Classic Southern Living

Porch Construction Acworth GA

Nothing says Southern hospitality like a beautiful porch. Custom front porches, back porches, and covered porches built to last.

Southern Tradition

Custom Porch Construction

There's a reason porches are a Southern tradition. Here in Georgia, a porch extends your living space outdoors, gives you a shaded spot to escape the heat, and creates that welcoming feel every home should have. Whether you're looking for a classic front porch with rockers or a spacious back porch for family gatherings, DECKsclusive builds porches that complement your home.

A porch is different from a deck in that it typically has a roof and is often screened or enclosed. It's an outdoor room that offers more protection from the elements while still connecting you to the outdoors. In Acworth's climate, a well-designed porch can be used comfortably most of the year.

We build new porches and renovate existing ones throughout Acworth, Kennesaw, Marietta, and the surrounding areas. Call (678) 619-9029 to discuss your porch project.
