Alpharetta
Free estimate visit with Breno
Breno comes to your home in person for a free written estimate. He walks the yard, listens to your goals, and checks the space where you want the deck. He looks at the house, the grade, and any trees or slopes that might affect the build. This visit helps us understand your needs without any obligation. You get a clear, written scope that outlines the work, materials, and process.
Alpharetta
Written scope and planning
After the visit, we provide a detailed written scope for your review. It shows the deck size, materials, railings, stairs, and any special features like a screened porch. We use this to plan for permits and HOA needs if they apply. You confirm the design before we move forward. This step makes sure everyone is on the same page before any work begins.
How it works
Five steps. No surprises.
Call, text, or send the form
Tell us what is going on: a new deck, a repair, or “not sure yet.” We reply the same day.
Free on-site visit
Breno looks at the deck or the yard himself, measures, and goes over your options with you.
Written estimate
Scope, materials and price come in writing, so you know the plan before anything starts.
Schedule and permits
We agree on a start date and confirm any city, county or HOA requirement for your address first.
Build and final walk-through

Alpharetta
Permit and HOA paperwork when needed
If your address requires it, we handle the permit through the City of Alpharetta’s permitting portal. We also work with your HOA for architectural review if your community has one. You tell us your neighborhood early so we can plan the approval steps. We check for stream buffers and tree rules, especially near specimen trees, and let you know what your specific address needs.
Alpharetta
Footings and frame
We start with digging and pouring concrete footings at the right depth and spacing. Then we build the pressure-treated frame, making sure it is level and square. The frame supports the entire deck, so we take care with connections and bracing. This stage sets the foundation for a safe, lasting structure.
Alpharetta
Decking, rails and stairs
Next, we install the decking boards, leaving proper gaps for drainage and expansion. We build the railings to the correct height and spacing, and construct the stairs with even treads and secure stringers. Every piece is fastened carefully. We pay attention to the edges and transitions where the deck meets the house or stairs.

Alpharetta
Final walk-through
When the deck is complete, we do a final walk-through with you. We check the surface, railings, stairs, and clean-up. You get a chance to walk the deck, test the stairs, and ask any last questions. We explain how to care for the deck and remind you of our one-year workmanship coverage. This is when you see the finished result and confirm it matches your vision.
Straight answers
Alpharetta homeowner questions
Does Breno come to my home in Alpharetta for the estimate?
Yes, Breno visits in person for every free written estimate. He comes to your property to see the space, discuss your ideas, and measure the area. This helps us give you an accurate scope.
How do I know if I need a permit for my deck in Alpharetta?
Permit needs depend on your address and the deck size, height, and location. We check the City of Alpharetta’s rules and tell you if a permit is required. You should also confirm with the city’s permitting portal.
What if my HOA in Windward or Broadlands wants to review the deck plans?
We work with your HOA if architectural review is needed. You tell us your neighborhood at the start, and we include the timeline for their approval. We do not speak for the HOA, but we help you get the plans ready.
Can trees on my property affect the deck build in Alpharetta?
Yes, if the deck impacts a specimen tree, the city may review it as part of the permit process. We check for tree-related constraints while planning. We also look at stream buffers if they apply to your lot.
Do you build decks near GA-400 or Webb Bridge Road in Alpharetta?
Yes, we serve homes throughout Alpharetta, including areas near GA-400 and Webb Bridge Road. Breno visits in person no matter where you are in the city.
What happens if I want a screened porch instead of an open deck?
We build screened porches the same way we build decks, with a frame, footings, and roof. We add screening and doors as part of the scope. The process from estimate to finish follows the same steps.
How do you handle slopes or uneven yards in Alpharetta?
We assess the grade during the free estimate visit. If the yard slopes, we adjust the footings and frame to keep the deck level. We use posts of different lengths or add steps as needed for safe access.
What is included in your one-year workmanship coverage?
We stand behind our work for a full year. This covers the installation of the deck, porch, rails, and stairs. If something relates to our workmanship, we will return to fix it. It does not cover weather damage or lack of maintenance. To talk it through, text or call Breno at 470-863-3707.
