Decks Installs & Repairs
A deck's biggest risk isn't the visible boards — it's the ledger connection to the house and the footings underneath, the parts that fail silently and are behind most deck collapses. We build and repair decks with code-compliant ledger attachment and footing depth, and we actually check both on repairs instead of only replacing whatever board looks worst.
- Ledger board and footing condition checked on every repair, not just the decking
- Pressure-treated framing built to current code, including railing height and spacing
- Composite and wood decking options based on maintenance preference
Deck installs and repairs across Auburn, Hoover, and Atlanta — built on structure that's actually been checked, not just resurfaced.
Most deck failures trace back to two things that aren't visible from standing on top of the deck: the ledger board connection to the house, and the footings holding up the posts. A ledger that's improperly flashed lets water get behind it and rot the framing from the inside, and a deck that's been resting on undersized or frost-heaved footings can develop a lean long before any board looks obviously damaged. Replacing worn decking boards without checking either of these fixes the part you can see while leaving the actual risk in place. When we repair a deck, we check the ledger attachment and footing condition first, because that determines whether we're looking at a cosmetic fix or something structural. When we build a new deck, ledger flashing and footing depth are done to current code from the start — proper flashing tape and metal flashing where the ledger meets the house, footings poured below the frost line and sized for the actual load, and railing height and baluster spacing that meets code rather than just looking right. Decking material on top, composite or pressure-treated wood, is really the last decision in the process, not the first — the structure underneath it is what determines whether the deck is actually safe.
Our Core Services
Repair or Replace?
If your roof is under 15 years old and the damage is localized, repair almost always makes sense. Past 20 years, or with damage across multiple slopes, replacement is usually the cheaper long-term call. We tell you which one you're looking at before we quote it.
Materials
Architectural asphalt shingles as standard, with metal, tile, and impact-rated options available. We walk you through what actually holds up in your climate rather than what's sitting in the warehouse.
Timeline
Inspection within 48 hours of your call. Most repairs done same-week. A standard residential replacement takes one to two days start to finish, including cleanup and magnetic nail sweep.
What It Costs
Pricing depends on square footage, pitch, layers to remove, and decking condition. You get a written, itemized quote after the inspection — not a number over the phone we revise later.
