Outdoor Living Services
Franklin homeowners take pride in their properties, and that extends past the back door. A well-designed outdoor living space increases what you get out of your home every day, not just at resale. Milliken Builders builds custom outdoor living spaces throughout Franklin that are built to match the quality of the homes they’re attached to.
We specialize in pergolas, covered patios, outdoor kitchen setups, and combination structures that blend seating, cooking, and shade into one cohesive space. Franklin’s Williamson County lots give us room to work, and we make the most of it.
We’re experienced navigating Franklin and Williamson County permit requirements for outdoor structures, and we’ll handle all of that as part of your project. No surprises, no code violations after the fact.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What types of outdoor living projects does Milliken Builders build?
We build pergolas, covered patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pit areas, and combination outdoor living spaces throughout Middle Tennessee. If you have something specific in mind, reach out, we’re happy to discuss it.
Do I need a permit for a pergola or covered patio in Tennessee?
It depends on the structure size and attachment type. Attached structures typically require a permit; freestanding pergolas often do not. Milliken Builders reviews permit requirements for every project and handles the process for you.
What materials do you use for outdoor structures?
We use a mix of pressure-treated lumber, cedar, composite materials, and metal depending on the project. We’ll walk you through material options during your estimate and help you choose what fits your budget and aesthetic.
How long does an outdoor living project take?
Most pergola or covered patio projects take 1–3 weeks. Larger outdoor kitchen builds or full backyard projects can take 3–6 weeks. We’ll give you a clear timeline before we start.
Can you combine a deck and an outdoor living structure?
Yes, many of our projects combine a deck with a pergola or covered roof structure. Designing them together creates a cohesive look and can save money compared to building them separately.
