Deck Building in Athens, TN

It’s easier to enjoy the good stuff—meals, company, quiet time, when the deck feels like it belongs there.

Why People Around Athens Choose Riverview Decks

In Athens, the weather doesn’t go easy on outdoor spaces. One summer of heat and storms is enough to test any deck—and if it wasn’t built well to begin with, you’ll feel it fast.

Our crew takes the time to get the structure right—setting footings deep, spacing joists correctly, and fastening everything so it stays put. We’ve built decks all over Athens and know how to adjust for the slope, soil, and layout of your yard. You’ll get a clear plan, help choosing materials, and regular updates while we’re on site.

We’ll take care of permits and inspections, walk you through each step, and show you where every dollar goes.

★★★★★ 5/5

Nate and his team were professional and efficient. We were in constant communication.

I have 3 dogs that the workers were mindful of by keeping the gate closed and not leaving any nails or screws as a hazard.

JC and/or Nate were here everyday to ensure quality and perfection.

There is no one else I would recommend for your deck both new or repairs. I only wish I could give more than 5 stars!

What Does Deck Building Cost in Athens, TN?

Every house, every view, every idea changes the price. A simple pressure-treated deck runs in the low five figures. If you want composite boards, metal railings, or multiple levels, the cost goes up. We walk your yard, discuss your needs, and deliver a clear, line-item estimate that reflects your vision.

FAQs About Deck Building in Athens, TN

How long will my deck take to build?

Most standard decks are done in one to two weeks. Permits can add several days. You’ll get a full schedule in writing, and we’ll keep you updated each day.

Do I need a permit for deck building?

Yes. Athens and McMinn County require permits for most decks—especially those attached to your home or elevated. We handle the paperwork and inspections so you don’t have to worry.

What should I choose—wood or composite?

Treated wood is cost-effective and works well with our climate if you maintain it. Composite costs more up front but resists fading and rot. We bring samples, show you how each feels and ages, and help you pick what suits your lifestyle.

How do you make sure the deck lasts?

We install ledger boards with proper flashing, set footings in concrete, space joists to code, and use hardware rated for outdoor use. Every connection, board, and fastener is built to stand up to rain, sun, and time here in East Tennessee.
