Safely Building Durable New Decks
Barefoot Decks is a licensed, insured, and bonded screen room and deck builder in the NW Metro Atlanta area. We understand that consumers should not have to choose between a quality deck and an affordable deck. As consumers ourselves, we offer a service and affordability that we would be looking for if we were looking to hire a deck builder in Kennesaw, GA.
From the very first time Jeremy or Arley comes out to your home, you will notice that we are not just your average deck builders in Acworth, GA. We believe that an informed consumer makes for a better customer. We will sit down with you with samples of different decking materials from standard pressure treated to composite to exotics like Ipe and Cumaru. We will discuss the ups and downs of each, the maintenance of each, and the cost differences. We will sketch the job and in most cases, we can price each option while we are there.

​At Barefoot Decks the service doesn't end with that first consultation. We are dedicated to the peace of mind of our customers, that's why we offer our services with no money down down. We wouldn't give a contractor 30-50 percent down, so why should you? At the completion of your deck or screen room, upon final payment we will present you with a written five year warranty as well as a "waiver of lien" so that you have the peace of mind you deserve. Everything that we would expect from a deck builder is exactly what we offer to our customers.

List of Services

Pressure-Treated PineList Item 1
Pressure-treated pine comes in dozens of brands, grades, processes and sizes, but to make it easy, pressure-treated pine is typically rated as standard or premium Grade in either 5/4x6 or 2x6.
Additionally, 2x6 is also available as a "prime" grade. Standard 5/4 is what most people have now on their deck. A 2x6 PT will reduce cracks and cupping. All pressure-treated pine should be screwed down. KDAT is a process (kiln-dried after treatment), it is simply a pressure-treated pine that has been treated and then dried so that it is ready to stain without having to wait. KDAT can be bought in any grade of decking from #2 standard to the top of line C grade, such as Yellawood Super Select which is not available in a "wet board." KDAT is already dried and ready to stain but it is still just pressure-treated pine and will still warp and/or crack as it expands and contracts outside. We typically prefer to install KDAT in screen porches where we can protect it from the weather until after it is stained or in vertical applications like screen walls and railings.
-
Brazilian HardwoodList Item 2
There are several types of hardwood decking from all around the world but in this market, the most popular are from Brazil. Whether you are interested in Ipe (E-pay), Tigerwood, Cumaru or Garapa, the most important thing to understand is that hardwood decking requires no chemical preservatives to keep the wood from decay.
Harwood decks do have to be protected from UV light. Hardwood oils are designed to seal the wood and enhance the grain and require yearly maintenance or they will turn grey. They are often best used undercover.
-
Composite and PVC
By far the most popular decking choice today is composite decking. Composite decking is 50% PVC and 50% wood fiber.
Not all composites are the same. In order to get a composite that is stain and fade resistant, you have to have a "capped composite" that has a hard polymer shell-like Trex or TimberTech. Composites are typically installed with hidden fasteners for a better look. Azek is a pure PVC decking without the use of fibers and carries the longest warranty of all decking. All composite decks should be installed by a manufacturer-authorized installer to preserve the warranties as improper installations will void warranties.
