Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for building or repairing my deck?
Which is better, a composite deck or a wooden deck?
A composite deck can be more expensive up-front, but it is worth the investment in the long run.
Wooden decks need to be stained and sealed every two years, which costs around $2k. Other work, such as replacing old warped or cracked boards and adjusting and stiffening loose handrails, may also need to be done.
Composite decks do not require much maintenance and come with a limited-to-lifetime warranty, which means you won’t have to worry about any work. A composite deck will last for up to 30 years with just an occasional wash.
Are you a licensed contractor?
When is the best time to build a deck?
The best time to build a deck in Tennessee depends on when you want to start enjoying it. Building your deck in the fall has less of a negative impact on your landscape.
However, the spring and summer seasons can be unpredictable, with hot, sweltering days or stormy, rainy days.
So if you’re looking to start using your deck as soon as the weather is nice, late autumn or winter are great times to build.
How much should I spend on a deck?
The average cost to build a deck in Tennessee varies depending on the type of deck you want.
A simple wooden deck will typically cost around $10,000, while a high-end composite deck with multiple layers and various upgrades can cost up to $250,000.
Some popular upgrades include two-tone decking, covered decks, pergolas, double borders or inset borders, wrapped columns, deck skirting, drainage systems, gutter systems, decks, stair gates, aluminum or glass railing, drink and table rails, sitting areas, and more.
