Two Decades of Framing in Thompson's Station, TN
Nixon Renovations started 24 years ago with a simple focus on dependable carpentry. We don’t subcontract our core structural work to whoever happens to be available that week. You get experienced carpenters on-site who understand local codes, inspector preferences, and how to handle tricky backyard slopes.
We know where decks fail over time and build ours to avoid those weak points from day one.
We handle all Williamson County permitting, setbacks, and structural inspections so you don't have to guess.
We keep equipment organized, sweep up debris daily, and treat your property like someone lives there—because you do.
We back our labor and structural framing long after the last board is screwed down.
How We Run a Job Site
A smooth project comes down to setting expectations early and showing up when promised. Here is how we take a job from an initial conversation to finished carpentry.
We inspect your property layout, measure wall dimensions, evaluate yard drainage, and calculate grade changes to plan secure post footings and stairs.
We discuss your functional goals, compare timber versus composite decking options, choose complimentary railing styles, and finalize a detailed written quote.
Our crew pours deep concrete footings, sets posts, constructs heavy-duty joists, fastens deck boards cleanly, and builds secure railings and steps.
We scrub the deck surface, clear construction debris, sweep the driveway with magnets for stray hardware, and inspect every detail with you.

Questions We Get Asked Most
Most residential deck builds take three to seven working days on-site once construction begins. The overall timeline—from your first call to completion—is usually three to five weeks. That accounts for site measurements, material orders, and waiting on county permit approval. If we encounter heavy rain or soft ground conditions, we'll let you know immediately how it affects the schedule.
Pricing depends mostly on square footage, site elevation, material choice, and details like custom railings or integrated steps. Pressure-treated lumber has a lower initial material cost, while composite deck boards carry a higher upfront investment but cut out ongoing staining and sealing. We provide clear, itemized quotes upfront so you know exactly where every dollar goes before work starts.
Treated pine looks great and provides excellent natural structural strength, but it requires pressure washing and staining every two to three years to stop graying, splitting, and warping under the Tennessee sun. Composite boards cost more initially, but they don't rot, splinter, or need stain. If you want to spend weekends enjoying your deck rather than maintaining it, composite is usually worth the investment.
We repair existing decks whenever the main structural frame is still in good shape. If your support posts, beams, and joists are rot-free, level, and built to current safety codes, we can simply replace the top decking boards, steps, and railings. If the subframe is rotting or undersized, rebuilding from the footings up is the only safe option.
Yes. Custom additions are easiest to build directly into the frame during initial construction. We regularly build custom bench seating, privacy walls, low-voltage riser lights on steps, and timber pergolas that provide shade over dining areas.
We inspect the frame during our site visit. We check where posts meet concrete footings, look closely at joists for rot or insect damage, and check the ledger board connection at the house wall. If those main structural points are solid and properly flashed, re-decking is a practical path forward.
For wood decks, expect to sweep off leaves regularly, wash off pollen in spring, and re-apply a quality water-repellent stain every few years. For composite surfaces, a gentle wash with mild dish soap, warm water, and a soft brush once or twice a year keeps dirt and mildew from building up.
Look for a contractor with verified local license and insurance credentials, a solid portfolio of finished local jobs, and clear communication.
