Decks, porches and sunrooms for Lawrenceville homes
Lawrenceville is Gwinnett's county seat and one of its older cities, which means a lot of 20- and 30-year-old wood decks that are ready to be replaced. That's a big part of what Sands Construction Group does here: tearing out tired wood decks and building composite decks, screened porches and sunrooms in their place, about 15 minutes from our Dacula shop.
The city has its own permit office at City Hall and the county's is a mile away on West Crogan Street. We've been through both many times.
Deck permits in Lawrenceville
Inside the city limits, the City of Lawrenceville Planning & Development Department at 70 S Clayton Street (City Hall, main level; (678) 407-6583) requires a permit and plan review before construction or remodeling, including additions, and performs its own structural, electrical, plumbing and mechanical inspections. Applications are submitted through the city's online Licensing, Permits and Plans portal.
Lawrenceville addresses outside the city limits are in unincorporated Gwinnett County, whose Planning and Development office is also in Lawrenceville at 446 West Crogan Street. Gwinnett requires a permit before any deck construction, a scaled Deck Addition Location Plan, septic sign-off where applicable, and footing and final inspections.
We confirm which office your address falls under, prepare the drawings and submit the permit, and schedule the inspections.

Yes. Lawrenceville is about 15 minutes from our Dacula shop, and deck replacement there is a regular part of our work. In-home estimates are free.
Usually. If the frame, ledger and footings are sound we reinforce the joists and lay composite boards and new railing on it. If they're not, we tell you and quote a rebuild.
The City of Lawrenceville if you're inside the city limits, Gwinnett County if you're outside them. Both offices are in Lawrenceville, and we handle whichever applies.
