Custom Deck Builder in Farragut, TN
Outdoor Living for Farragut Homes
Farragut neighborhoods are known for well-kept homes, mature trees and backyards made for family time. Around here, a deck isn’t just a place to put the grill. It’s where you host the neighborhood cookout, watch the kids in the yard and unwind under a ceiling fan on a humid July night. Smoky Mountain Deck Builders is based a short drive away on S. Peters Road in west Knoxville, and we’ve completed about twenty projects in the Farragut area, from brand-new covered decks to screen rooms, under-deck ceilings and paver patios.
What We’ve Built in the Farragut Area
- Covered decks with cedar character: new freestanding decks topped with gable roofs framed in cedar timber trusses and finished with tongue-and-groove ceilings.
- A complete outdoor room: a new deck with a shed-gable roof, a western red cedar screen room, a fire pit and a concrete grill pad, engineered for the site with an engineer’s letter.
- Aluminum screen rooms that keep the bugs out with minimal upkeep.
- Under-deck systems with fans and lights that turned the damp space beneath elevated decks into dry, comfortable patios, including one paired with a Deckorators Voyage re-deck.
- Paver patios with retaining walls and raised planters that level out sloped yards.
- Railing upgrades and stair rebuilds with Westbury aluminum and Fortress steel railing.
Covered Decks and Screen Rooms Are Farragut Favorites
If there’s one trend we see in Farragut, it’s homeowners who want more months outside. A covered deck gives you shade in summer and shelter from spring storms, and a cedar tongue-and-groove ceiling makes it feel like part of the house. A screen room goes one step further and keeps mosquitoes out so you can enjoy evenings on the deck all season. Add ceiling fans, LED lighting and a fire feature, and you’ve got the most-used room in your home.
Have an elevated deck with wasted space underneath? An under-deck dry ceiling channels water away so the area below stays dry, a great spot for a lounge, a hot tub or an outdoor kitchen.
Materials That Fit the Neighborhood
Many Farragut homeowners choose composite decking from Trex, TimberTech or Deckorators because it matches the polished look of the neighborhood and skips the yearly staining that wood needs. Aluminum and steel railings give a clean, finished edge, and cedar ceilings and trusses add warmth. We’ll bring samples to your home so you can see colors against your siding and brick.

Permits, HOAs and Planning
Most new decks, roofs and screen rooms need a building permit, and many Farragut subdivisions also have HOA design guidelines. We handle the permit paperwork, build to code and schedule inspections, and we can provide your 3D rendering and drawings for HOA review. Where engineering is needed, like the covered deck and screen room project above, we bring in an engineer before we build.
Our Process
- Phone consultation
- On-site visit with our designer and estimator
- Detailed proposal and 3D rendering
- Permitting, HOA support and planning
- Construction with updates through JobTread, email or text

Most outdoor projects take 3 to 8 weeks from the start of construction, depending on size, materials and weather.
