Deck Builder in Johns Creek, GA
Composite decks, screened porches and sunrooms for Johns Creek homes, with the city's deck and porch permit and your HOA approval handled for you.
Decks, porches and sunrooms for Johns Creek homes
Johns Creek backs onto the Chattahoochee and is built almost entirely of HOA neighborhoods, so a deck here needs to look right and be permitted right. Sands Construction Group builds composite decks, screened and covered porches, sunrooms and porch fireplaces for Johns Creek homeowners, about 30 minutes from our Buford shop.
The city has its own Residential Deck/Porch/Patio Cover permit, and its yard rules decide how far a deck can extend toward the property line. We check both before we draw anything.
Deck permits in Johns Creek
The City of Johns Creek issues its own residential building permits and has a specific Residential Deck/Porch/Patio Cover permit application. The city's planning FAQ explains that deck construction is regulated by minimum yard requirements, but that depending on the height and features of the proposed deck it may be permitted to extend into the minimum required yards. Location questions go to the Planning & Zoning Division at (678) 512-3200.
Attached and raised decks, and any roofed porch or sunroom, are permitted and inspected. Under the state residential code adopted January 1, 2026, only a freestanding deck no more than 30 inches above grade and no more than 200 square feet is exempt.
We confirm the yard rules for your lot with the city, prepare the drawings, submit the deck/porch permit, and schedule the inspections.
