01 — Overview
What We Build

Deck Construction Done Right

A deck is one of the highest-ROI additions you can make to a Lee County or Lake Martin home — but only if it's built right. Pressure-treated framing tied into a code-compliant ledger, footings that hit firm bearing below frost, and a railing system that passes a Lee County final.

Old Number One Customs is a licensed Alabama residential general contractor based in Auburn. We build new decks, replace failing decks, and design multi-level outdoor living spaces from Auburn and Opelika to the Lake Martin shoreline.

Project Types

Configurations We Build

Pressure-treated decks

The workhorse — Southern Yellow Pine, 5/4 or 2x decking, hidden fasteners optional. Best value for square footage.

Composite & PVC decks

TimberTech, Trex, and Azek systems. Lower long-term maintenance, fade and stain warranties, designer color lines.

Hardwood decks

Ipe, cumaru, and other tropical hardwoods for shoreline homes that need real density and longevity.

Covered & screened decks

Full structural roof integration with the main house, ceiling fans, T&G ceilings, recessed lighting, screened enclosures.

Multi-level & wraparound

Stepped elevations to follow a sloped Lake Martin lot or wrap a hillside Auburn home — engineered for the grade.

Replacement & rebuild

Full tear-off, ledger re-flash, footing remediation, and structural upgrade. We don't build new on top of old framing.

03 — FAQ
Common Questions

What Homeowners Ask

How much does a deck cost in Auburn, AL?

Most Auburn and Opelika deck projects we build land between $25,000 and $90,000, depending on size, height off grade, materials, and whether the deck is covered. Use the configurator on this site for a tier-based estimate tied to your project.

Do I need a permit for a deck in Lee County?

Yes. Decks over 30 inches off finished grade require a building permit in Lee County and inside Auburn and Opelika city limits. We pull the permit, schedule inspections, and handle the final.

How long does deck construction take?

A standard 300-500 sq ft deck takes us 2-4 weeks from demo to final inspection. Covered decks and Lake Martin shoreline builds run longer because of structural roof integration and lake-authority requirements.

Composite or pressure-treated — which is better?

Pressure-treated has a lower upfront cost and a 15-25 year service life with maintenance. Composite costs 1.8-2.3x more upfront but holds its appearance with effectively zero upkeep. We size the recommendation to your hold horizon.

Do you build decks on Lake Martin?

Yes — we serve Lake Martin and Alexander City. Shoreline decks have additional requirements around grading, drainage, and Alabama Power shoreline permits. We handle the coordination.
