Built in Marietta, for Marietta Backyards

Why We Started Marietta GA Deck Builders

Too many homeowners in Cobb County have a story about a deck contractor who disappeared mid-job, quoted one number and invoiced another, or skipped the permit and left the homeowner holding the risk at resale. Marietta GA Deck Builders exists because that shouldn't be the standard. We're a Marietta-based crew focused on one thing: building decks, screened porches, and pergolas that are permitted correctly, priced honestly, and built to actually survive a Georgia summer.

We won't pretend to be a decades-old institution — we're not, and we'd rather tell you that upfront than dress up the site with numbers we can't back. What we can promise is a real person who answers the phone, a written estimate that doesn't change after the fact, and a crew that treats your yard like it's the last job of the day, not the fifth.

Built for Marietta's Specific Conditions — Not a National Template

Decks in Marietta and throughout Cobb County almost always need a permit, and anything attached to the house or elevated more than a step typically needs engineered plans that satisfy Georgia Building Code. We handle the drawings, the permit application, and every inspection along the way — that part of the process is entirely on us, not something you have to chase down.

We also pay close attention to details that matter more here than almost anywhere else in the country: hardware sized for our humid, high-pollen summers, drainage and airflow that keep moisture from rotting joists from the inside out, and footing depths sized to Cobb County's red clay soil and the grading on our region's rolling, often sloped lots.

What We Won't Do

• We won't quote a number we can't hold. The written estimate is the price — no fuel surcharges, no "while we're in there" upsells sprung on you mid-project.
• We won't skip the permit to save time. An unpermitted deck is a liability you inherit, and it can stall a home sale years down the line. We pull the permit every time it's required, full stop.
• We won't leave your yard a mess. Materials get staged carefully, scrap gets hauled off daily, and we walk the site with you at the end — not just a text saying it's done.

Where We Build

Our home base is Marietta, and that's where most of our current projects are — from the historic homes ringing downtown Marietta Square to the newer neighborhoods off Sandy Plains Road and Roswell Road in East Cobb. We also take on projects in Kennesaw, Smyrna, Powder Springs, Vinings, Mableton, Austell, and Acworth. If your address is within about a 25-minute drive of the Marietta Square, there's a good chance we can build your deck.
