A trade association for deck and railing professionals that shares education, safety information and industry resources.
The North American Deck and Railing Association, known as NADRA, describes itself as a trade association for the deck and railing industry. Its website shares education, safety resources and information for homeowners and professionals. Owners in Nashville planning a new deck or checking an older one can read about construction, inspection and safety topics.
We are an independent company and are not part of NADRA. Decks depend on footings, framing, connections, flashing and railings, and we explain how each part works and how to check an older deck for wear. We build to the plan and the rules that apply to your project.
