Built to Last Through Every Season

Professional deck construction and repair services for homeowners in Norcross, Georgia.

When your backyard in Norcross needs a functional outdoor space that can handle Georgia's humidity and afternoon sun, a well-built deck delivers both usability and visual appeal. Whether you're replacing rotted boards on an existing structure or planning a brand-new installation from the ground up, the framing, fasteners, and finish details make the difference between a deck that lasts and one that fails within a few seasons.

Brothers Carpentry & Painting builds new decks for single-family homes across Norcross and surrounding suburbs, using materials selected for their performance in heat and moisture. The process begins with site evaluation and layout planning, followed by structural framing that meets local load requirements, and finishes with decking installation and railing systems designed for long-term safety. Repair services address sagging joists, loose railings, and weathered surfaces that compromise both function and appearance.

What Goes Into a Deck That Holds Up

Building a deck in Norcross starts with confirming the layout, checking grading for drainage, and setting footings that resist settling. Framing is installed with galvanized hardware and proper joist spacing, followed by decking boards that are fastened securely and spaced to allow for expansion. Railings are installed to code height and tested for stability before the site is cleaned and inspected.

Once the work is finished, you'll notice a level surface that doesn't flex underfoot, railings that feel solid when gripped, and a structure that sheds water instead of trapping it. The deck becomes a usable extension of your home where furniture stays in place and family gatherings feel comfortable and safe.

Each project is completed with attention to the housing styles common across North Metro Atlanta, where older homes often lack outdoor living features and newer builds benefit from custom layouts. Job sites are kept organized throughout the build, and timelines are managed to reduce disruption to your daily routine while ensuring the framing and finish work meet the standards you expect.

Questions homeowners in Norcross often ask before moving forward

These are some of the most common questions from homeowners who are planning a new deck or evaluating whether their current structure can be repaired instead of replaced.

How long does it take to build a new deck?
Most residential deck builds in Norcross take between three and seven days, depending on size, elevation, and whether custom features like stairs or multi-level framing are included. Weather delays can extend the schedule, but you'll be notified if adjustments are needed.
What materials work best for decks in Georgia?
Pressure-treated lumber is the most common choice for framing and decking in this climate due to its resistance to moisture and insects. Composite options are also available for homeowners who want lower maintenance and consistent appearance over time.
When should a deck be repaired instead of rebuilt?
If the framing and support posts are still solid and only the surface boards or railings show wear, targeted repairs can extend the life of the structure. Once joists begin to sag or footings shift, a full replacement is usually the safer option.
What happens if the ground isn't level?
Grading issues are addressed during the planning phase by adjusting footing depths and using longer posts to level the frame. This keeps the finished deck stable and ensures proper water runoff away from the foundation.
How soon can I use the deck after installation?
You can walk on the deck as soon as the fasteners are set and railings are installed. If a stain or sealant is applied, you'll need to wait 24 to 48 hours before placing furniture or applying weight to the surface.
