Client: The Jenkins Family | Location: Holly Springs, GA
Service: Custom Two-Story Deck Construction
Timeline: 5 weeks
Scope: Framing, decking, railing, LED lighting, and staircase build-out
The Challenge
The Jenkins family wanted to maximize their outdoor living space and create a backyard escape where they could relax, entertain, and enjoy the surrounding trees. Their current deck was small, outdated, and unsafe. They envisioned something larger — a two-level deck with lighting, privacy, and a great view of their lush backyard.
“We wanted a place that felt like an extension of our home — somewhere to host cookouts, relax at night, and enjoy the Georgia trees.” — Mr. Jenkins
The Solution
We designed and built a two-story pressure-treated deck that blended beautifully with the natural landscape. The upper level included custom railings with integrated LED post cap lights for safety and style. A wide staircase led to the lower level, perfect for grilling and gathering. We reinforced the framing to support outdoor furniture and added hidden fasteners for a clean finish. The entire deck faces a private backyard lined with mature trees and a deep green lawn.
The Results
- Two spacious levels of usable outdoor space
- Warm LED lights at the top of every post for nighttime ambiance
- Seamless integration with the home’s style and elevation
- Increased property value and year-round livability
“It turned out better than we imagined. We use it morning and night — coffee upstairs, grilling downstairs. The lights at night are a game-changer.” — Mrs. Jenkins
