What Does a Deck or Screened Porch Cost in Middle Tennessee? (2026 Guide)

Real numbers, from a licensed and insured builder that designs and builds these projects across Nolensville, Brentwood, Franklin, and greater Nashville. Every project is different, but these are honest 2026 ranges for quality work — not teaser prices.

2026 price ranges in Middle Tennessee

New pressure-treated deck (200–400 sq ft, dug and set posts, gravel base, code-compliant railings): roughly $15,000–$30,000. Composite decking upgrade typically adds 30–50%. Screened porch conversion or addition: $25,000–$60,000 depending on roofline complexity and finishes. Full outdoor living build — screened porch plus outdoor kitchen: $45,000–$90,000+. Deck removal and rebuild (failing structures, water pooling underneath): most fall in the $20,000–$35,000 range including demolition, drainage correction, and gravel.

What actually drives the price

Five things move the number more than anything else: structure height and terrain, framing spans and footing count, decking material (pressure-treated vs composite vs hardwood), roof integration for screened rooms, and utilities — gas, water, and electrical for outdoor kitchens. Permits and engineering in Davidson and Williamson County are real line items; a bid that ignores them is a bid that grows later.

How to compare bids without getting burned

Ask every bidder three questions. One: is the company licensed and insured, and will they provide certificates? Two: does the price include permits, inspections, and haul-off? Three: is there a written scope with materials specified by brand and grade? The cheapest number with vague scope is routinely the most expensive project by completion.
