Decksouth truly helped make our backyard dreams come true!! From the first day we met with the owner John Lea we knew we chose the right company to help us redesign our new deck and patio! The plans they came up with blew us away and the final product exceeded our expectations! We loved working with everyone involved in our project. Amancio , our main design carpentar was amazing , attention to detail and hard working! Graham, our project manager, went above and beyond to make sure all the details were taken care of! As with any project, you can run into unexpected issues and changes, but every time we had to reach out with questions ( and there were a lot :) Graham professionally handled our requests and was so much fun and a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for an upgrade on a higher end deck project then look no future than Decksouth, you will not be disappointed! Thanks Decksouth for creating a new space for our family to enjoy for many years to come!!!

Decksouth delivered outstanding results. Our project was fairly extensive and included a deck with a stone outdoor kitchen, an outdoor chimney and an expanded downstairs patio area. The entire process from design, permitting, construction through completion was handled very professionally. John, Marcelino, Jorge and the entire Decksouth team were a pleasure to work with which made for a very good experience. The result was a great design with exceptional workmanship and quality. The compliments we receive from our family and friends validate those results. I would highly recommend Decksouth for your project.

John and his team are first class, delivered on their promises, super responsive with any questions that I had, and most importantly was a trusted advisor during the entire process. I am glad we invested in a professional team, my wife and kids love the new outdoor living space!

We used Decksouth to replace an old wood deck with a larger deck using composite decking. Not only did we replace the deck we added additional living space below. Everyone that comes over is also so impressed. The details they put into design and the finished product are what sets them apart. It’s not something you can put your finger on but you feel it when you experience the space. The Decksouth team was wonderful all around. I couldn’t have imagined a better experience. These days it’s rare when someone exceeds your expectations. They did just that. Now that we have been using our space we decided it was time to do more. They were the first people we reached out too. We are working with them to build an outdoor kitchen and finish our basement with a media room, bar, wine cellar, and gym. If you are looking to create a unique and beautiful outdoor experience, Decksouth is who you want to use. They don’t just build decks they design and build a complete experience for adding to your home.

DeckSouth deserves better than just a 5 star rating. They were outstanding in every aspect of their deck building. They built a 50' x 15' trex deck for us which was 10' above ground level. They also finished the area underneath the deck with a beautiful tongue and groove ceiling. The staircase came out just beautiful too. Their attention to detail is beyond words. Their workmanship is the finest in the industry. The subs they have are outstanding. Lamar and John were so helpful in every aspect of the building of this deck and we are so appreciative. We are so excited to show the deck and terrace level to all our friends and entertain in style ! Really nice to engage with a professional, top--notch company who delivers way beyond what was expected. You cannot go wrong with DeckSouth.

Simply the best in Atlanta. Decksouth has done multiple projects for my family and extended family over the past 12 + years. The most recent was our covered deck and outdoor living area. John Lea and Decksouth created an amazing design and delivered as promised. When issues arose with weather, they figured it out and fixed with professionalism. The crews are hard working and courteous. I would highly recommend if you are planning a high end outdoor experience.

The Decksouth team are true masters of the outdoor living trade. The entire experience was flawless: from the first site visit ,to the last clean up after the job was complete and everything in between. I would recommend Decksouth for any and every service they provide. I have always heard horror stories of projects gone wrong in one way or another: Decksouth is the real deal! They are professional and they deliver top quality!

Decksouth recently completed a project for me at my home. It was a complete teardown of the old deck, porch and stairs. The new deck included an extension, porch, outdoor kitchen, lighting and stairs. From start to finish, they made the process easy! Decksouth handled all the county permitting, material delivery, scheduling of crews, electricians, plumbers etc. We loved our crew and were genuinely sad to see them leave! Decksouth is like hiring finish carpenters, who happen to build decks. The craftsmanship is excellent, and so is their service! Everyone who sees the deck is blown away! I plan to have them redo my front porch in a year or so.

We love our new deck! The entire process was so professionally handled, start to finish. Mike came up with a beautiful new design for us with a big pergola that adds so much to the overall look. And the construction crew was nothing short of amazing! Miguel and Raul are such precision craftsmen. The workmanship is beautiful. And Shane, our project manager, made sure all the painters, debris removal crew and other workers were prompt and efficient. I would highly recommend this company without one hesitation.

We had some ideas for a screened porch, but DeckSouth thought of everything! From the timely response to the professional execution of the building plan, we were totally pleased. And our idea became a reality.

I recently had our deck replaced by Decksouth and the end result is awesome and we are enjoying our deck and underdeck system. John's crew were very meticulous and cleaned up every day and I cant say enough about their workmanship and quality. John Lea,the owner, is a personable and great to deal with. He stayed involved thoughout the build process. I highly recommend this company!

The company has a great reputation throughout our community having built decks and yards for over 2 decades. When John and Shane came out and talked with me about what they could do, they almost made it sound too easy. Almost made me uncomfortable. But when you talk to them and you understand how they approach the projects and then how they integrate, in my case with the landscaper, to give me a completed finished look, I could not ask for anything else.

We are thrilled with our deck and porch from DeckSouth! The design is perfect for our home - and the owner and staff were respectful and professional. We will definitely use Decksouth again for our next outdoor project! Thanks John and crew!

When we launched our new location in Atlanta, our goal was to build relationships with the top Deck Builders in the metro area. We feel so lucky we discovered Decksouth! As a speciality lumberyard, we only supply materials that meet high standards of quality; its refreshing to find a builder that shares the same philosophy when it comes to materials and craftsmanship. We've shared an incredible relationship with Decksouth from the moment we launched and are always impressed with their projects when we visit job sites.

I worked with Decksouth to build a pretty large composite deck with a gable roof porch. Everything from the minute the crew stepped onto my property was very professional. They took in all of my requests and wishes and threw it into the design which 1 month later, it came to life. I love Decksouth!

Mike and Shane helped us design a beautiful screened in porch with fireplace. They helped keep us in our budget without compromising quality. The team was attentive to our needs and quick to respond to all questions we had. We are so happy with our new porch.
