Deck Remodel?

Looking for recommendations of local outfits that could help me replace a very modest sized deck in my backyard in cool springs. Looking to do a polywood type product but don't want to spend the equivalent of a new Toyota.

Hate to break it to you, but even a “modest” new deck is probably going to be 5 figures. Franklin now requires a permit, which means codes inspections, submitted plans, licensed contractor, etc. Plus the “Franklin tax”, where you get charged 30% more because you’re “rich”.

Our neighbor used Deck Doctor a few years ago for a pretty big project - deck, roof, screen porch, etc - and was pretty happy. Still looks good.

Yeah...your best bet in that case is to DIY it. Just be warned that installing Trex is a bit different than standard decking. Youtube can assist there with needed.

Call Bill @ Precision Decks.

Father and son operation. Fairly priced. They can do a composite wood (Trex select), but they don't have the best material selections like you'd get with Harpeth or one of the other people around town.

You will be spending the equivalent of a new Toyota no matter who you go with. In my case, it was about $30,000 to refinish and expand an existing deck. A few other quotes were in the 40-50k range.

If you want a trustworthy local guy who does the majority of the work himself and is very good on price and high quality, talk to Tom Tarjan - www.pro4homesolutions.com

He lives in Brentwood.
