Stairs & Multi-Level Decks in Chattanooga
On a hillside lot, one flat deck often is not enough. Multiple levels, landings and wide stairs step down with the land, creating separate spaces for cooking, dining and relaxing, and connecting your deck to the yard.
Stairs & Multi-Level Decks includes
- Two- and three-level deck designs
- Wide, wraparound and box steps
- Landings for tall or long stair runs
- Stair lighting and riser lights
- Decks that step down to a patio or yard
- Under-deck framing ready for storage or patios
Why go multi-level?
Tiered decks follow the slope instead of fighting it. You get distinct zones (a grilling level near the kitchen, a lounge level a few steps down) without building one huge, very tall structure. They also look great from the yard.
Stairs that feel right
Comfortable stairs have consistent rise and run, solid stringers and a graspable handrail. Long runs may need a landing, and wide steps can double as extra seating. Stairs are designed around how you move between the house, deck and yard.
Plan for what is underneath
A raised deck creates space below. With the right framing and an under-deck drainage system, it can become dry storage or a shaded patio.
Stairs & Multi-Level Decks FAQ
Do multi-level decks cost more?
They usually involve more framing and stairs, so they can cost more per square foot than a single level, but they often avoid the cost of one very tall deck on a steep slope.
Can you add stairs to my existing deck?
Yes. New stairs, landings and handrails can be added or rebuilt on most existing decks.
Can you light the stairs?
Yes. Low-voltage riser and post lights make stairs safer at night and look great.
