Deck Building and Deck Repair in Chattanooga, TN
New decks in composite or wood, structural repairs, and rebuilds designed around how you actually use your backyard.
Craften Roofing & Exteriors builds and repairs decks for homeowners across Chattanooga and Hamilton County, TN. We work in composite, including Trex, and in pressure-treated or cedar lumber, handling the permit, footings, framing, railings and stairs. Most decks are built in one to two weeks. Estimates are free and owner Bryan Casey designs and oversees each build.
Deck services
New deck construction. From a simple grilling platform off the kitchen to a multi-level deck on a sloped Chattanooga lot. We handle design, permits, footings, framing, decking, railings, stairs and lighting.
Deck repair. Loose railings, soft boards, a wobbly stair stringer, a ledger board pulling away from the house. We fix the structural issue first, then the surface.
Deck rebuilds and resurfacing. When the framing is sound but the boards and railings are shot, we can keep the structure and replace the surface with composite for a deck that looks new and needs almost no upkeep.
Composite, pressure-treated pine or cedar
What each decking material costs you up front, and what it costs you later.
| Composite (Trex and similar) | Pressure-treated pine | Cedar | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upkeep | No staining, no splinters, no rot | Needs sealing every couple of years | Naturally rot-resistant, still needs care |
| Upfront cost | Highest | Lowest | Middle |
| Best for | Homeowners who plan to stay in the house | Getting the most deck for the budget | A natural wood look without going to pine |
| Lifespan in this climate | Decades with near-zero maintenance | Long, if you keep it sealed | Long, with periodic sealing |
Signs your deck needs attention
- Boards that feel spongy or flex underfoot
- Railings that move when you lean on them
- Rusted or missing joist hangers and fasteners
- The ledger board where the deck meets the house is pulling away or shows rot
- Cracked, splintered or cupped boards after years of sun
- Stairs that shift or have loose treads
Built for sloped lots and Tennessee weather
A lot of Chattanooga yards fall away from the house. That is exactly where a deck earns its keep, and exactly where footings, posts and bracing need to be done right.
We design for the slope, and we build for the humidity that eats untreated wood in a few seasons.
