OUR WORK

What has Northside built in Johns Creek?

A front porch built where there were only brick steps, and a backyard that went from bare dirt to a covered patio.

$80,000 front porch, Johns Creek

When the homeowner called us, there was no porch at all, just a few brick steps up to the front door. He showed us exactly what he wanted, then picked out every stone and tile in person with us.

  • Stone on every post and along the whole edge of the porch
  • Two different floor tiles for contrast
  • Solid 10x10 timber posts and front beam with clean corners
  • A wide open front gable with no post in the middle
  • Tongue and groove ceiling that follows the shape of the roof
  • Railings across every opening, which Johns Creek code required on this job

WHAT WE BUILD

What can we build at your Johns Creek home?

Decks, covered porches, exterior remodels and siding. Johns Creek is in north Fulton County. We serve it along with Alpharetta, Duluth and Suwanee.

Composite and wood decks, framed with joists 12 inches apart.

Covered porches, screened porches and open-air pavilions.

Exterior Remodels

Outdoor kitchens, garage work and full exterior transformations.

Siding

Full tear-offs and re-siding in fiber cement and engineered wood.

HOW WE BUILD

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 Johns Creek.

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

Questions about building in Johns Creek

Do you build front porches in Johns Creek?

Yes. The $80,000 Johns Creek front porch on this page started as a few brick steps up to the front door. Now it has stone on every post, solid 10x10 timbers and a wide open gable.

Will Johns Creek require railings on my porch?

On our Johns Creek front porch, city code required railings across every opening, so they were part of the job. What your porch needs depends on its design, so ask what the city requires before you sign anything. Whatever it is belongs in the bid from day one, not in a surprise bill halfway through the build.

What does $80,000 build on a front porch?

On this Johns Creek job: stone on every post and the porch edge, two floor tiles, solid 10x10 timber posts and beam, an open front gable with no middle post, a tongue and groove ceiling that follows the roofline, and the railings the city required.

Can a covered patio make my house feel bigger?

Yes. On a Johns Creek job we extended the home's footprint out 12 feet with a gable covered patio, with knee walls that match the house's siding so it reads as part of the home.
