Framing and Material Choices That Last

When you schedule a deck build in Cartersville, the crew starts by marking out the footprint, digging footings, and setting posts to code-required depths. The frame is built with pressure-treated joists spaced to prevent sagging, and the decking boards are fastened securely to reduce movement and warping. Railings are installed to meet height and spacing requirements, and stairs are built with proper rise and run for safe access.

Once the deck is finished, you will notice a solid surface that does not flex or bounce when you walk on it. The railings are stable, the boards are evenly spaced, and the structure is anchored to handle years of use without shifting or settling.

Reed Construction Services, LLC uses pressure-treated lumber for framing and decking unless you request a different material. The design is tailored to your property and includes steps, landings, or multiple levels if needed. This service does not include composite decking or custom staining, but it does deliver a functional, code-compliant deck built to support your outdoor living needs.

What to Know Before Building a Deck

Homeowners in Cartersville often have questions about permits, materials, and how long a deck will last. Here are answers to the most common questions about custom wood deck construction.

What kind of wood is used for decks?
Pressure-treated lumber is the standard choice for framing and decking because it resists rot and insect damage. It holds up well in Cartersville's climate and provides a long-lasting structure at a reasonable cost.
How long does it take to build a deck?
Most residential decks are completed in a few days to a week, depending on size and complexity. The timeline includes digging footings, building the frame, and installing the decking and railings.
Do you need a permit to build a deck?
Yes, most decks require a building permit to ensure the structure meets local codes for safety and load capacity. Reed Construction Services, LLC handles the permit process as part of the project.
How high off the ground can a deck be?
Deck height depends on your door elevation and yard slope. Railings are required if the deck is more than a certain height above grade, and stairs are built to code for safe access.
What maintenance does a wood deck need?
Pressure-treated decks should be cleaned periodically and resealed every few years to prevent moisture damage and surface wear. Proper maintenance extends the life of the wood and keeps the deck looking good.
