Custom Deck Builder in Maryville, TN
Decks With a View of the Foothills
Maryville has some of the best mountain views in East Tennessee, with the Smokies rising just beyond town. It also has some of the trickiest building lots: hillsides, rocky ground and backyards that drop away from the house. That’s where a well-designed deck earns its keep. Smoky Mountain Deck Builders has completed more than fifteen projects in Maryville, from freestanding decks built on rough terrain to railing upgrades, screen room rebuilds and a composite dock re-deck on the water.

Building on Maryville’s Hills
A deck on a slope needs more than good looks. Taller posts, properly sized beams and solid footings are what keep an elevated deck safe for decades. On several Maryville projects we built freestanding decks, which stand on their own footings instead of hanging from the house. That can be a smart choice on uneven ground or where the house wall isn’t suited for a ledger. We’ll look at your lot during the site visit and recommend the approach that fits.
Once the structure is right, the fun part is choosing the look. Composite decking from Trex, TimberTech and Deckorators resists fading, staining and mold and never needs staining. Cable railing is the go-to when there’s a view to protect, and aluminum railing offers a sleek, durable finish at a range of price points. Learn more on our custom decks page.
Re-Decking: A Fresh Start for a Solid Deck
If your deck’s frame is still sound but the boards are splintered, faded or soft, a re-deck can give you a brand-new surface for less than a full rebuild. Many Maryville homeowners have made the switch from wood to composite this way. While we’re at it, we check railings, stairs and connections and recommend any code updates, so your “new” deck is safe as well as beautiful.
Screen Rooms, Pergolas and Fire Features
Maryville evenings are perfect for sitting outside, as long as the bugs cooperate. A screen room keeps them out while letting the breeze in. For open-air shade, a pergola with a ceiling fan pairs beautifully with an outdoor fireplace or fire pit, like the one we built for a Maryville family.
Docks Near Maryville

Maryville FAQ
Can you build a deck on a steep lot?
Yes. Sloped and rough terrain is common in Maryville, and we design the footings, posts and beams for the site.
Should I re-deck or rebuild?
If the frame is sound, a re-deck is often the best value. If framing is rotted or out of code, a rebuild may be smarter. We’ll give you an honest recommendation after we inspect it.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, through Enhancify. See our financing page.
