FAQs – Pergola and Covered Deck Builders in Atlanta
How much does a pergola or covered deck cost in Atlanta?
Most pergolas range from $4,000 to $12,000 depending on size and materials. Covered decks or full roof extensions may cost more based on complexity. We provide honest, all-in pricing.
Do these projects need a permit in Atlanta?
Yes. Shade structures often require permits. We handle all permitting and make sure everything complies with Atlanta code and HOA rules.
What’s the difference between a pergola and a covered deck?
Pergolas provide partial shade with open slats or beams. Covered decks have solid roofs that offer full protection from sun and rain. We build both.
Are pergolas good for Georgia weather?
Absolutely. We build using pressure-treated wood, composite, or aluminum options that can handle Atlanta’s heat, rain, and humidity.
Can I add a roof to my existing deck?
Yes. We retrofit solid roof covers and pergolas onto existing decks, as long as the framing supports it. We’ll inspect and advise during your consultation.
What add-ons are available?
We can install lighting, ceiling fans, curtains, privacy walls, and integrated seating — all customized to your deck.
