How is a Northside deck built?

With joists every 12 inches, bolted to the house, on grade one lumber. Here is the rest of what goes into every deck and porch we build in Cumming.

Joists every 12 inches

Most decks are framed at 16. Ours are framed at 12, composite included, so the floor does not bounce.

Bolted to the house

Where the deck meets your house, the ledger board gets bolted, not nailed.

Grade one lumber

The frame holding up your family is built from grade one lumber.

Solid posts

No skinny post wrapped in trim to fake a bigger one. The corners on those open up within a few years.

Steel piers when the soil is bad

If the ground cannot carry the load, we drive steel piers down to ground that can, instead of digging deeper and hoping.

A bid with every line on it

Every part of the build is itemized, down to the manufacturer of what goes on your project.

Questions about building in Cumming

Do you build in Cumming?

Yes. In Cumming we tore out an old deck and built a covered porch in its place. It is shown on this page.

Can you tear out my old deck and build a covered porch in its place?

Yes. That is what we did on the Cumming job above. The old deck came off down to the dirt, and the new covered porch went up in its place.

Can you put new boards on my old deck frame?

Usually not. If the frame is rotted, or the deck is held to the house with nails instead of bolts, it has to come down. We do not put new boards on a frame we did not build and cannot stand behind.

Who runs my project?

An owner. Tyler Blaylock and Alexander Sanchez own Northside, and one of them runs every job, from the first walk of your yard to the final walkthrough. Tyler handles sales and your questions. Alexander runs the build side.
