Nashville Wood Deck Build Project
We recently completed a full replacement of the back porch on a home in Nashville. The original deck was severely deteriorated and no longer safe or usable, so we started fresh from the ground up. The old metal support pillars had rusted through over the years, so we replaced them with sturdy 6x6 pressure-treated lumber posts to ensure long-term stability and durability. We also redesigned the stairs, extending them to create a wider and more comfortable step. New railings were installed to complete the look and provide added safety. Since the deck is built with pressure-treated wood, it will need several months to fully dry before it is ready to be stained, typically about six months on average. Once the wood has had time to cure, it can be sealed or stained to bring out its natural color and protect it from the elements.
Before and After Transformations
See the dramatic difference professional deck construction makes. Our before and after gallery showcases complete transformations from unused outdoor spaces to beautiful, functional decks that become the heart of outdoor entertaining.
Transformation Stories:
Project 1: Backyard Revival This Franklin home had an old, deteriorating deck that was unsafe and unsightly. We completely rebuilt the space with a new composite deck featuring multiple levels, built-in planters, and a pergola for shade. The transformation turned an eyesore into the family's favorite gathering spot.
Project 2: Pool Deck Upgrade Replacing a concrete patio with a beautiful cedar deck around an existing pool. The new deck provides better drainage, more comfortable footing, and seamless integration with the home's architecture.
Project 3: Small Space Solution A compact backyard received a custom floating deck that maximizes usable space without overwhelming the yard. Smart design choices create the illusion of more space while providing practical outdoor living area.
