Rebuilding without wrecking the landscaping
Many Dunwoody homes have mature trees, shrubs and garden beds that have grown up around the deck. A careless tear-out can crush roots, break limbs and leave the yard looking worse than the old deck did. Planning where materials are staged and how debris leaves the property is part of doing a replacement properly.
We map access before demolition starts, protect beds and lawn where crews and materials will move, and keep new footings away from major roots where the design allows. When a tree sits close to the deck, its location can shape where posts go and how the new footprint is drawn.

Creeks, drainage and where the new deck can sit
Many residential lots in Dunwoody intersect stream buffers, and the city restricts land disturbance and tree removal within them. A new deck that grows larger, moves closer to a creek or needs new footings in a drainage area can run into those limits, even if the old deck sat there for a long time.
We look at your parcel before the estimate is written, so the replacement plan reflects what is likely to work on your lot. Sometimes the right answer is rebuilding in the existing footprint; other times a small shift away from a drainage area makes both the deck and the yard work better.

Inspections and the permit path
Replacement decks in Dunwoody are handled through the city's Community Development permits and inspections. What your project needs depends on the address and the design, so we confirm the requirements with you before work is scheduled rather than discovering them halfway through.
Inspections typically look at footings, framing, the house connection and the finished deck. Building to pass those checkpoints is simpler than fixing problems after the fact. We plan the sequence of work so each stage is ready to be seen before it gets covered up.

Fixing what the old deck got wrong
Older decks often share the same weak points: a ledger nailed to the house with little or no flashing, posts set directly in the soil, undersized joists and railings that were never properly anchored. A full replacement is the moment to correct those details instead of repeating them in new wood.
It is also a chance to rethink the layout. A wider dining area, stairs that land closer to the patio, or a deck that steps down in two levels can make the space far more useful. We sketch options with you so the new deck reflects how your household actually uses the back yard.
Dunwoody
Neighborhood approvals and the look of the new deck
Many Dunwoody neighborhoods have associations, and some require architectural approval for exterior structures. A new deck with a different footprint, railing style or material may need to go through that review, depending on the community.
Tell us your neighborhood at the start, and we will prepare drawings and material details for any submission. Composite decking, painted rails or metal balusters can change the look of the back of the house, so it helps to have the association on board before the order is placed.

How a replacement works with us
Breno visits personally to look at the old deck, the house connection, the trees and the drainage around it. Our Free Deck Health Check gives you written notes on the existing structure, so you know whether a repair could still work or a full replacement is the honest call. You then get a free written estimate with the complete scope.
We stand behind our finished work for a full year. We replace decks in Dunwoody North, Dunwoody Club Forest and Brooke Farm, for homes along Chamblee Dunwoody Road and Mount Vernon Road, and in nearby Sandy Springs, Brookhaven and Roswell.
Straight answers
Dunwoody homeowner questions
A big oak sits right next to our old deck. Can the new one work around it?
Usually, yes. We plan footings and the new footprint to avoid major roots where possible. Tree rules in Dunwoody can apply in certain cases, so we check before any removal is considered.
Our back yard has a creek. Can we make the new deck bigger?
It depends on where the stream buffer falls on your lot. Expanding toward a creek can be restricted, so we review your parcel before drawing a larger deck.
Will the city inspect the replacement deck?
Replacement decks go through Dunwoody permits and inspections. The specific requirements depend on your address and design, and we confirm them before scheduling work.
Can we keep our old footings and just rebuild on top?
Only if they are sound and suit the new design. Many older footings are too shallow or in the wrong place, so we evaluate them before deciding.
Does Dunwoody Club Forest or Dunwoody North need to approve a new deck?
Some Dunwoody associations require architectural approval for exterior structures. Check with your association early, and we can provide drawings and product details.
How do you protect our garden beds during demolition?
We plan access paths, cover beds and lawn where materials move, and remove debris in a way that avoids dragging it across planted areas.
Can the new deck have two levels instead of one?
Yes. A two-level deck can follow a sloping yard and create separate dining and lounging areas. We design the levels around the grade and the doors.
What happens if the house wall behind the ledger is damaged?
Once the old ledger is removed, we inspect the sheathing and framing behind it. Any damage is explained before the new ledger is installed with proper flashing.
Do you replace decks near Dunwoody Village and Peachtree Dunwoody Road?
Yes. We work throughout Dunwoody, including homes near Dunwoody Village and Peachtree Dunwoody Road, and across DeKalb County nearby.
