Johns Creek
A Clean Slate, Not Just a Copy
Many homeowners assume a replacement deck has to match the old one. It does not. The old deck may have been sized for a different family, built around a grill spot that no longer matters or attached with stairs that dump you into the wrong part of the yard. Replacement is the one moment when changing those things is simple, because everything is coming out anyway.
We start by asking how you actually use the outdoor space now. Do you need room for a dining table and a lounge area? Would a second level or a wider stair make the yard easier to reach? Is there a spot that gets too much afternoon sun? The answers shape a layout that suits the way you live today instead of the way the original builder guessed you might.

What Happens During Tear-Out
Removing a deck is more than pulling boards. Railings, decking, joists, beams and posts come apart in order, and the ledger is detached from the house carefully so the siding and the house rim can be inspected. Old footings are evaluated, and in many cases new footings are set where the new layout needs them.
The moment the ledger comes off is an important one. It shows whether water got behind the old deck and into the house framing. If we find damage there, we show it to you and explain what it means before the new deck goes on, so the new structure is attached to solid material.

Johns Creek
Fitting a New Deck Around Stream Buffers and Trees
Johns Creek has gently rolling terrain with wooded lots and stream corridors, and stream buffers are a major land-development constraint across the city. The city documents an undisturbed stream buffer plus an additional setback where impervious surface is prohibited, along with controls on tree removal. On a lot with a creek, those rules can decide where a new deck fits and how large it can be.
An existing deck that sits close to a creek may not be allowed to grow, and in some cases the layout has to shift. We look at your parcel early so the design reflects what is actually allowed, instead of drawing a plan that runs into trouble at permit review.

Design Review in Country-Club Communities
Johns Creek is known for golf and country-club communities such as Country Club of the South, St. Ives Country Club and Medlock Bridge, and many of the larger subdivisions are HOA-managed with design review. A replacement deck that changes size, color, rail style or materials will often need to be submitted before work starts.
Send us the details of your community early, and we will help you assemble drawings, material choices and color samples for the submission. Many homes here have outdoor spaces that were planned as part of the house, so we pay attention to how the new deck relates to the architecture, trim and landscaping around it.
Johns Creek
Permits Through the City
Deck permits in Johns Creek are handled by the city's Community Development building and permitting division. A full replacement usually involves new structure, so we tell you what your address needs and walk you through the permit step before work is scheduled.
Inspections are part of that process, and they protect you as much as anyone. A replacement deck built to pass inspection gives you confidence that the footings, framing and connections are right, which matters for a structure your family will use for a long time.

Planning Your Replacement With Us
Breno visits in person, looks at the existing deck, the house connection and the yard, and talks through layout ideas with you. If you are not sure whether replacement is needed, our Free Deck Health Check gives you written notes on the current deck so you can decide with clear information. When you are ready, you receive a free written estimate that separates tear-out, structure, decking, rails and stairs.
Once your new deck is finished, we stand behind our finished work for a full year. We replace decks for homes off State Bridge Road, Jones Bridge Road and McGinnis Ferry Road across Fulton County, and in nearby Alpharetta, Milton and Cumming.
Straight answers
Johns Creek homeowner questions
Does a replacement deck in Johns Creek have to keep the same footprint?
Not necessarily. You can often change the shape, size or stairs, as long as the new layout fits stream buffer, setback and tree rules for your lot and any community design review.
What do you look for when the old ledger comes off the house?
We check the house rim and siding for water damage and rot. If we find a problem, we show you and explain the fix before the new deck is attached.
Can a creek behind my house limit how big the new deck can be?
Yes. Johns Creek has stream buffer and setback rules near creeks, and they can limit where a deck goes and how much it can grow. We check your parcel early in the design.
How do I get a new deck approved by a country-club design committee?
Send us your community guidelines early. We help prepare drawings, material selections and color samples so your submission is complete.
Can a replacement deck move the stair to a better spot in a wooded lot?
Often yes. Replacement is the easiest time to move a stair so it lands closer to a patio, path or lawn area. We plan it with your slope and lot rules in mind.
Can the footings under an old Johns Creek deck be reused for the new one?
Sometimes, but only if they are sound and in the right spots for the new layout. Many replacements need some or all new footings.
How is a mature Johns Creek yard protected while an old deck is torn out?
We plan how materials come out and where they are staged to limit disturbance. Some impact near the deck is normal, and we talk through it before work begins.
Which office reviews the permit for a Johns Creek deck replacement?
The city's Community Development building and permitting division handles deck permits. We tell you what your address needs and walk you through the application and inspections.
Do you replace decks near Medlock Bridge and St. Ives as well?
Yes. We work across Johns Creek, including Medlock Bridge, St. Ives Country Club and Country Club of the South, and in nearby Alpharetta, Milton and Cumming.
