Deck Builder

Custom decks designed and built to fit your yard, with strong framing, proper footings and finishes chosen for how you live.

A deck is the quickest way to gain outdoor living space, especially on a sloped Nashville lot where the back door sits well above the ground. A good deck feels like part of the house, with room for dining and lounging, stairs in the right place and railings that keep the view open. The frame under the boards matters just as much as the finish you see.

A designer walks the yard with you, notes the door heights, slope, trees and sun and sketches the deck shape, size and levels. The plan covers footings, beams, joists, ledger attachment, decking, railings and stairs. The crew builds the structure to the drawings, with flashing, hardware and fasteners chosen for outdoor use, and you confirm permit and HOA steps for your property.

Footings and framing

Footings reach firm soil and below frost depth, and beams and joists are sized for spans and loads, which keeps a deck flat and quiet for years.

A safe ledger

Where a deck attaches to the house, proper flashing and fasteners keep water out of the wall and hold the deck to the structure.

Decking choices

Pressure-treated, cedar, redwood, composite and PVC each have a look, cost and upkeep, and we help you compare.

Railings and stairs

Code-conscious railing heights, post connections and comfortable stair risers make the deck safe to use every day.

    Call and describe your yard

    You tell us how you want to use your outdoor space. One call sets up a visit that fits your day.

    Surfaces, walls, structures and features are built in a clear order, with checks and photos along the way.

Questions

Deck Builder FAQ

How big should my deck be?

Many owners want room for a dining table, a grill and a seating group. We mark the footprint so you can walk it.

Do I need a permit for a deck?

Most decks need one, especially attached or elevated ones. We help you prepare drawings, and you confirm with your local office and HOA.

How long does a deck take to build?

Many decks take a week or two once materials arrive, depending on size and weather.

Should I choose wood or composite?

Wood is warm and economical and needs sealing. Composite costs more up front and needs little upkeep. We compare for your yard.

Can a deck be built over a slope?

Yes, with taller posts, bracing and careful footings, and we plan drainage under and around it.
