Delivering exceptional craftsmanship and personalized service to every project we handle.
Why do most decks in East Tennessee fail after only 10 years? It’s not the wood—it’s the construction. In Knoxville’s humidity, a deck is only as good as its foundation and water management. While other companies send salespeople to give you a “rough estimate,” I personally visit your home to provide a technical evaluation.
deck builder in Knoxville, I specialize in both new deck installation and full deck replacement for aging structures.”
At MI Homesiding LLC, we don’t just build decks; we engineer outdoor living spaces. As a family-run business, Mel Hernandez brings the precision of blueprint analysis and itemized takeoffs to every project, ensuring you get a rock-solid structure without paying for wasted materials.
We compete with the big franchises by offering better technical details at a more personal level:
Blueprint-Level Accuracy: I analyze the structural requirements of your specific site. No “guessing” on post sizes or joist spacing.
Advanced Water Management: We use specialized flashing and under-deck drainage options to prevent the #1 cause of rot in Tennessee: water trapping against the house.
True “Owner-Operated” Service: You won’t be handed off to a project manager. I am involved in the takeoff, the material selection, and the final quality check.
Premium Pressure-Treated Wood: We select high-grade southern yellow pine, treated for maximum rot and termite resistance. Ideal for the classic Knoxville look.
Luxury Composite (Trex / Azek): Get the 25-year warranty of a composite deck. We are experts in hidden fastener systems for a smooth, screw-free surface that’s easy on bare feet.
Structural Deck Repairs: Before you spend $20k on a new deck, let me inspect your frame. If your structure is sound, we can often save you 50% by performing a “deck re-skin”—replacing only the surface boards and railings.
A deck lasts longer when it’s properly maintained. We offer deck maintenance and upgrade services to protect your investment and improve how the space looks and functions.
This includes:
If your deck feels outdated or unsafe, we’ll explain what can be fixed and what should be replaced.
Honest Estimates: “We provide an itemized takeoff including every joist, hanger, and screw. Because I use my margin standard, you pay for the quality of the build, not for corporate overhead.”
Zero Waste: My ability to perform exact takeoffs means you don’t pay for extra wood that ends up in a landfill.
Local Compliance: We handle the permitting and ensure every deck meets or exceeds Knoxville building codes for safety.
