New decks · Dunwoody, GA
Building a deck in Dunwoody
Ready for a Dunwoody deck you will actually use?
For homeowners in Dunwoody, a new deck means extra living area without remodeling. We construct them in wood, composite and mixed materials, with the stairs and railing to match. You will deal with one person from first walkthrough to crew supervision, because whoever prices your job also runs it.
In Dunwoody, a new deck often has to work around a creek buffer and mature trees, so we map the usable area first and design the deck to fit it.
Dunwoody is an established suburb just northeast of Atlanta, with older neighborhoods such as Dunwoody North and Dunwoody Club Forest and newer subdivisions mixed in. Most of the housing is single-family, and many homes have mature landscaping that a deck needs to work with.
Questions from Dunwoody North and Dunwoody Club Forest homeowners vary, from the look of the railing to the amount of sun and shade the deck gets. A visit to the property clears up most of them.

From bare ground to finished deck
A new deck, built to fit your yard
Real B&T projects, from framing to finished boards, rails and stairs. A deck is judged on both the part you see and the part you do not.
Genuine shots of our North Georgia projects follow, and they may come from somewhere other than Dunwoody.
Price & estimate
What a new deck costs in Dunwoody
Homeowners often search for "deck building cost per square foot", but a single per-foot number hides more than it shows. Footings, stairs, railing, a sloped lot and the choice between pressure-treated wood and composite all move the total. The total changes a lot from one deck to the next. After a visit to your Dunwoody yard you get a written number for your deck, not an average.
What is included
What a new deck project covers
- Decking in pressure-treated wood or composite, your choice
- Footings, framing and a properly flashed connection to the house, or a freestanding frame when attaching is not practical
- A walk-through of the finished deck with the owner
- A clear heads-up on any permit or HOA step before the schedule is set
Signs to look for
Is it time for a new deck?
Skip the blueprints for now. Should one of these match your situation, photos are all we need to begin a conversation about what to do.
- You step out the back door onto bare ground, a concrete stoop or a small landing
- The patio you have is too small for the family or for company
- The house is being sold or refinished and outdoor space would add real value
- You want railings and stairs designed with the deck instead of added later
DeKalb County · terrain & local rules
Local conditions in Dunwoody
Dunwoody has many residential lots that intersect 75-foot stream buffers, so creeks and drainage areas can limit buildable space. Mature trees and sloping yards add to the planning.
Dunwoody has a 75-foot stream buffer with restrictions on land disturbance and tree removal, and tree removal rules apply in certain cases, especially within the buffer. We check the parcel before pricing.
Many Dunwoody homes have the original deck from the house's first decades; replacing it lets you reconfigure the space and choose materials that last.
Areas you may know in Dunwoody include Dunwoody North, Dunwoody Club Forest, Brooke Farm and Dunwoody Village. Main routes through the area include Chamblee Dunwoody Road, Mount Vernon Road and Peachtree Dunwoody Road.
Materials & options
Composite or pressure-treated wood: choosing the boards
There is no wrong answer between wood and composite, just different trade-offs. Wood keeps the starting price down and gives you a natural grain. Composite costs more up front to save you the sanding, sealing and splinters later. Many Dunwoody homeowners land on a hybrid, with a treated-wood frame, composite decking boards and a railing in aluminum, composite or wood.

Straight answers · Dunwoody, GA
Who builds decks in Dunwoody, and what does it involve?
Short answer: B&T Properties handles new deck builds around Dunwoody North and Dunwoody Club Forest, and anywhere else in Dunwoody. The owner looks over the yard in person and sits down with you on dimensions, decking type, stairs and rails, then hands you a no-cost estimate that lists every piece of the job. A text with a picture to +1 470 863 3707 gets a reply that day.
How much does deck building cost in Dunwoody?
It varies with the size and design, so we price each deck after seeing the yard. Wood and composite are priced separately so you can compare, and the estimate is free and in writing. Stairs, railing and footings can matter as much as the square footage.
I am looking for a deck builder near me in Dunwoody. Does B&T serve my address?
A new deck starts with a short visit to the yard, and those visits are spread across our whole service area. Our service area takes in Dunwoody as well as Sandy Springs, Brookhaven and Roswell. We would rather say yes or no up front than keep you guessing.
Who handles permits for a new deck in Dunwoody?
A brand-new deck is the kind of project that most often needs a permit and an inspection, so that is the first thing we sort out. A new deck or a replacement deck may need a building permit, so please confirm with the City of Dunwoody's Community Development permits and inspections. Single-family projects are reviewed by the city, and we tell you what yours will need. We check first so the job does not stall halfway.
Should I choose composite or pressure-treated wood for my deck in Dunwoody?
Neither is a mistake. The wood route keeps the first bill smaller, while composite saves you effort over the years because there is little to do beyond washing. What matters most is that the frame is built right either way, and a treated frame topped with composite decking is a common middle path.
How long does it take to build a deck in Dunwoody?
A small low deck and a large two-level deck with stairs are very different timelines. After the visit we put an expected schedule in writing, and we tell you early about anything that could move it, such as permit review or a wet week.
Is B&T's deck work under warranty?
Ask when you request your estimate. Instead of promising something over the phone, we give the answer in writing, and you have it in hand before you commit. As for materials, warranty coverage is handled by the manufacturers, and it is not the same across products, composite lines and rails included.
Does my Dunwoody HOA need to approve a new deck?
A new deck is one of the changes an association may want to see on paper before anything is built. Many Dunwoody neighborhoods have associations, and some require architectural approval for exterior structures. Tell us your neighborhood and we will plan for that step. Knowing the rules early saves a second trip to the drawing board.
Can you build on a sloped lot?
Yes, hillsides come with the territory in North Georgia. Our answer is usually taller supports, more footings or a deck that steps down the hill instead of staying level in one piece. Seeing the lot ourselves lets the estimate match the true grade.
Do I need railings, and how high do they have to be?
Building codes often require guards on raised decks, and the exact requirements depend on the local code, so please confirm with the county. We design railing and stairs along with the deck, so they are part of the estimate.
How does the terrain in Dunwoody affect a new deck?
Slope, shade and soil decide how high a new deck sits and how many footings it needs. Dunwoody has many residential lots that intersect 75-foot stream buffers, so creeks and drainage areas can limit buildable space. Tell us what the yard does after a hard rain and we take it from there.
Do you build new decks in Dunwoody, GA?
Yes. B&T Properties builds new wood and composite decks for Dunwoody homeowners, from footings and framing to railing and stairs. Our work carries a 1-year workmanship warranty, and the estimate is free and in writing. Text or call (470) 863-3707.
