Custom Deck Builders in Sparta, TN

Composite and wood decks built to last.

Deck Construction and Deck Replacement Across Sparta and the Upper Cumberland

The deck behind your house probably wasn’t a priority when it was built. Usually, the deck is added last, after most of the budget is gone. That’s why many homes end up with a small, non-descript platform outside the back door, intended to be improved later.

Now is the time to make a change. The boards are turning gray, some feel soft underfoot, and the railing is loose. You want to use your backyard for grilling, spending time with grandchildren, or relaxing after dinner. Deckmasters builds the deck you should have had from the start, designed for your lifestyle and finished to look like it truly belongs with your home.

What Goes Into a Deckmasters Deck

Number one grade framing lumber, or better.

Local lumberyards stock a #2 grade as their standard. Deckmasters buys only #1 grade from reputable sources. The frame is the part nobody sees and the part that decides how long the deck lasts.

Composite as the default, wood when it makes sense.

Pressure-treated lumber is not what it used to be. The government pulled the old arsenic-based treatment and replaced it with a copper-based formula that doesn't last as long in this climate. Composite costs more on day one and less over the years you own it, since there is no staining, sealing, or board replacement. If you are moving in a few years, treated lumber may still be the right choice, and Lee will help you make that decision based on your situation.

Composite skirting for a finished edge.

Many of our composite decks get wrapped underneath in matching composite material. It closes off the space below, keeps critters and clutter out of sight, and gives the whole structure a trimmed, built-in look.

Taped framing under composite decking.

Every wood member beneath the deck boards gets taped with deck tape. Water that works down between boards hits a protected surface instead of open end grain, which is where rot starts on most decks.

Colors, boards, and railing you pick.

There is a wide range of decking colors and board styles, plus several railing lines kept in stock. If you have seen something specific on Pinterest or on a house down the road, bring the photo. Custom railing and post details can be done, including flat drink rails for the top rail.

Code-compliant, and often past it.

Our crews build to local code as a minimum, and many times above code requirements. Deckmasters can pull permits and coordinate with code officials, or work alongside you if you would rather handle that part.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on how long you plan to stay in your home. Composite costs more at first but saves money over time because you won’t need to stain, seal, or replace boards. Treated wood is cheaper to install but needs maintenance every few years. If you’re planning to stay for good, composite is usually the better choice. Lee will show you both options with samples.
The cost depends on your project. Size, materials, height, railing style, stairs, and skirting all affect the price. We can’t give an honest quote over the phone, so both the walkthrough and the quote are free.
Most decks are built in just a few days once our crew starts. Depending on the size of your project, it can take two to three months to get on the schedule. However, our crews focus on one job at a time, so once we start, we finish your deck promptly.
You often need a permit, depending on your location and deck size. Deckmasters can handle the permit process, or we can work with you if you prefer to handle it yourself.
Sometimes it’s possible. If the frame is still in good shape, we can resurface the deck. With older treated decks, the frame is often the problem, and our teak will let you know what they find instead of just covering up a bad structure.
Yes, we build pool decks too. We can create multi-level designs and include all the railing and skirting details you desire.
We offer a wide range of composite colors and board styles, and we keep several railing options in stock. If you want something special, we can customize railings, post wraps, and add features like drink rails.
