Hey there! I’m Nate, the owner of Riverview Decks. I learned from when I was a kid what decks are really for. Every Sunday, rain or shine, my dad cooked dinner outside on our deck.

No excuses. That was the rule. It didn’t matter what else was going on: we showed up, sat down, and shared a meal as a family. Those nights shaped everything: how we stayed close, how we communicated, how we appreciated the little things.

Now, with every deck I build, I try to recreate that feeling for other people. If I can help you create a beautiful deck where your family comes together, connects, and makes new memories, I’ve done my job.

Riverview Decks were amazing. They didn’t just sell us materials, but worked with us to develop the right solution. They took care of all of the permits and worked with the city to get everything approved.

Their attention to detail and craftsmanship were beyond expectations. We couldn’t be happier with how our new deck turned out and their staff was nothing but true southern hospitality.

What Calhoun Weather Does to Decks

Calhoun sits in McMinn County, where the Hiwassee River runs through town, and if you’ve lived here any length of time, you know what the weather does to anything built outside. Summers get hot and sticky with humidity that never really breaks. Winter brings freezes that crack weak materials, then warm days that thaw everything out before freezing again. Spring storms roll through hard and fast. Most properties here have room to build something substantial, but only if you use materials that can handle the constant moisture and temperature shifts.

We’ve been building decks in this area long enough to know what fails and what lasts. Composite outperforms wood in every way that counts. We frame everything to handle ground movement and drainage because the soil here doesn’t stay put, especially near the river. A deck that wasn’t planned for local conditions will start showing cracks, sags, or loose boards within the first two years.

Deck Building

We build around how you plan to use the space, not around what might look impressive in photos.

We come to your property, talk through what makes sense, and design something that works with your land and budget. If you want a pergola for shade, built-in benches, or lighting for night use, we plan that in from the start so everything integrates cleanly. You end up with a deck that suits your home and doesn’t require constant upkeep to stay functional.

Now with lifetime warranty

As long as your deck stands, we’ll cover our craftsmanship, and even transfer it if you decide to sell your home! Enjoy the only infinity warranty in Tennessee!

Deck Replacement

Boards that flex underfoot mean the structure below has failed. Railings that move when you lean on them are a safety problem. At some point, patching stops making sense and you’re just throwing money at something that needs to be torn out and rebuilt.

We remove the entire deck, inspect the footings and foundation for rot or settling, and rebuild from scratch. The new build will outlast the old one by decades because we address what caused the original failure instead of covering it up.

Deck Repair

Rotted boards and loose railings get worse with every season. If the underlying frame is still solid, we can shore up what needs reinforcement and replace damaged sections. We check for insect activity, water intrusion, and anything that doesn’t meet building codes. You’ll get a complete explanation of what we find and a clear price before we start any work. No hidden costs, no surprises.

How the Process Actually Goes

We schedule around your timeline, keep the work area contained, and tell you what’s happening each day before anyone shows up.

Walk Your Property

We visit your home, listen to what you’re planning, and design something that fits your land and budget.

Get It Built

We handle permits through McMinn County, order materials, and give you a clear schedule so you know when we’ll be working and when we’ll wrap up.

Walk You Through the Finished Deck

The crew finishes the installation, cleans everything up each afternoon, and shows you the completed project when it’s done.

Who's Doing the Work

You’re trusting strangers with your property, which isn’t something people take lightly. Our crew has 60+ years of combined experience, and they treat your home the same way they’d treat their own. They show up when they say they will, introduce themselves, and ask permission before going into different areas of your yard or moving anything.

When we uncover something unexpected, rotted framing or footings that were set wrong originally, you hear about it immediately. We explain what the problem is, why it matters, and what the proper fix involves. No vague answers, no surprise charges when the bill arrives.

Tools get stored at the end of each day. Materials stay in one location where they won’t interfere with your daily routine. When the crew leaves each afternoon, the site is clean and safe. You can still use your yard normally. That’s standard on every job we do.

Cleanup Is Part of the Job

Construction generates mess, but we contain it to the immediate work area. Materials stay stacked in one spot. We protect landscaping before starting. Pathways stay clear so you can move in and out of your house without navigating an obstacle course.

