Pressure-treated, cedar and hardwood decks with a warm, natural look, built with proper details and a care plan that keeps them beautiful.
Nothing beats the warmth of a wood deck underfoot. Pressure-treated pine is economical and sturdy, cedar is naturally resistant and beautiful and hardwoods bring a rich, dense feel. Wood decks fit the character of many Nashville homes, and with a little care they last many years. The key is building the structure properly and giving the boards a finish that protects them.
Your designer helps you compare wood types, board sizes and finishes, and plans the frame, footings and details that keep water from lingering. The crew builds with corrosion-resistant fasteners and flashing, leaves proper gaps and ends are sealed. We explain when to stain or seal, how long to wait for new treated wood to dry and how to keep boards in good shape.
Treated pine, cedar, redwood and hardwoods differ in cost, color and durability, and we show samples side by side.
Flashing, gaps and sealed cut ends keep moisture from sitting in joints, which is where rot begins.
New treated lumber needs time to dry before staining, and cedar can be left to weather or sealed. We advise on timing.
Stainless or coated screws and hidden clips avoid black streaks and rust and keep boards tight.
