I highly recommend Premier Decks of Knoxville for anyone considering a home improvement project.

The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and completed the job within the expected timeframe. Their professionalism and responsiveness made the entire experience smooth and stress-free.

I was especially impressed with how they treated my property. After finishing the work, they left everything looking fantastic—cleaning up thoroughly and even reseeding the grass, which was a thoughtful touch.

The final result exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be more pleased. I would confidently recommend Premier Decks of Knoxville to anyone wanting high-quality work done right.

We had an amazing experience working with Premier Decks of Knoxville on our custom pool deck, and we truly couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out! From the very beginning, Grant came out to do our initial assessment and quote. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to answer all of our questions, which made us feel confident moving forward right away.

Doug was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire project. He went above and beyond to help me think through design elements and never made me feel like I was asking for too much—even when my ideas added complexity to the build. He really took the time to include me in decisions along the way, which meant so much and made the process feel collaborative instead of overwhelming. The end result is a beautiful, high-quality deck that completely transformed our pool area. You can tell they truly care about their work and their customers.

We could not love our deck more and would highly recommend Premier Decks of Knoxville to anyone looking for quality craftsmanship and a great experience from start to finish!

FAQs

frequently asked questions

Pricing depends on size, material (wood, vinyl, aluminum, composite), design style, and whether it’s freestanding or attached to the home. Custom features like lighting, privacy screens, or upgraded posts increase cost.

Many pergolas do not require permits if they are open-air and non-structural. However, attached pergolas or those with roofing panels, electrical features, or engineered loads may require a permit depending on local code.

Common material options include:

  • Pressure-treated wood – budget-friendly, requires maintenance
  • Cedar or redwood – higher quality, naturally resistant
  • Aluminum – low maintenance, modern look
  • Vinyl – durable, no painting required
  • Composite – premium finish, minimal upkeep

Yes. Attached pergolas are common, but the home’s structure must be evaluated to ensure safe ledger attachment. Freestanding pergolas are an alternative when attachment isn’t feasible.

Most pergola installations take 1–3 days, depending on size, material, and any custom options. Pre-fabricated systems often install faster.

Popular styles include classic post-and-beam, modern/square profiles, arched designs, louvered roofs, privacy wall integration, and hybrid pergola-shade structures. Fully custom layouts are standard.

A standard pergola provides partial shade. For increased coverage, clients often add polycarbonate panels, fabric canopies, shade sails, or adjustable louver systems.

Yes. Concrete patios typically support pergolas with anchor hardware. Decks may require reinforcement to support load at the post locations.

  • Wood: Staining or sealing every 1–3 years
  • Vinyl/Aluminum/Composite: Occasional washing, no staining required
    General inspections for fasteners and stability are recommended.

Primary cost drivers include:

  • High-end materials (aluminum, composite, cedar)
  • Large spans requiring engineered beams
  • Integrated lighting, fans, or electrical work
  • Custom trim, privacy screens, or decorative elements
