Outdoor Space Built to Hold Up

Siding Installation & Replacement in Johns Creek

You need a deck that can handle daily use, Georgia heat, and the kind of rain that soaks everything in minutes. If you are adding outdoor living space to your Johns Creek home or commercial property, the structure has to be built right from the foundation up, with proper drainage, fastening, and lumber that resists rot and insect damage. A poorly built deck starts to sag, crack, or splinter within a few years, and fixing it later costs more than doing it right the first time.

Jordan Carpentry & Siding builds custom decks using wood and pressure-treated hardwood materials designed for outdoor living, entertaining, and everyday use. The work includes setting footings below the frost line, framing the structure to building code, and installing decking boards with proper spacing to allow for expansion and drainage. Every deck is designed to withstand Georgia climate conditions and built with an emphasis on structural integrity and clean finishes.

How a Deck Gets Built From the Ground Up

The process begins with laying out the footings and setting concrete piers that support the frame. Posts are attached to the piers, and beams are bolted to the posts to create a level platform. Joists are spaced according to code, and decking boards are fastened with corrosion-resistant screws or hidden fasteners, depending on your preference. Railings, stairs, and trim are added last to complete the structure.

When the work is finished, you will have a flat, solid surface that does not bounce, wobble, or feel unstable when people walk across it. The deck sheds water correctly, does not trap moisture against the house, and provides a stable platform for furniture, grills, and foot traffic without flexing or sagging.

Jordan Carpentry & Siding works on residential and commercial properties throughout Johns Creek and builds decks that meet local building codes and withstand years of use. The team uses pressure-treated lumber for framing and offers wood or composite options for decking boards, depending on your budget and maintenance preferences. This is not a weekend DIY project, but a permanent addition to your property that requires proper engineering and construction.

Common Concerns Before Building a Deck

Homeowners and property managers in Johns Creek often have questions about materials, permits, and long-term maintenance before starting a deck project. The answers below address the most common concerns before construction begins.

What type of wood should I use for a deck?
Pressure-treated pine is the most common choice for framing because it resists rot and insects. For decking boards, you can choose pressure-treated lumber, cedar, or composite materials, depending on how much maintenance you want to do over the years.
How long does it take to build a deck?
Most residential decks in Johns Creek are completed in one to two weeks, depending on the size, height, and complexity of the design. Commercial projects or elevated decks with stairs and multiple levels take longer and are scheduled based on scope.
Do I need a permit to build a deck?
You need a permit for most deck construction in Johns Creek, especially if the deck is attached to the house or elevated more than a few feet off the ground. Jordan Carpentry & Siding handles the permit process and ensures the deck meets local building codes.
Will a deck increase my property value?
You can expect a well-built deck to increase property value, especially in Johns Creek where outdoor living space is a selling feature. A solid, attractive deck adds usable square footage and makes the home more appealing to buyers.
How do I maintain a wood deck?
You should clean the deck annually, inspect for loose boards or fasteners, and apply a water-repellent stain or sealer every two to three years. Pressure-treated wood lasts longer when it is protected from prolonged moisture and UV exposure.
