Custom Deck Building in Chattanooga

Designed for your lot
Chattanooga backyards are rarely flat. A deck that works on a Hixson cul-de-sac is different from one hanging off a Signal Mountain bluff. During the estimate we look at the slope, the view, where the sun hits in the afternoon and how you get from the kitchen to the grill, then lay out a deck that fits.
What goes into a solid deck
The boards are what you see, but the structure is what matters. Properly sized footings below the frost line, a ledger flashed and bolted to the house, joists spaced for the decking you choose, and hardware rated for the load. That is the difference between a deck that feels rock solid in 20 years and one that bounces in five.
What affects the cost?
Size, height off the ground, decking material, railing style and stairs drive most of the price. A low pressure-treated platform costs far less per square foot than a raised composite deck with cable rail. Your free estimate breaks it down line by line so you can adjust the plan to fit your budget.
Custom Deck Building FAQ
How big should my deck be?
Plan for how you will use it. A table for six needs roughly 12x12 feet; add more for a grill station or lounge chairs. We will help you size it during the estimate.
Can you build a deck on a steep yard?
Yes. Sloped lots are common around Chattanooga, and a raised or multi-level deck is often the best way to turn a hillside into usable space.
Do I need a permit?
Most decks that attach to a house or sit more than a short distance off the ground need a building permit. Permit requirements are confirmed for your city or county before work starts.
How long does it take to build?
Most residential decks take a few days to a couple of weeks once permits are approved, depending on size, height and weather.
