Deck Builder in Flowery Branch, GA
Composite decks, pool decks with covered porches, and screen rooms for Flowery Branch and Lake Lanier homes, with the city or Hall County permit handled for you.
Decks, porches and sunrooms for Flowery Branch homes
The two-level deck with a covered porch over the pool at the top of this page is a Flowery Branch home, and it's one of the projects we're proudest of. Sands Construction Group builds composite decks, pool decks, screened porches and sunrooms for Flowery Branch, Sterling on the Lake and the south shore of Lake Lanier, about 20 minutes from our Buford shop.
Flowery Branch has its own Community Development department and the rest of the area is Hall County; we prepare the drawings and handle the permit for either.
Deck permits in Flowery Branch and Hall County
The City of Flowery Branch Community Development Department (5318 Railroad Avenue) oversees building permits, plan review and inspections inside the city limits, with residential building permit applications on the city's forms page and inspections scheduled at least 24 hours ahead through its portal. The city's monthly permit reports regularly list deck and screened-porch permits, so this is a routine permit for them.
Outside the city limits, Flowery Branch addresses are in unincorporated Hall County, where permits are issued by Hall County Building Inspections at 2875 Browns Bridge Road in Gainesville.
We confirm which office your address falls under, prepare the drawings and submit the permit, and schedule the inspections. On a lake lot we'll also tell you what, if anything, touches the Corps of Engineers' shoreline rules.
