Transform Your Backyard or Deck into A Destination

Georgia's long, mild seasons make outdoor space some of the best square footage you can add to a home. G&R Construction designs and builds decks, patios, covered porches, sunrooms, and other outdoor living spaces that are structurally sound and built for our climate.

Outdoor Living Projects We Build

  • Decks: composite and wood, with railings, stairs, and built-in seating
  • Covered patios and pergolas
  • Screened porches and enclosed porches
  • Sunrooms: three-season and four-season
  • Concrete and paver patios
  • Outdoor kitchen and grilling areas
  • Retaining walls and grade work
  • Deck repair, re-decking, and resurfacing

Built for Georgia Weather

Humidity, heavy rain, summer heat, and the occasional hard freeze are hard on outdoor structures. We focus on the details that determine how long a project lasts:

  • Footings and framing sized and set for load and soil conditions
  • Flashing and drainage where decks and roofs meet the house, the most common failure point
  • Materials matched to your tolerance for maintenance
  • Hardware and fasteners rated for exterior use

Outdoor Living FAQs

  • Do I need a permit to build a deck?

    Most decks require one, particularly attached or elevated decks. We handle it.


  • How long does a deck last?

    Lifespan depends on materials, construction quality, and maintenance. Proper framing and flashing matter as much as the decking surface.

  • Can you add electrical, lighting, or outlets?

    Yes. Lighting and outlets are coordinated with licensed electricians.


  • What's the difference between a sunroom and a screened porch?

    A sunroom is enclosed with glazing and can be insulated and conditioned for year-round use. A screened porch is open to the air with screening.


  • Can you repair an existing deck?

    Yes. We assess the structure first, since surface repairs don't fix failing framing.
