How the job unfolds

The exact steps depend on the job. These are the ones that come up most:

• Confirm permit and setback requirements, choose the deck’s dimensions and materials, and arrange for underground utilities to be located before digging.
• Lay out the deck perimeter and beam locations with a string line, then dig footings sized for their loads and local depth requirements and fill them with concrete or use concrete form tubes.
• Assemble the perimeter frame with joist crowns facing up; square and align the frame before fastening joists to beams with structural ties or clips and securing joist ends with hangers.
• Add blocking where needed for stability and railing posts, brace the frame as needed, and apply flashing tape to protect framing surfaces from moisture.
• Trim and install deck boards, use the fastening method suited to the boards, and periodically check board alignment and spacing.
• Build the stair frame to the planned step dimensions, account for the added height of the decking, support the stairs with posts or a concrete landing, and install the treads.

What this work typically uses

• strings, stakes and batter boards
• footings and concrete
• joists, beams, posts, and hardware
• ledger board flashing

What we commit to

Local Marietta projects start with measuring the space and settling the layout and materials before anyone talks price. You get the plan in plain language, a written scope with the price on it, with no pressure to decide on the spot. When a simpler build would do the job, we'll say so.
