Marietta's tree-heavy neighborhoods and generous lots are ideal deck territory — but the mature canopy that makes East Cobb and West Cobb desirable also creates decades of shade moisture, leaf accumulation, and organic debris that accelerate wood deterioration. Decks built in the 1990s throughout Marietta are now 25–30 years old, and structural issues in ledger connections and post footings are increasingly common even when the surface boards still look passable.

Cobb County requires permits for new decks and structural replacements — we handle the application, coordinate inspections, and know the county's review process, which keeps your project on schedule rather than stalled in a permit queue.

What to Expect — Investment Range

Deck projects in Greater Atlanta typically range from $12,000 for a basic pressure-treated replacement to $45,000+ for a large composite deck with pergola, built-in seating, and premium railing.

Marietta projects typically land in the mid-to-upper portion of that range, reflecting the neighborhood expectations and the quality of finish that protects home values in this market.

Decks with soft or spongy boards typically have rotted joists or a deteriorated ledger connection — a structural safety issue that needs assessment before the next season.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a decks project take in Marietta?

A standard deck replacement typically takes 3–5 days once materials are on-site. New builds with pergolas, stairs, and custom railing run 1–2 weeks. Permit approval adds 1–2 weeks to the start date — we factor that into the schedule upfront.

My home is a 1980s colonial in East Cobb — what should I know before starting a renovation?

East Cobb colonials from the 1980s are solid homes, but they carry the hallmarks of their era: galley kitchens, fiberglass bathroom surrounds, aluminum wiring in some cases, and original HVAC systems that may need updating when walls are opened. We always assess these conditions upfront so we can budget accurately and avoid mid-project surprises.

Yes — we handle all permitting for projects in Cobb County. We prepare the documentation, submit the application, schedule all required inspections, and keep you informed at each stage. You don't need to manage the permit process — that's part of what you're hiring us to do.
