Expert Demolition Services for Marietta Homeowners

Looking for professional demolition in Marietta, GA? RBJ Contracting has been serving Marietta and Cobb County since 2018.RBJ Contracting is your local deck building expert in Marietta, GA. Family-owned and operated since 2018, we serve homeowners throughout Marietta with quality deck construction, rehabilitation, and home improvement services. From the historic Marietta Square to neighborhoods across Cobb County, we've built 50+ decks for satisfied Marietta families.

Building a deck in Marietta requires understanding both Cobb County's strict building codes and the unique characteristics of our local terrain. The red Georgia clay that makes up most Marietta soil expands and contracts significantly with moisture changes, which is why we always dig footings to at least 12 inches and use concrete with proper drainage gravel beneath. Near the historic Marietta Square district, many older homes have unique architectural styles that require custom deck designs to maintain property character. In the Johnson Ferry and East Cobb Park areas, we frequently encounter heavily wooded lots where shade creates persistent moisture—here, we always recommend Trex composite over wood to prevent the mold and rot issues common with pressure-treated lumber in these conditions. We've completed over 20 deck projects within 5 miles of Marietta Square, and our proximity means we can respond to consultations same-day.

We understand the unique needs of Marietta properties and deliver results that exceed expectations.
