Professional Deck Installation From Footings to Final Board
A great deck is mostly what you cannot see: footings, posts, beams, joists, flashing and fasteners. We install decks in Nashville with careful framing and clean finishing details so they stay solid, level and safe.

Deck Installation, Done Right
Good installation starts at the ground. We locate utilities, set footings to suit the soil and the load, frame with the right lumber and hardware and flash the ledger so water stays out of your home.
Then come the boards, rails and stairs, all fastened and spaced correctly for the material. The result is a deck that feels solid underfoot and looks sharp from the kitchen window.
Music City Deck & Fence brings deck installation to homes and businesses in Nashville and across 14 Middle Tennessee cities.
