Atlanta Prefab & Custom Pool House Builders

I needed to get a shed constructed in my yard. Advance was the first to actually CALL AND COME OUT SAME DAY to access the situation. The work done was really professional!! I will be using this company again!!

Mark is excellent. When I first met him he was very courteous, wore a mark and stood 6ft apart. He was extremely personable and friendly. I told him what I wanted and his team built it. He oversaw everything and fixed anything that I didnt like and if he saw anything that needed to be fixed. He gave me a high quality shed with shed foundation and decently priced too. I am very impressed with his work and was ecstatic at the end when it was completed. I definitely would hire him for other projects. You cant go wrong with Mark.

They gave me an estimate. They finished it on time. They did everything they said they were going to do. They cleaned up when they were finished. They even made sure the dogs didn't get into anything. This was my second time to use them and 2 years ago they reinforced the roof trusses and did repairs on the house. I highly recommend them.

One word "Exceptional" from start to finish!!! Special thanks to Glenn for his customer service/support. He was definitely God sent. Again, thank you to all who were involved in this project. :-)

We've used Southern Specialty 3-4 times in the past and called on them again when we were ready to build a storage shed in our backyard. As usual, Rod & his guys did a meticulous job-- quality work, on budget and finished the job in a shorter timeframe than expected.

WE MET EUGENE (AMISH) AT THE HOME & GARDER SHOW DURING THE EARLY SPRING MONTHS & COMPARED HIS WORK TO A NUMBER OF OTHER AMISH TOOL SHED PROVIDERS. THE SHED WAS DELIVERED TO SITE IN PIECES. EVERYTHING WAS CONSTRUCTED ON SITE & WITHIN A HALF DAY. THE VINYL SIDING, ROOF, DOORS, & WINDOWS WERE ALL CUSTOM INSTALLED THAT DAY. SITE WAS CLEANED UP & WORK WAS METICULOUS!

Excellent Craftmanship and Integrity. Buckhead General Contractor referred by our Realtor at Sothebys International on West Paces. Flawless quality and Fair pricing. Will be using in the future for our new pool house. Thanks to all the team at Affordable Remodeling. Well done.

Jim McMahon (owner) met with us and provided a detailed estimate (along with suggestions) and references. We compared his quote to other providers and found him to be very competitive for the quality of materials (much higher quality than Lowes/Home Depot). Once we checked his references, we set a date for the construction. He and his crew showed up timely and completed the work as described, despite a few obstacles that came up when we changed the location for the shed. The quality of Jim's work was great and we would highly recommend him.

I was moving from out-of-state and needed a shed to replace the dilapidated one at the house we were buying. Joseph was very helpful in answering my questions. Due to the lot size and shape, we needed a 8' deep, but 16' wide shed to best utilize the available space. Because it was going to be near the ranch-style house with low-profile roof, it was important that the shed not 'over-power' the house. Joseph recommended the Oxford with it's Saltbox style roof. After moving into the house and getting settled (over two months since initial discussion), I scheduled the build. They still had my info and knew what I wanted. Like others have said, the materials arrived exactly when stated, and one of their builders came and built the shed himself. This is a quality build that feels extremely solid and designed to last. Feels more like a garage. They even put the floor joists 12" on center! This is an amazing group to work with, and they obviously have pride in their product!!

THE CARPENTER WHO ASSESSED THE JOB APPEARED TO BE HIGHLY COMPETENT. THE ESTIMATE OF $2125 SEEMED SOMEWHAT HIGH.

Contracted for a shed on my property. They appeared very professional at first. Came out on a Saturday morning to see the site and take measurements for a quote. The office manager was prompt in getting a detailed contract to me and was responsive when I needed info for the building permit. After that, the professionalism disappeared. The contracted start date came with no call/email update. When they hadn't shown by 10AM, I called them and was told they were behind a couple of weeks. But couldn't find the time to let me know this. When they did finally get started 5 weeks later, the work was shabby: - the shed sits crooked with respect to the property lines. - the shed didn't pass required city inspection the first time. The guy sent someone else out to correct the problems. That guy said he has to correct issues all the time for this guy. - now it's raining and I'm finding that the roof leaks; apparently the ridge vent was put on crooked. Save your money and stay away from this guy.

Gary was a breath of fresh air after having other less professional contractors in our home. He was very prompt and courteous and even called to let me know that he was running a few minutes late. He is a very skilled carpenter as his company title suggests. Both doors turned out awesome and even better than I expected. I will most definitely be calling on him again in the future.

James Altman with Altman Handyman Services is a real professional. He has completed severals jobs for me: shed renovation and deck stairs and post replacement. He was very courteous and a good listener when I was explaining what needed to be done. He completed all jobs in a timely manner, was very thorough and always showed up at the times he said he would. Also pricing was affordable.

THE BEST. Simply the best. If you are looking for value for your dollar, if you want a deck that will last as long as the house (or longer), if you want a contractor who is reliable and delivers what was promised, DECKSOUTH is the contractor for you. After searching Angie’s List and two other contractor screening sites, DECKSOUTH was among four companies that I chose to compete for my project. As a program analyst, I know how to build statements of work and contract proposals, so I put those skills into this project. No one could come close to DECKSOUTH in this process. This is a best value contract, not a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable contract. As part of that, DECKSOUTH sets up a payment schedule keyed to completion of pre-determined deliverables (e.g. materials, framing inspection, post-hole inspection, final inspection). This is written into the contract. You will not have them coming back to you asking you for a big chunk of money for something in the future. DECKSOUTH was not the cheapest, but Lamar and John are passionate about building the best. They could not come down in their price without making unacceptable compromises and the others would not build to DECKSOUTH standards. This showed clearly in their proposal details (talk about a well-written proposal!!!), and in the FIFTEEN YEAR WARRANTY that DECKSOUTH gives on its work. No one else could come close to DECKSOUTH standards. For someone flipping a house, that wouldn’t be important. But for someone, like me, who is tired of moving and is improving her home for decades of grandchildren visits, it was very important. Even more than that was why they could include that warranty. The quality of their work. Code is not good enough for them. They exceeded code and all the competition’s standards by miles. 12” on center joists, rather than 16”. A water-shed system that protects the framing, not just the decking. Dock posts rather than standard pressure treated lumber for the support posts. Kiln dried pressure-treated lumber rather than standard, dripping-wet with formaldehyde pressure-treated lumber. Azek for fascia and post wrapping. Framing extending into the house itself, resting on and secured to the second floor sill plates (I have an unfinished basement), rather than just bolted to the outside. Triple plates bolted onto the outside of the house and secured from inside. All to go the extra mile with the engineering to avoid putting in posts that would block doors and windows, yet deliver a product that impressed the city/county inspectors so much they had no problem waiving the extra posts code requirements! Craftsmanship with attention to detail that was beyond impressive. Their crews aren’t day labor pulled off a street corner, but skilled craftsmen who take pride in their work. And when one subcontractor did not get the word on an important finishing detail to the project, DECKSOUTH was all over them to return to completely redo the job, not just jury-rig an acceptable fix. DECKSOUTH is simply the best. This deck now makes the house. I hadn’t anticipated that. But now, I am beyond thrilled with what DECKSOUTH delivered. Thanks, John and Lamar. You ARE the best!!!!!

We have used them in the past as well. They do excellent work but they are not efficient with time. They haven't submitted the design to us yet. I'm not sure what the problem is, if they are backed up or what, but their work is good enough that we are willing to wait. We started working with them on this project about three months ago. They are very hard to get a hold of and seem very busy. They are very pricey although they have not provided us with a quote as of yet.
