What we do

Custom decks that give you two outdoor rooms

A well-built deck gives you a spot for morning coffee up top and a dry, shaded room underneath for lazy afternoons. As a deck builder since 2000, Sugar Hill Outdoors has built more than 500 decks, each one designed around the yard it sits in.

What we build

Decks, railings, and under-deck systems

As your deck builder, we design every deck around your yard and the way you want to use it.

Composite decking

Trex, MoistureShield, and Deckorators, the three main composite decking companies. We're certified installers with all three manufacturers.

Pressure-treated decks

Pressure-treated lumber for the decking and railings is the most budget-friendly way to build a solid, good-looking deck.

Custom railings

Choose anything from classic wood to a premium cable rail system that keeps your view wide open. Railings are priced by the linear foot.

Covered decks

A roof over your deck makes it a spot you use in summer heat and spring rain. We frame the cover as part of the deck design.

Dry under-deck systems

A Duxbak seal keeps rain from running through the deck boards, so the space underneath stays dry after every storm.

Finished under-deck rooms

An under-deck ceiling with built-in lights and fans turns the space below your deck into a second outdoor room.

Why Sugar Hill Outdoors

Why homeowners choose us as their deck builder

Clint Tucker learned framing from his dad as a teenager. Today, as your deck contractor, we pair that know-how with licensed landscape architects who design every deck as part of your whole backyard.

Certified with three brands

We're certified installers for Trex, MoistureShield, and Deckorators, so your composite deck is built to each manufacturer's installation standards.

More than 500 decks

We've built more than 500 decks since 2000, as part of a company rooted in North Georgia since 1997 and grown on referrals.

Licensed deck contractor

Our light commercial and residential license covers major deck and porch remodels, with every trade under one contract and one point of contact.

Built for Georgia clay

Footings go to Georgia's 12-inch minimum depth and account for red clay's seasonal movement, so your deck stays solid year after year.

Deck construction, step by step

Here's the path from your first visit with our deck contractor to your first evening on the new deck.

We walk your yard, talk through how you'll use the deck, and settle the size, height, decking, and railing style.

Your 3D deck design

Our licensed landscape architects draw your deck in 3D, with your pressure-treated or composite decking and railing choice shown before building begins.

03 / BUILD

Deck installation takes one to two weeks for most decks, and larger decks take closer to three to four weeks. You pay as each phase is finished.

What clients say

What our clients say

“We had been procrastinating for years on replacing our now 26-year-old deck. I knew I wanted it covered... I knew immediately that this wasn't a 'stock' design that was just thrown up.”

Frequently asked questions about building a deck

Here's what most people want to know before their deck goes up.

As a deck contractor in Jefferson, we price a pressure-treated deck with pressure-treated railings at $32 to $48 per square foot. Composite decking with pressure-treated railings runs $48 to $60 per square foot. Railings add $45 to $175 per linear foot, depending on whether you choose wood or a premium cable rail. Your consultation sets the exact number for your deck.

Yes. Our light commercial and residential license covers major remodels of decks and porches attached to your house. We look at your current deck during the consultation and plan the new one around how you want to use it.

Georgia's building code sets a 12-inch minimum footing depth. The number of footings depends on your deck's size and beam layout. Red clay expands and shrinks with moisture, so we set every footing to hold steady through the seasons.

As a Trex certified deck builder, we also install MoistureShield and Deckorators, the three main composite decking brands. Certification means your deck is built to each manufacturer's installation standards. We'll help you compare colors and styles during your consultation.

Most deck construction takes one to two weeks. Larger decks take closer to three to four weeks, depending on the scope of work. We set your timeline during the consultation, once your materials and railing are chosen.

Usually, and the rules depend on where you live. Roswell requires a permit for any deck more than 30 inches above grade, and Hall County requires one to add, enlarge, or replace a deck or deck cover. As your deck contractor, we confirm the rules for your address and handle the permit as part of your project.

If you want to use the space under your deck, yes. We install a Duxbak system that keeps rain from coming through the boards, then add an under-deck ceiling with lights and fans. You get a dry, finished second room right below your deck.

Railings range from classic wood to premium cable rail systems, priced from $45 to $175 per linear foot. Cable rail keeps your view open, and wood gives a classic look that suits most homes. You'll see the options side by side during your consultation.
