Your Backyard Has More Potential.

An outdated or poorly designed deck can make your backyard feel underused and disconnected from your home. Cramped layouts, worn materials, and high maintenance can turn what should be a relaxing space into a constant project.

With thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship, your outdoor space can become one of the most enjoyable areas of your home.

"I am thrilled to share my positive experience with Builder's America following the replacement of my deck. The project was a complete teardown that added 320 square feet of beautiful, covered and screened-in space. Builder's America truly exceeded our expectations in every way.

From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, Builder's America demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise. They listened carefully to our needs and preferences, offering valuable insights and suggestions that enhanced the final design. The quality of the build is outstanding, and the attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the finished deck. The Trex decking is not only beautiful but also durable and low-maintenance, a perfect choice for our lifestyle."

FAQs

How much does it cost to build a custom deck in Metro Atlanta?

Custom deck costs in Metro Atlanta typically range from $18,000 to $80,000+ depending on size, materials, elevation, and design complexity. Premium composites (Trex, MoistureShield), PVC, and Brazilian hardwood decks cost more upfront than pressure-treated lumber but require significantly less maintenance and last decades longer. Builders America provides a project-specific quote with multiple options for your consideration, including any covered, enclosed, screened-in, or multi- level features.

What is the best decking material for Georgia's climate?

The best decking materials for Georgia's hot, humid summers and heavy UV exposure are high-performance composites (such as Trex and MositureShield), PVC systems, and Brazilian hardwoods like Ipe. These resist warping, fading, rot and bugs (including carpenter bees) far better than pressure-treated pine. While pressure treated decking is the lowest initial cost, Builders America recommends premium materials selected for long-term performance and lowest cost of ownership over the life of your deck.

 How long does it take to build a custom deck?

Most custom deck projects in Metro Atlanta take 4 to 8 weeks from permit approval to final walkthrough. Design, engineering, and permitting typically take 2–4 weeks.  Covered decks, multi-level designs, and screened additions extend the timeline.

 Do I need a permit to build a deck in Metro Atlanta?

Yes — every Metro Atlanta jurisdiction, including Fulton, Cobb, Cherokee, Forsyth, Dekalb, and Gwinnett counties, requires a building permit for new attached decks, particularly when above a certain height or set on permanent footings. Builders America manages the full permit process, ensuring designs meet local code, IRC requirements, and HOA architectural guidelines.

How long does a custom deck last?

A properly designed deck built with composite, PVC, or Brazilian hardwood typically lasts 25 to 50+ years with minimal maintenance. Standard pressure-treated pine decks require regular maintenance/staining, and often need major repair or replacement within 12–16 years. Lifespan also depends on structural framing, fastener quality, and flashing — all of which Builders America specifies for durability in Georgia's climate.

Can you build a covered or screened deck?

Yes. Builders America designs and builds covered decks, sunrooms, screened porches, and multi-level deck systems throughout Metro Atlanta and North Georgia. Covered decks add year-round shade and protect furniture from rain and UV; screened additions create bug-free outdoor living space. Sunrooms with glass or Flex-Vinyl windows keep out the rail and pollen while extending the season to nearly year-round. Any of these structures can be added to a new construction deck or patio and often added to an existing deck or outdoor space.

Will a new deck increase my home's value?

Yes — a well-designed, high-quality deck is consistently one of the highest-ROI home improvements, typically recouping 60–75% of the project cost at resale. Beyond resale, a custom deck adds usable living square footage and significantly improves day-to-day enjoyment of the home. Design quality, materials, and craftsmanship influence long-term value more than size alone.

 Do you repair or replace old or unsafe decks?

We can do either.  As a NADRA-certified deck evaluator (North American Deck and Railing Association), Builders America will assess an existing deck's safety and recommend repair, partial rebuild, or full replacement. Repairs may be an easy way to add life to an existing structure and increase safety. If we recommend a full replacement, we’ll show you why that’s needed and identify current and future safety concerns. Our crews regularly perform full deck teardowns and rebuilds across Metro Atlanta, often expanding the footprint and adding covered or screened areas in the process.
