The unit is large and sunny with a dining room and deck and is about 1,100sf. 

Generally speaking if a buyer facing this scenario moves forward with the purchase, he/she would want to be sure that SOMEONE ELSE pays for the damages if forced to remove the house, deck or driveway.

That’s right, cutting the grass, gardening, relaxing on the deck, grilling out, etc.

I’ve seen brand new patios slope back towards the house, joist hangers attached with deck screws instead of nails, brand new roofs that leak, etc. there are a ton of hack builders out there creating problems for whoever buys the houses they build that’s why it’s recommended to hire an independent 3rd party home inspector even for new construction.

I need to build a deck in North Atlanta and am looking for some recommendations for framing crews that you have used. 

I'm approaching this whole project as a big learning opportunity, to develop a skill-set I can use for future projects.I have a lot of fun plans for the garage of this property, which is huge, insulated, and has a bonus room, as well as a good structure for a garage-top deck. 

I had wood bees actually start boring in the dry ground underneath the deck and it took care of them in 48hrs.

The costs of concrete, site work, utilities, permits, licensed tradespeople, heating systems, button-up, garages/decks, etc will blow you away.
