Question Answers
What does your deck construction service include for Athens homeowners?
Our deck construction service covers everything from initial design to final inspection. We work with you to plan a custom deck that fits your property and lifestyle, whether it's a low-level deck for a small yard or a multi-tiered structure. We handle all permits and red tape required by Athens-Clarke County, and our 3-year craftsmanship guarantee gives you peace of mind. We also use materials suited to the local climate to prevent issues like warping or rot.
How do you handle deck repair and replacement in Athens?
For deck repair, we assess the damage, which often includes rotten boards, loose railings, or structural issues caused by moisture. We replace only what's needed, matching the style of your existing deck when possible. For full deck replacement, we remove the old structure and build a new one from the ground up. In both cases, we address underlying problems like poor drainage or inadequate supports to prevent future damage, and we can integrate features like pergolas or privacy screens.
How do you prevent rusting fence hardware and post erosion, common issues in Athens?
We tackle these local problems head-on. For rusting hardware, we use galvanized or stainless steel fasteners and hinges that resist corrosion from Athens' humidity and rain. To prevent fence post erosion, we set posts in concrete with proper drainage, ensuring they stay secure in the area's clay soil. We also recommend regular inspections and can apply protective coatings if needed. This approach extends the life of your fence and saves you from costly repairs down the road.
