Every deck is different depending on design, square footage, features, etc. Your design consultant will help you choose exactly the right deck for maximum outdoor enjoyment. Prices can range from $8,000 to $25,000+ or more depending on your wishes and budget.

Based on the size of your deck, an average project may take anywhere from a few days to 2 weeks. Larger projects may take longer.

We find that a high quality pressure-treated lumber (specifically pine) still makes a very pretty deck. Cedar seems to have had its heyday for use as a decking material. Cedar makes a very pretty deck when first complete, however this wood is quite soft and can deteriorate faster. Many people want and expect better performance out of their deck. PVC-capped composite decking is on the rise. Some of these products have the look and feel of plastic or vinyl. While the decks may be nice and require less maintenance (there is no such thing as ‘maintenance free’), anybody who has had a deck built with this material is never asked, “Is this a wood deck?” There are several manufacturers of these products. Many of the companies are very new to this industry and boast warranties that they may not be in business long enough to make good on, if necessary.

Unlike other deck and fence contractors in Atlanta or home supply retailers, Atlanta Decking & Fence Co. never uses stock deck designs. Every deck is custom designed and tailored to your unique needs and desires. You can also choose from a variety of design details including different deck shapes and patterns, inlays, unique railing styles including copper, illumination for the evening, etc.

Expect to budget 30 – 50% more for composite deck material than real hardwood.

It depends on the manufacturer. Composite materials range from recycled plastic bags and milk jugs to recycled plastics, vinyl, and aluminum.

Shortly after your wood deck is built (approximately 30 days), you will need to seal the deck with a high quality wood sealer. This can also provide a finish with color for the deck since the stain and sealer are the same color. After that, we recommend staining and sealing your deck on an annual basis. MFG Sealant and ReadySeal are manufacturers of great deck sealers that we often use and recommend.
