Our Founder
Meet Duane West
Duane West is the heart behind DW Construction, a seasoned builder with a passion for turning outdoor spaces into places families love. With over two decades of hands-on experience, Duane built this business from the ground up with a simple mission: deliver quality work, stand behind every project, and treat people right.
What started as a one-man operation has grown into a trusted name across Middle Tennessee. But some things haven’t changed. Duane still brings the same personal care and attention to every job site. Whether he’s designing a custom deck or checking in with a homeowner, he brings a calm confidence that only comes from years of doing the work himself.
When you work with DW Construction, you’re working with Duane from the first conversation to the final walkthrough.
What Guides Our Work
The values Behind Every Project
Honesty First
We believe in clear communication and upfront expectations. No pushy sales tactics—just honest conversations, fair pricing, and trustworthy service every step of the way.
Built to Last
We take pride in building things the right way, not the fast way. Every detail reflects our commitment to quality craftsmanship and long-term durability you can count on.
People Matter
We treat every homeowner like a neighbor. That means listening closely, respecting your home and vision, and staying personally involved from the first plan to the final walkthrough.
Our Perspective
What Outdoor Living Means to Us
At DW Construction, we don’t just build patios and porches. We create spaces where life happens. A well-designed deck isn’t just a platform. It’s where birthday candles get blown out. It’s where quiet mornings begin and long conversations end. For us, outdoor living is about comfort, connection, and a space that fits naturally into how you live.
That’s why we take every detail seriously. From the way a railing meets the post to how your project lines up with the afternoon sun, craftsmanship isn’t an afterthought. It’s baked into every cut and corner. We build outdoor spaces that look beautiful, work hard, and feel like they belong.
Built With Care
Where Every Detail Counts
We know that quality isn’t just about structure, it’s about intention. Every cut, seam, and finish is a reflection of our dedication to craftsmanship. We don’t rush. We don’t cut corners. We obsess over the little things because they’re what make the big picture stand out.

Rooted in Middle Tennessee
Community Roots, local Pride
DW Construction isn’t just based in Middle Tennessee, it’s built on it. Our roots run deep in the communities we serve, from historic towns to new neighborhoods. We know the terrain, the styles, and the people because we live here, too. That local connection shapes every project, helping us create outdoor spaces that feel like home. When you choose DW Construction, you’re not hiring a company, you’re working with a neighbor who cares about getting it right.
