Outdoor Living Space Contractors in Johns Creek, GA

A custom composite deck in Johns Creek typically runs between $15,000 and $45,000, depending on the size, materials, and complexity of the design. A standard 300-square-foot Deckorators composite deck starts around $15,000, while multi-level designs with integrated outdoor kitchens, cable railing, and lighting systems push into the $35,000 to $45,000 range. Composite decking costs more upfront than pressure-treated wood, but Johns Creek homeowners save thousands over the deck's lifetime by eliminating annual staining, sealing, and board replacements. For properties in neighborhoods like Country Club of the South and St. Ives, a well-designed composite deck consistently delivers strong ROI at resale.

An under-deck drainage system is a network of troughs and gutters installed beneath elevated deck boards that captures rainwater and diverts it away from the space below. The system creates a dry, finished ceiling under your deck, turning what would otherwise be wasted ground-level space into a usable outdoor room. Once installed, homeowners add furniture, ceiling fans, lighting, and even outdoor televisions to the space beneath the deck. We install Trex RainEscape and custom ceiling systems throughout Johns Creek — it's one of the most requested upgrades for homes with walkout basements along the Chattahoochee corridor.

Yes, we're certified Trex RainEscape installers and have completed dozens of under-deck drainage projects across Johns Creek. RainEscape uses a trough-and-downspout membrane system that mounts directly to the deck joists, channeling water to a gutter at the perimeter. Compared to rigid panel systems, RainEscape is quieter during rain, easier to maintain, and integrates cleanly with finished ceiling treatments like tongue-and-groove PVC panels. We pair every RainEscape installation with recessed LED lighting and optional ceiling fan wiring so the space below your deck is ready to use from day one.

Absolutely. Architectural stone veneer is one of the highest-impact upgrades you can make to a Johns Creek home's curb appeal. We install manufactured and natural stone veneer over existing siding, foundation walls, columns, and outdoor kitchen islands. Modern veneer products are engineered to bond permanently to properly prepared substrates and withstand Georgia's freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or delaminating. The best part is durability — stone veneer requires virtually zero maintenance beyond an occasional rinse with a garden hose, and it won't fade, rot, or attract pests like wood or vinyl alternatives.

For Johns Creek properties, cable railing systems are the most popular choice because they provide unobstructed views of landscaped backyards and wooded lots without sacrificing safety. We also install aluminum and composite railing systems from Deckorators that match the deck boards for a seamless, low-maintenance finish. Every railing system we install meets or exceeds Georgia building code requirements for height, spacing, and load capacity. During your design consultation, we'll walk through material samples and show you how each option looks on homes similar to yours in the Johns Creek area.

We handle the full HOA approval process for Johns Creek homeowners. That means preparing architectural review submissions with professional renderings, material specifications, color selections, and site plans — everything the review board needs to approve your project on the first pass. We've worked with HOAs across Johns Creek, including Country Club of the South, St. Ives, Shakerag, and Rivermont, so we know what each community expects. We also pull all City of Johns Creek building permits and coordinate inspections, giving you a single point of contact from design through completion.

A custom outdoor kitchen in Johns Creek typically takes 2 to 4 weeks to build after design approval and permitting. The first week focuses on foundation, framing, and running gas, water, and electrical lines. Weeks two and three cover stone veneer or masonry work, countertop fabrication and installation, and appliance fitting. If the project includes a covered structure or roof extension, add another week for framing and roofing. We build weather buffer time into every schedule — North Georgia afternoon storms are always a factor. Permitting and HOA review typically add 2 to 3 weeks on the front end, which we manage for you.
