Plan the project
A deck should feel solid from the footing to the railing.
Deck work combines structure, weather exposure and daily use. We review how the deck connects to the home, how water moves around it and which framing, surface or safety components are part of the requested project.
Plus Home Investment builds and repairs decks throughout Metro Atlanta. Projects may include a new platform, elevated deck, stairs, railings, surface replacement or focused repairs, with the exact scope based on existing conditions.

Built around the details
Structure, water and connections come first
A deck is more than surface boards. Footings, framing, fasteners, ledger or freestanding connections, flashing and drainage details all influence performance and safety.
Permit or design requirements vary with the location and scope. Those requirements should be identified before construction, especially for elevated decks, structural changes and major replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Important questions before starting your project
How do you determine whether a deck should be repaired or rebuilt?
The decision should be based on the framing, footings, ledger or freestanding supports, stairs, railings and extent of decay—not only the surface boards. Widespread structural damage can make repeated repairs a poor investment.
What should be inspected before replacing only the deck boards?
Joists, beams, posts, connections, flashing, fasteners and spacing should be reviewed first. New surface boards should not hide framing or water-management problems underneath.
What are the practical tradeoffs between pressure-treated wood and composite decking?
Wood usually has a lower initial material cost but requires ongoing maintenance. Composite often costs more initially, while offering different maintenance, heat, appearance and installation considerations.
When might a deck need drawings, engineering or a permit?
Requirements vary by property and jurisdiction. Deck height, size, structural changes, attachment to the house, stairs and major reconstruction can affect what documentation or approval is required.
