"Marcus and his crew walked us through composite vs. wood, gave us one clean written price, and stuck to it. The whole build took less than a week."
"Our old wood deck was falling apart and they replaced it with a composite build, permits and all. Zero surprise costs and it looks incredible."
"From the first call to the final walkthrough, everything was straightforward. Our new pergola-covered deck is now where we spend every evening."
We build decks throughout Atlanta and the surrounding Fulton, Cobb, and DeKalb County communities — and within about 50 miles of the city.
Straight answers to what Atlanta and Metro Atlanta homeowners ask us before booking an estimate.
In Atlanta, custom deck installation typically costs between $8,000 and $30,000 depending on size, materials, and design. A standard 12×16 pressure-treated wood deck in Metro Atlanta runs $8,000-$12,000. Composite decks (Trex, TimberTech) range from $14,000-$25,000. Multi-level decks, pergolas, or pool decks can reach $25,000-$40,000+. Prices vary by neighborhood — Buckhead and Sandy Springs projects often include premium finishes. We provide free, detailed written estimates for all Atlanta homeowners with no obligation.
Yes — all structural decks in Metro Atlanta require a building permit. Requirements vary by jurisdiction: the City of Atlanta falls under Atlanta's Office of Buildings; Cobb County covers Marietta, Smyrna, and Kennesaw; DeKalb County oversees Decatur and Dunwoody; Fulton County covers Roswell, Alpharetta, and Sandy Springs. Permits typically require stamped structural drawings and a site plan. We handle every aspect of the permit process for you — from application submission to scheduling the final inspection — at no additional charge.
For Atlanta's climate — hot summers with high humidity, heavy spring rain, and occasional freezing winters — composite decking from Trex, TimberTech, or Fiberon is the most durable choice. Unlike pressure-treated pine, composite will not warp, crack, splinter, or rot in Georgia's humidity and will not attract wood-boring insects common to North Georgia. Pressure-treated pine is still an excellent budget-friendly option when properly sealed and maintained. We'll recommend the best option based on your budget, sun exposure, and how much maintenance you want to do.
Most deck construction projects in Metro Atlanta take 3 to 7 business days once materials arrive on-site. A simple ground-level deck can be completed in 2-3 days, while a multi-level deck with a pergola may take 7-10 days. Permit approval through Atlanta-area municipalities typically takes 5-15 business days, depending on the county. We give you a firm project timeline before we start so you can plan around the construction.
We serve all of Metro Atlanta and surrounding communities including Buckhead, Midtown, Decatur, Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Alpharetta, Roswell, Marietta, Smyrna, Kennesaw, Woodstock, Acworth, Canton, Peachtree City, Newnan, Fayetteville, Stockbridge, McDonough, Conyers, and Lawrenceville.

Yes. Deck Builders Atlanta is fully licensed by the State of Georgia as a residential contractor and carries both general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. We provide certificates of insurance upon request before any project starts. All our work meets or exceeds Georgia Residential Building Code standards. We pull all permits under our contractor license — you are never responsible for permitting compliance.
We specialize exclusively in outdoor deck construction and related structures. Our services include: custom pressure-treated wood decks, composite decks (Trex, TimberTech AZEK, Fiberon), pool decks and patio surrounds, pergolas and covered decks, multi-level decks, wraparound decks, deck additions to existing structures, and complete deck replacements. We do not do plumbing, roofing, or general remodeling — decks are our only trade, which means every crew member is an expert in outdoor deck construction.
When hiring a deck builder in Atlanta, verify: (1) Georgia contractor license — check at the Georgia Secretary of State licensing portal; (2) general liability insurance of at least $1M; (3) workers' compensation coverage; (4) physical business presence in Metro Atlanta; (5) written, itemized estimates; (6) permit history — reputable builders pull permits on every job. Deck Builders Atlanta meets all of these criteria and will provide documentation before you sign any contract. Avoid any contractor who offers to skip the permit to save money — it creates serious legal liability for Atlanta homeowners.
Yes. A new deck is one of the highest-ROI home improvements for Atlanta homeowners. According to the National Association of Realtors, wood deck additions in the South return approximately 80% of their cost at resale. In competitive Atlanta neighborhoods like Buckhead, Brookhaven, Decatur, and Roswell, a well-built deck can add $15,000-$30,000 in appraised value. Composite decks often command a premium in the current Atlanta real estate market because buyers value low-maintenance outdoor living spaces. Atlanta's year-round mild climate means a deck is usable 10-11 months of the year, making it a strong selling feature.
Absolutely. In addition to new construction, we handle all types of deck repairs and replacements throughout Metro Atlanta, including: rotten board replacement, sagging structural repair, railing replacement (wood, cable, glass, and metal), re-decking with new surface boards over an existing frame, stair repairs, post replacement, full deck demolition and rebuild, and composite overlay over existing wood frames. If your deck was built before 2010, it may not meet current Georgia building codes — we can assess it for free and advise whether repair or full replacement is the better investment.
