Deck Builder in Mt. Juliet, TN
Custom decks, covered porches, and pergolas for Mt. Juliet homes — built between two of Middle Tennessee's best lakes, to a standard the builder-grade deck out back never was.
Your home grew up. Your deck should too.
Mt. Juliet has grown faster than almost anywhere in Tennessee — and thousands of its homes came with a deck that was an afterthought: a small builder-grade platform, or a bare concrete pad that has never quite fit the way your family actually lives.
Closing that gap is a big part of what we do here. We replace undersized builder decks with outdoor spaces sized for real life — bigger footprints, low-maintenance composite decking, covered sections for shade, and framing that's engineered rather than merely passable. From Providence, StoneBridge, and Willoughby Station to Del Webb Lake Providence, Nichols Vale, and Jackson Hills, we've measured plenty of ten-by-twelve builder specials — and we know exactly what to put in their place.
With Old Hickory Lake on one side of town and Percy Priest on the other, Mt. Juliet is a lake town at heart. Whether your place is near the water or you simply entertain like it is, we design decks for a crowd: wide stairs, room for the grill and the long table, railing that doesn't block the view, and lighting that keeps the evening going.
Fewer projects. Higher standards.
Builder-grade, upgraded
Much of our Mt. Juliet work is replacing small builder decks with the deck the house should have come with — properly sized, shaded, and built to last.
Low-maintenance composite
Busy households choose composite for a reason: no staining, no sealing, and your weekends back. We install the major brands and stand behind the build.
Fixed-price proposals
Your proposal is detailed and itemized, and the number on it is the number on the final invoice. No allowance games, no surprise extras.
HOA-ready plans
Nearly every newer Mt. Juliet community has architectural review. We provide clean, documented plans that make sign-off straightforward.
Covered porches & pergolas
Tennessee sun is no joke on an open deck. We build covered porches, pergolas, and shade structures that keep the space usable all day.
Veteran-owned
Founded by U.S. Army veteran Hunter Privette on a simple standard: do it right, or don't do it.
What we build in Mt. Juliet
Most Mt. Juliet homes are less than twenty-five years old, which shapes what we are asked to build: not repairs on old decks, but the deck the house should have come with in the first place. Our most common Wilson County projects:
- Replacing ten-by-twelve builder decks with outdoor spaces sized for the way your family and your neighbors actually use the backyard
- Composite decks for busy households that want the weekends back instead of a staining schedule
- Covered porches and pergolas that make a west-facing deck usable through a Tennessee August
- Decks on walkout lots in the hillier sections of Providence and Jackson Hills, with stairs and landings engineered for the grade
- Lake-house decks near Old Hickory Lake and Percy Priest, built for crowds, grills, and railing that does not block the water
See the materials on our composite decking page, roofed structures on covered porches and pergolas, and typical ranges in the deck cost guide.
Providence to Green Hill: where Mt. Juliet builds
The planned communities. Providence is the center of gravity, a large traditional-neighborhood development with an active architectural review process and lots that range from flat to steeply sloped. StoneBridge, Willoughby Station, Nichols Vale, Jackson Hills, and Beckwith Crossing follow the same pattern: newer homes, HOA review, and builder decks that were sized to a budget rather than to a family. Del Webb Lake Providence, the 55-plus community, has some of the most detailed design standards in the county, and we build to them.
Established Mt. Juliet. The neighborhoods off Lebanon Road, North Mt. Juliet Road, and around the older city core were built from the 1970s through the 1990s on larger lots with mature trees. Their original decks are reaching the end of their lives, and replacement here usually means a bigger footprint, a covered section, and framing brought up to current code.
The lake side and the county. Green Hill, Rutland, and the roads toward Old Hickory Lake are largely unincorporated Wilson County, where permits come from the county rather than the city and many homes are on septic systems that limit where a deck can sit. Lake-area homes want decks built for entertaining: wide stairs, room for a long table, and lighting that keeps the evening going. We confirm jurisdiction and septic locations before a design is drawn.
Permits and HOA approval in Mt. Juliet
Inside the city limits, the City of Mt. Juliet’s building and codes department issues residential deck permits; in unincorporated Wilson County, including Green Hill and much of Rutland, the county building codes office does. A new or replacement deck is permitted work with inspections at footings, framing, and final. Nearly every newer Mt. Juliet subdivision adds architectural review through the HOA, and that approval generally needs to be in hand before the permit is pulled.
Deck Hoss prepares the plans, submits the HOA packet, pulls the permit, and schedules inspections, and the schedule in your proposal already accounts for the approvals. See our process page for the sequence, and the deck cost guide for what a typical Wilson County build runs.
What Mt. Juliet homeowners ask before they build
Do I need a permit to build a deck in Mt. Juliet?
Yes. Inside the city limits the permit comes from the City of Mt. Juliet; in unincorporated Wilson County, including Green Hill, it comes from the county. Deck Hoss pulls the permit and schedules the footing, framing, and final inspections on every project.
Can you make my builder deck bigger instead of replacing it?
Sometimes, but rarely well. Builder decks are usually framed to the minimum for their size, and extending them means tying new footings and joists into framing that was not designed for it. In most cases a full rebuild on new footings costs little more and gives you a deck designed as one structure.
Can I add a roof over my deck later?
Only if the deck was framed for it. A covered porch puts concentrated roof loads and wind uplift into posts and footings, and a standard deck is not built to carry that. If a cover is in your future, tell us now and we will size the footings and framing so the roof can be added without rebuilding the deck.
Is composite worth it for a Mt. Juliet home?
For most families here, yes. Composite and PVC decking never need staining or sealing, hold their color, and handle Tennessee humidity without cupping or splintering. The premium over pressure-treated wood is usually recovered in skipped maintenance within a few years.
What does a deck cost in Mt. Juliet?
Every project gets a detailed fixed-price proposal before any work starts, and the final invoice matches it. Replacing a small builder deck with a properly sized composite deck is the most common Mt. Juliet project, and our Nashville deck cost guide shows typical installed ranges by material.
How long does it take?
Most Mt. Juliet decks take one to two weeks on site once the HOA and permit approvals are in hand and materials are delivered. Covered porches and multi-level builds run longer. Your proposal includes a realistic schedule.