Before leaving each afternoon, scrap gets loaded in the truck, tools get put away, and we sweep up sawdust and loose hardware. You won’t find construction trash on your porch or in your driveway. If we track something where it doesn’t belong, we clean it up right then. Spills get handled immediately, not later.

When the deck is finished, we do a final cleanup of everything. You shouldn’t have to do anything before you start using the space. That’s the standard because we understand you’re trusting us with your home.

Projects Around Calhoun

We’ve built decks on all kinds of properties in McMinn County. Sloped lots that needed grading, flat yards with easy access, homes with gardens, and old trees we had to preserve. Some required multi-level designs, others involved connecting to existing patios or porches. Every one of them is still structurally sound and performing the way it should.

About Calhoun, Tennessee

Calhoun is a town in McMinn County located along the Hiwassee River where Highway 11 runs through the center of town. The area developed around agriculture and river commerce, and many families here have roots going back generations. Most residents own their homes on properties with enough land for gardens, outbuildings, and outdoor spaces. Students attend McMinn County Schools, and the town keeps a small-town feel despite being near larger communities like Cleveland and Athens. Building a deck in Calhoun means accounting for river humidity, seasonal temperature extremes, and soil that shifts with moisture and freeze cycles.

Absolutely fantastic product, and many thanks to all the folks making our project a big success!!!!

Manny, the crew, the onsite attention to detail, and the office folks were and are great. Everyone’s job from beginning to the nice gift box at the end was to make us happy and to make sure everything they did was great. Could not be happier with our Deckorator deck!

The old 32 year old wooden deck is history. Hey, no problem, go ahead and do a new deck yourself. This is the way we went. We will never regret it. We decided to pay more and love it!!!!

Stay In The Know With Your Deck Project

What's the most important when building a deck?

Besides thinking about how much you’re willing to spend on a deck, it’s important to consider the location of your deck. If your deck faces North, for example, you may have limited hours of sun. If your deck faces East or West, you’ll be getting plenty of sun, so shading structures might be a great addition.

Next, think long-term. Wooden decks cost less but require more maintenance, which means both time and money. Composite decks cost more, but they’re hand-off the minute they’re complete. That’s why considering your material options also plays an important role.

If you’re not sure where to start, give us a call, and we’ll be happy to help with a consultation for your deck building project.

How fast can you build my deck?

We can build many of our decks as quickly as one day. A standard, 12×12 lumber deck can be done in 3 days as well. However, if you want a large, custom deck, the timeline can extend to up to a week or more.

Do I need a permit for building a deck?

Yes, the state of Tennessee requires a permit for any work done to your home that implies an exit, such as a deck, a patio, or a stoop. The Riverview Decks team will take care of filing for and getting your permits wherever necessary. City inspectors will check every milestone of the project.

Should I choose a wood deck or a composite deck?

While a composite deck may be more expensive up-front, it’s a wise investment in the long run. This is because composite decks are low-maintenance and come with 25-30 years of warranty.

The only maintenance you will need to perform on a composite deck is to pressure wash it every once in awhile. A wooden deck will require periodic staining, as well as replacing warped or cracked boards and stiffening loose handrails.

What influences the budget of my deck?

The price of your deck is influenced by many factors, with size, height, and number of stairs being the most important. Decking surfaces and your choice of materials also matter a lot, as well as handrail options or other features you’d like to add.

Do you offer any warranties?

Yes! You’ll get an industry-leading lifetime warranty on products and all composite decks.

In addition, our limited-to-lifetime warranty on manufacturer materials ensures that your deck will stay in great condition for as long as you own it.

Been Waiting for the Right Time? This Is It

Saturday mornings could be spent outside with coffee instead of scrolling through your phone indoors. Your family could gather for dinner on summer evenings because you’ve got somewhere comfortable to be. Friends could come over because you finally have room to host them properly.

We’ve built it more than a thousand times for families across East Tennessee. The people who call us have been thinking about it for months or years and decided to stop putting it off.

Our crew brings 60+ years of combined experience. We back every deck with a Double Lifetime Workmanship Warranty that covers you as long as you own your home and transfers to the next owner if you sell.
