New Decks in Nashville, Tennessee
Composite and pressure-treated decks engineered, permitted and built with proper footings and ledger attachment.
Nashville's Decks & Patios connects homeowners across Middle Tennessee with licensed, insured deck builders for new decks. Estimates are free and written, the price is agreed before work starts, and the workmanship is backed in writing.
What the job usually involves
Every property is different, which is why the estimate comes after somebody has actually looked at it rather than before. What does not change is the process: assess, explain the options in plain language, put the scope and price in writing, then do the work to that scope.

New Decks, in practice
The ledger — the board that fastens the deck to the house — is the connection everything hangs from, and a nailed, unflashed ledger is the most common serious defect found on decks in this region. Structural bolts and flashing are not an upgrade; they are the standard.
Footing depth is the other thing that cannot be corrected later. Middle Tennessee clay moves seasonally and a footing that does not reach stable bearing will heave, and once a deck has racked it is a lifting job rather than a repair.
