Deck restoration - Davidson County
Sylvan Park was laid out in 1887 with streets named for states and filled in with bungalows through the 1920s to 40s, while The Nations next door has seen heavy infill building in recent years. So one street can hold a seventy-year-old back deck on original framing and a brand-new one on a tall new house, and they need very different things.
Sylvan Park was established in 1887, with streets named for states, and filled in mostly with bungalows in the 1920s through the 40s, around what is now McCabe Golf Course. The Nations, just north across Charlotte Avenue, has seen much of its older housing replaced by new, taller infill. That makes West Nashville one of the few places where we routinely restore a seventy-year-old deck and a two-year-old one on the same street, and they need almost opposite things.
On older houses the work usually starts underneath: checking the ledger and posts, replacing rotten boards and stair treads, and stripping old paint or solid stain from floor boards. Surfaces past patching get resurfaced on the existing frame.
On new builds the question is timing. New pressure-treated lumber is often still wet; the Southern Forest Products Association's test is to sprinkle water on it - if it beads, the wood is not ready. Once it soaks in, a light clean and a first coat of stain or sealer sets the deck up properly from the start. New privacy fences benefit from the same treatment.
We also work nearby in Green Hills and west toward Bellevue.
