Maybe the back door sits high above the yard with no way down. Or the old deck feels soft underfoot, and the railing wobbles. Georgia Premier Contracting Group is a deck builder serving Monroe and the towns around it. We build new wood decks and composite decks, and we replace decks that have worn out.
Stairs, railings, porches and small platforms are part of our deck building too. Decks are one side of our work, next to the concrete we pour as a concrete contractor in Monroe, GA. We work up to about 60 miles around Monroe, inside Georgia. Call or text (770) 743-6706, and we will look at the spot and put a free quote in writing.

Walton County's code lists termite damage here as very heavy and decay damage as moderate to severe. Rot and termites are what a wood deck has to stand up to. The residential code calls for deck lumber that is pressure-treated or naturally rot-resistant. Wood that touches the ground needs a ground-contact rating, and only some treated lumber carries one.
A pressure-treated wood deck takes stain or sealer well. It needs a cleaning and a fresh coat from time to time. Code calls for rust-resistant hardware in treated lumber, such as hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel.
Composite deck boards blend wood fiber and plastic. They skip the stain, though they still need a wash now and then. The frame under composite boards is usually treated wood, so the footing and framing rules apply to both.
Some decks need a board or two, and some are worn out from the frame down. Watch for boards that feel soft underfoot and posts rotting at the ground. Rusted hangers and a railing that wobbles are warning signs too. When several show up at once, deck replacement often makes more sense than patching.
Many decks hang off the house on a ledger, the board that ties the deck to the wall. Athens-Clarke County lists a wood deck construction guide among its adopted codes. That guide has the siding come off where the ledger goes, with flashing to shed water. When an old deck comes down, damaged siding there can be fixed with our siding replacement work.
We tear out the old deck, and our debris removal service hauls the old boards away. Replacing a deck can need a permit, the same as building one. Marietta, for one, lists deck replacement among the permit jobs people often miss. Under the deck guide, a new deck stays off-limits until it passes final inspection.
In Georgia, each city and county sets its own list of work that needs a permit. The City of Monroe lists decks on its building permit fee schedule, and Walton County lists open decks. Inside city limits, ask the City of Monroe Code Department before work starts. A Monroe mailing address outside city limits goes to Walton County Planning and Development.
Monroe's zoning ordinance counts decks as part of the house when it measures yard setbacks. So a deck has to fit inside the same setback lines as the house. Near a protected stream, the city's buffer rules treat a deck like pavement and keep it back from the bank.
Footing holes come first, and code puts footings at least 12 inches below undisturbed ground. Walton County's code lists a frost line depth of 12 inches. Georgia law calls for a request to Georgia 811 before anyone digs with powered equipment, like an auger. Georgia 811 asks for that request at least 3 business days ahead.
