Decks & Fences in Gordon County, GA

One town, 3,703 owner-occupied homes

All 7,199 Gordon homes we cover sit inside Calhoun, and 3,703 of them are owner occupied. What we offer up here is speed, not spread: one town, ten miles, and a short enough run that a second trip costs nobody anything.

Everything here was built around 1986

Calhoun houses cluster around 1986, and Calhoun is the whole of Gordon for us. A county built in one go is predictable in a way that Catoosa, spanning 35 years, isn't. Almost every Gordon deck we look at is the same problem at the same age, a frame that has outlived two surfaces. Deck repair and replacement starts there, and composite decking is the usual question on the way back up.

Calhoun, and the rest of the county

Everything specific to Calhoun is on the Calhoun page: the two named waters, the stream lines and the fence pattern. If you're in Gordon County and not in Calhoun, we still come out. Call and tell us where you are.

251 feet, which is gentle for this part of Georgia

Gordon shows 251 feet of relief, against 741 in Whitfield directly north and 481 at Cartersville to the south. Gentle ground puts most of the wall work we do here in the low, decorative category: raised beds, seat walls and a single course squaring off a soft slope instead of anything holding back a hillside.

The Oostanaula and Moss Lake

Gordon has both a river and a lake inside the Calhoun boundary. Still water is what makes a screened porch pay for itself in July, and Moss Lake is still water. Five named streams cross the same boundary, which is why we set patios and walkways in this county out to a deliberate fall instead of laying them flat.

Mid-sized, and the fence runs that come with it

In the northern half of what we cover, Calhoun is the one mid-sized town. That's the awkward middle for fencing: too tight for the long acreage runs you get out in the county and too loose for the standard subdivision grid, so run lengths vary a lot here. What that looks like on the ground is on our Calhoun fence page.

55.8 percent owner occupied

At 55.8 percent, Calhoun is mid-table for ownership, which puts pergolas and patio covers in the same bracket as Cartersville and Dallas, not up with Powder Springs.
