Raised & Second-Story Decks

When the back door is a story above the yard, an elevated deck is the natural answer. It turns an unused exterior door into an outdoor room, and the space underneath can become a dry patio or storage area. Because the structure carries real height, the footings, posts, beams, bracing and connections matter more than anything.

We build raised and second-story decks for homeowners in Nashville and across Middle Tennessee. We plan heavy-duty framing, attach to the house with proper flashing, add code-compliant railings and stairs and finish the underside if you want a usable space below.

FAQ

Common questions about raised & second-story decks

Are elevated decks safe?

When designed and built properly, yes. We use correct footings, connections, bracing and rails and follow local requirements.

Can you build a dry space under it?

Yes. An under-deck ceiling and drainage system can make the area below usable.

How do you attach it to the house?

We use a properly fastened ledger with flashing to keep water out, or a freestanding frame when that suits the house better.
