Deck Building in Marietta — East Cobb, West Cobb & Beyond
Marietta sits right in the heart of Cobb County, and it's one of the areas where we do the most work. The neighborhoods here range from established subdivisions with mature hardwoods in East Cobb to newer developments on the west side near Dallas Highway. Each area has its own character, lot sizes, and HOA requirements — and we've built decks across all of them.
East Cobb is where we see the largest deck projects. Homes in neighborhoods like Indian Hills, Walton, and the subdivisions surrounding Lassiter and Walton High School tend to sit on wooded half-acre lots with moderate to steep slopes. These properties are ideal for multi-level composite decks with walk-out lower levels. We frequently pair these builds with under-deck drainage systems that turn the space beneath an upper deck into dry, usable living area — essentially doubling the homeowner's outdoor square footage.
West Cobb neighborhoods along Due West Road, Kennesaw Due West, and the Lost Mountain area tend to have flatter lots and more traditional ranch or split-level homes. Deck projects here are often straightforward platform builds off the back of the house, designed for grilling, dining, and entertaining. Pressure-treated wood decks are popular in West Cobb because they deliver solid performance at a lower price point, and the lots tend to have good drainage that reduces moisture-related issues.
Near Marietta Square and the historic downtown area, the homes are a mix of Victorian-era houses, Craftsman bungalows, and mid-century ranches. We adapt our designs to match the architectural character of these older homes. Wraparound porches, screened-in porches, and period-appropriate railing styles are common requests from homeowners in this area. The City of Marietta has its own zoning and permitting office separate from Cobb County, and we handle that paperwork for you.
Cobb County Permits and HOA Rules
Cobb County Development Services handles building permits for unincorporated areas, while the City of Marietta has its own permitting process. Both require structural plans, footing details, and site plans for new deck construction. We prepare all documentation and submit on your behalf. Inspections typically happen at the footing stage and upon final completion.
Many East Cobb subdivisions have active HOAs with architectural review requirements. These boards typically want to see material selections, color choices, and sometimes elevation drawings before approving a project. We prepare HOA submission packages regularly and know what these committees expect. If your HOA requires specific materials or setback distances, we factor those into the design from the start.
Why Marietta Homeowners Choose Us
We're in Marietta every week. Our crews know the soil conditions, the drainage patterns, and the tree-heavy lots that define this part of Cobb County. Marietta's red clay soil requires properly engineered footings — we use concrete piers set below the frost line and, where needed, helical piers for added stability on slopes. Georgia's humidity accelerates wear on wood decks, so we use stainless steel or coated fasteners and recommend staining schedules that actually hold up here — not the generic timelines you'll find online.
From your first phone call through the final walkthrough, you work with one team. We don't hand off jobs between subcontractors. Our project managers live in the Atlanta metro, and they're on-site regularly throughout your build.

How much does a deck cost in Marietta?
Deck pricing in Marietta generally runs $25 to $60 per square foot installed. A 300 sq ft pressure-treated deck costs between $7,500 and $11,000, while composite decking of the same size ranges from $12,000 to $18,000. East Cobb projects tend to run slightly higher due to larger deck sizes and HOA-mandated material requirements. We provide detailed, itemized estimates at no cost.
-
Do I need a permit for a deck in Cobb County?
Yes. Cobb County requires a building permit for any deck attached to a dwelling or standing more than 30 inches above grade. The City of Marietta has its own permitting office for properties within city limits. We submit all plans, pay permit fees on your behalf, and coordinate inspections with Cobb County or Marietta inspectors depending on your address.
-
What deck materials work best in Marietta?
Composite decking from Trex, TimberTech, or AZEK is the most popular choice in Marietta neighborhoods, especially in East Cobb where HOAs often require low-maintenance materials. Pressure-treated pine is a solid budget option that holds up well when properly stained every 2 to 3 years. Cedar and ipe hardwood are premium natural options we install for homeowners who prefer the look of real wood. We walk you through every option during your free consultation.
