and a problem when you sell.
Wrong fasteners & no ventilation. The wrong hidden-fastener system and a frame that can't breathe trap moisture and rot the structure under a "lifetime" surface.
Not built for Georgia. Our heat, humidity, and sun punish the wrong materials and details. A deck built for somewhere else won't hold up here.
A deck that lasts decades is engineered from the footings up — then finished with materials chosen for how you live and how Georgia weather behaves.
Single-level, covered, multi-level, or a full outdoor living area — designed for how you'll use it, with the right material for your budget and sun.
Code-compliant footings and connections, correct framing and ventilation, proper flashing where the deck meets the house. The part that actually lasts.
A published schedule, a clean site, and daily updates from a hands-on team so you always know where things stand.
A final walkthrough together — and we stand behind the work long after the last box is unpacked.
Typical ranges, all-in — including labor, materials, and a selections allowance. Size, height, site conditions, and material choice move the number. Starting points, not quotes.
It depends on size and type. As a rough guide, all-in: a single-level wood deck runs $25k–$40k, single-level composite $35k–$70k, a covered patio $40k–$60k, a covered wood deck $50k–$75k, and a covered composite deck $70k–$90k. We'll give you a clear, itemized proposal.
For most North Atlanta homes, composite wins over the life of the deck: little maintenance and no rot in our humidity, versus wood's ongoing sealing and shorter lifespan. We wrote an honest, brand-by-brand breakdown — read our composite decking comparison.
Very. Quality capped composite or PVC just needs an occasional wash — no staining or sealing like wood. It also resists the rot, fade, and mold that Georgia's heat and humidity inflict on wood. Real-world lifespan still depends heavily on the structure underneath.
Always. Decks have real structural and safety requirements, so we engineer to IRC code, pull the permit through your local jurisdiction, and handle inspections — so it's safe, legal, and documented.
