Deck restoration - Davidson County
Green Hills was platted in the 1920s and built out mostly after World War II, largely as brick ranch houses, with Hillsboro Pike running through the middle. Many of those houses have decks added later, and on a brick house the way the deck was attached matters: deck construction guidance now prohibits hanging a ledger on brick veneer, and older decks often did exactly that.
Green Hills was platted in 1926 and built out mostly after World War II, largely as brick ranch houses around Hillsboro Pike. The decks behind them were usually added decades later, and two things define them. First, the shade: mature trees keep boards damp and grow mildew. Second, the brick. Deck construction guidance (AWC DCA 6) prohibits attaching a ledger to brick veneer, and on older additions that is exactly how many were built.
Every deck on a brick house gets its ledger checked under structural repair; where it hangs on the veneer, the usual fix is to support that edge on its own beam and posts. Shade calls for thorough mildew cleaning and a finish that handles damp - often a toner or clear sealer rather than a heavy stain, which the sun would not wear through evenly anyway. Sunnier decks get semi-transparent stain.
We also see peeling solid stains that need stripping, damp-rotted boards for repair, older surfaces ready for resurfacing, and pergolas and fences for staining to match.
The same streets continue into Oak Hill around Radnor Lake State Natural Area, then south to Brentwood and west to Sylvan Park.
