Free Estimate Visit with Breno
Breno comes out to your property in person to see your space and talk through what you want. He’ll look at the yard, note the trees, check the slope, and listen to how you plan to use the deck—whether for grilling, lounging, or getting to the garden. This visit is always free and comes with a written estimate that spells out the scope, materials, and next steps. You’ll get it in writing before anything else happens.
Roswell
Written Scope and Planning
After the visit, we put together a clear written scope that details everything included—footings, frame, decking, rails, stairs, and any staining or sealing you’ve asked for. This document makes sure we’re both on the same page before any work starts. If your project needs a permit or HOA approval, we’ll note that here and explain what you’ll need to provide. We never begin until you’ve reviewed and agreed to the scope.

Permit and HOA Paperwork
If your address in Roswell may need a city permit, we’ll point you to the City of Roswell so you can confirm what is required. We don’t file it for you, but we’ll make sure you know what’s needed so you can submit it with confidence. The same goes for HOA: if your subdivision in Brookfield West, Willow Springs, or Steeplechase has rules, we’ll help you understand where to go and what to submit. We build that step into the plan based on where you live.
Roswell
Footings and Frame
Once approvals are in place, we start with the footings—digging holes, setting posts, and pouring concrete to carry the load. The frame goes up next: beams, joists, and blocking, all laid out level and square. We pay close attention to the wooded, rolling terrain common in Roswell, adjusting for shade, moisture, and tree roots that can affect placement. Every connection is checked before we move on.
Roswell
Decking, Rails, and Stairs
With the frame solid, we lay the decking boards, leaving proper gaps for drainage and expansion. Then we build the rails to the height and style you chose, making sure they’re secure and smooth to the touch. If your design includes stairs, we frame them, set the treads and risers, and attach the rails. We work carefully around mature trees and sloping yards, common in areas near Holcomb Bridge Road and Canton Street, to keep the build safe and true to the plan.

Roswell
Final Walk-Through and Clean-Up
When the build is done, Breno walks the deck with you to check every detail—fasteners, finish, rail strength, stair comfort, and how it meets the house. We point out any care tips for staining or cleaning based on the materials used. Then we clean up the site, haul away debris, and leave your yard ready to enjoy. We stand behind our work for a full year, so if anything needs attention after, we’ll come back to make it right.
Straight answers
Roswell homeowner questions
Do I need to be home during the build?
You don’t need to be home every day, but we’ll check in with you at key points—after footings, before decking, and at the end. If you’re away, we can leave updates or photos. Just let Breno know how you’d like to stay in touch, and we’ll follow your preference.
What if I want to add screening later?
We can build the deck ready for screening—adding extra posts or framing where the panels will go—so it’s easier to enclose later. Many homeowners in historic Roswell or near the Chattahoochee Nature Center choose this option. Just mention it during the estimate visit, and we’ll include it in the scope.
How do you handle steep slopes or uneven ground?
We adjust the footing heights and frame layout to follow the contour of the yard, keeping the deck level and safe. In wooded areas like those west of GA-400, we work around trees and roots when we can. Every project gets a custom layout based on the lot’s shape and drainage.
Will staining be done as part of the build?
If you choose staining, we apply it after the decking is installed and cleaned, once the wood is ready to absorb the finish. We’ll talk about product types and colors during the estimate visit. Staining helps protect the wood from moisture and sun, which are the two main things that age decks here.
What happens if my HOA asks for changes?
If your HOA reviews the plans and asks for adjustments, we’ll update the scope and drawings accordingly—before any materials are ordered or work begins. We’ve worked with associations in Brookfield West, Willow Springs, and Steeplechase, and we know how to respond to common requests about height, color, or placement.
Do you remove old decks as part of a replacement?
Yes, when we replace a deck, we take down the old one, haul away the materials, and prep the site for the new build. We check the footings and frame of the old structure to see what can be reused, though most often we start fresh. This keeps the new deck safe and level on a clean base.
Can I use the deck while it’s being built?
No, for safety reasons, we ask that you keep off the deck until it’s fully complete and we’ve done the final walk-through. There are exposed edges, loose fasteners, and incomplete rails during construction. Once we sign off, it’s ready for furniture, grills, and regular use.
What makes a deck last longer in Roswell’s climate?
Good drainage, proper ventilation under the deck, and using materials suited to shade and moisture help a lot. We often see decks last longer when they’re built off the ground to allow air flow and when homeowners keep leaves and debris cleared. Regular cleaning and timely staining also make a difference. To talk it through, text or call Breno at 470-863-3707.
