Our Story

How we ended up doing this

We build and repair decks around Bartlett and the surrounding towns. Most of us got into this trade doing framing and rough carpentry, and decks are where the outdoor work and the structural work meet. We like that a deck job gets done in weeks, not months, and you get to use it the same summer.

The decks we get called out to see the most have a ledger board pulling away from the house, which usually means water's been getting behind it for years. We cut that flashing right the first time and pitch the ledger connection so water sheds away from the house instead of soaking into the band joist. If your deck bounces when you walk on it, that's almost always undersized or overspanned joists, and we'll requote the frame instead of just bolting a new board over the problem.

Why Choose Us

What you get when you hire us

None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.

Licensed & Insured

You're covered if something goes wrong on your property while we're working. We can send certificates before the job starts, no hassle.

Written Quotes

We walk the deck or the site with you and put the scope and price on paper before any lumber gets ordered. That way you know what you're paying for and what happens if it changes.

Our Own Crew

We don't hand your job off to a rotating crew of subcontractors we've never met. The same guys who dig your footings are the ones setting your railing.

On-Time Scheduling

Deck jobs get delayed by weather and lumber deliveries, not by us forgetting to show. We'll call if a pour has to wait a day, instead of leaving you wondering.

Material Options

Some homeowners want the lower upfront cost of pine and don't mind staining it every couple years. Others want composite decking and never want to touch a paintbrush again.

Local to Bartlett

Clay soil around Bartlett heaves in wet winters and pulls away from footings in a drought. We set footings deep enough to handle that movement instead of hoping it doesn't happen.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about who's doing the work and how.

How long have you been building decks?
Deck building and repair work is done by a crew with a background in framing and general carpentry, applied specifically to deck structures, footings, and railings. Experience in general construction carries over directly to deck work since the same load and structural principles apply.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
An in-house crew handles deck framing, decking installation, and railing work directly rather than passing the job to rotating subcontractors. The same people who dig the footings are typically the ones who finish the railing and stairs.
Can I see examples of past deck work before hiring?
Photos of completed deck projects, including framing shots taken before the decking goes down, are available on request. Framing photos matter because they show the footing depth and joist spacing that get covered up once the boards go on.
Why hire a local deck builder instead of a large remodeling company?
A local deck builder handles framing, footings, and finish work directly instead of subcontracting pieces out to different crews, which cuts down on miscommunication between trades. Being local also means a faster response if a railing or board needs a warranty fix after the job is done.
Where is Bartlett Deck Co based?
Bartlett Deck Co is based in Bartlett, Tennessee, and takes on deck projects throughout Bartlett and the surrounding Memphis suburbs. Being local to the area means familiarity with the clay soil and drainage issues common to yards in this part of Tennessee.
How far out are you booking new deck projects?
Booking windows for deck projects shift with the season, typically stretching further out during spring and early summer when demand is highest. A current estimate on availability is given at the time a quote is requested.
Do you clean up the job site after a deck build?
Old decking, scrap lumber, and packaging from new materials get hauled off the property once a deck build or repair is finished. The yard gets swept of nails and screws before the crew leaves, since those are the easiest thing to step on later.
What happens if something on my property gets damaged during the work?
Deck construction work is covered by liability insurance, so damage to a fence, landscaping, or siding during the job is covered rather than left for the homeowner to deal with. Any damage gets flagged and addressed before the final walkthrough, not left for the homeowner to discover later.
Will you finish a deck that another contractor started and left unfinished?
Taking over a deck that another contractor left partway through is common, though the existing framing gets inspected first to make sure it's actually sound before building on top of it. Sometimes the framing has to be partly redone if joist spacing or footing depth don't meet code.
How can I tell if my deck was built or is being built correctly?
A correctly built deck has footings poured below the local frost line, joists spaced according to span tables for the decking material used, and a ledger board properly flashed against the house. Asking to see these details, or photos of them from before the decking went down, is the most reliable way to check the work.
