Deck restoration - Davidson County
Nashville covers everything from hundred-year-old bungalows to post-war brick ranches and new infill, but the weather it throws at a deck is the same everywhere: about 50 inches of rain a year, humid summers in the 90s and a couple of months of hard frosts. Across the city, most restoration jobs come down to the same order of work - fix what is soft or loose, clean and brighten, then a finish chosen for how much sun the deck gets.
NOAA's 1991-2020 normals for Nashville International Airport put the city at about 50 inches of rain a year, with March, April and May all above four and a half inches and May the wettest month of all. July highs average just over 90 degrees, and around 66 days a year get down to freezing, most of them between December and March. The wettest weekend on record here was May 1-2, 2010, when more than 13 inches fell in two days. Wood outdoors takes all of it: wet springs, hot sun, humid shade and a winter of freezes.
Across the city the job tends to follow the same sequence. Anything structural first - ledger, joists, posts and railings - then board repair or, where the surface is worn through, resurfacing. Then cleaning and brightening, stripping if an old film is peeling, and finally stain or a clear sealer chosen for how much sun the deck gets. Fences and pergolas are often done alongside.
The details change with the housing stock: century-old houses in East Nashville and Sylvan Park, brick ranches in Green Hills and Donelson, tall decks on the slopes of Bellevue, lake-area homes in Madison and Old Hickory, and larger suburban decks in Brentwood.
