I would definitely like to start off by saying these guys know what they are doing! My fence and my hand rails look amazing. I actually stop and stare at it every time I pull into my drive way. I would highly recommend Proper deck and fence for anyone looking to put up a new fence, deck or just looking to upgrade. They did exactly what they said they were going to do and I couldn’t be happier.

Best experience! Mat was thorough with great attention to detail. He built a beautiful custom gate door along with my fence. I am so happy with the outcome, pricing and speed of the project.

This company is amazing! Matt came out the same day I called to make appointment for a quote and next day received the quote. He stayed on schedule, cleaned up the mess from tear down of old deck and hauled it away. His quote included staining. My new deck is amazing! I am so glad I went with Proper Deck and Fence. I had not been able to use my old deck for a couple of years due to its condition. Now I can go out every day and enjoy the outside. Love my new deck! Thank you Matt for doing an amazing job!

I had a great experience working with Proper Deck and Fence. The team went above and beyond to make sure my vision for the deck came to life. They were incredibly flexible throughout the process, making adjustments as needed, and still managed to keep the prices very competitive. I couldn’t be happier with the final result, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and excellent customer service.

I had a couple places from around my area give me an estimate to set up fences around my hose but honestly I didn't if I was getting a fair price until I found Proper D&F, the guys got everything done sooner than promised and they even clean the area before leaving, dealing with polite people always makes everything better, great job guys 👍

Frequently Asked Questions

Who issues deck and fence permits in Smyrna, TN?

The Town of Smyrna Building & Codes Department handles permits for properties within town limits. Properties in unincorporated Rutherford County near Smyrna go through Rutherford County instead. We verify your jurisdiction at quoting and manage the full permit process.

Can you build a deck on a small lot in one of Smyrna’s newer subdivisions?

Yes, and we do it frequently. We design compact decks, multi-level configurations, and covered structures that work within tight rear yards along the Sam Ridley corridor. We’ll draw up options to scale at your estimate.

Is there a cost difference between cedar and vinyl fence in Smyrna?

Cedar typically runs slightly less upfront. Vinyl has zero maintenance cost over its lifespan, with no staining or replacing warped boards. We’ll give you a side-by-side 10-year cost comparison at your estimate.

Do you install fencing near Smyrna Airport or along the industrial corridors?

Yes. We handle residential and light commercial fence projects throughout Smyrna including near the airport and TN-102. Call 615-283-0451 to discuss your project.

How close to the property line can a fence be installed in Smyrna?

Smyrna requires fences to be installed inside the property line, typically 4 to 6 inches inside the surveyed line. We review your property survey or pull county GIS records before every install.
