Stairs & Multi-Level Designs
Wide, comfortable staircases and multi-level layouts that work with your yard's slope instead of fighting it.
Our Specialty
Custom Deck Construction in Nashville
Composite or wood, ground-level or elevated — every Deck Hoss deck starts with engineered structure and ends with craftsmanship you can see.
Materials
Composite & Wood Decks
Composite decking is the premium choice for Tennessee: it shrugs off humidity, never needs staining, and looks as good in year fifteen as it did on day one. We build with quality composite brands and hidden-fastener systems for a clean, board-by-board finish.
Wood decks — pressure-treated pine or cedar — bring warmth and a natural look at a lower upfront cost. Built and flashed correctly, a wood deck will serve your family for decades.
Not sure which fits your home and budget? That's exactly what the consultation is for.
Under the Boards
The Structure Is the Deck
Decking boards are the easy part. What determines whether your deck is solid in twenty years is everything underneath — and that's where we refuse to cut corners.
- Properly sized footings and posts for your soil and span
- Engineered joist layout — no bouncy, springy decking
- Structural hardware and fasteners, not just nails
- Correct flashing at the ledger to protect your home
- Code-compliant railings and stairs that feel solid underfoot
Design Details
Make It Yours
A custom deck should fit how your family actually uses the backyard. Popular additions we design and build:
Railings & Lighting
Composite, metal, or cable railing systems — plus low-voltage lighting that makes the deck usable long after sunset.
Built-In Seating & Cover
Benches, planters, and roof structures that turn a platform into an outdoor room.
Beyond Decks
Pergolas, Gazebos, Porches & More
The same crew and the same standards, applied to the rest of your outdoor space:
- Pergolas — shade and architecture over your deck or patio
- Gazebos — freestanding, fully framed outdoor rooms
- Covered porches — usable in the rain, cooler in the summer
- Custom structures — we've even built a two-level treehouse (the kids approved)
Good Questions
Deck Building FAQs
How much does a custom deck cost in Nashville?
It depends on size, materials, height, and features like railings, stairs, and lighting. Every Deck Hoss deck is built with premium materials and engineered structure — we build for homeowners who want a deck that lasts. Every project starts with a detailed, fixed-price proposal, and the final price matches the quote. No surprises.
Should I choose composite or wood decking?
Composite costs more up front but needs almost no maintenance and handles Tennessee humidity beautifully. Pressure-treated and cedar decks cost less initially and have a natural look, but need periodic staining and sealing. We'll walk you through the trade-offs for your specific project during the consultation.
How long does it take to build a deck?
Most custom decks take one to three weeks of build time once materials are on site, depending on size and complexity. You'll get a realistic timeline in your proposal — and updates throughout the build.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. We handle the permitting process and build to code so your deck passes inspection — and more importantly, so it's genuinely safe and structurally sound for decades.
