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.

– Jeff Guthrie

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 Works in Riceville's Climate

Riceville sits between Athens and Niota in a stretch of McMinn County where the weather changes fast and hits hard. You get heavy afternoon rain in summer, mornings below freezing in winter, and humidity that never really quits. The houses here are spread out, most with enough land to add something substantial out back, but that same property sits on soil that drains slowly and shifts as seasons change.

We’ve built decks throughout this part of East Tennessee for years. Composite materials outperform wood in every way that matters. They handle the moisture, they don’t crack when temperatures drop, and they require almost no upkeep. We also build the frame to account for ground movement and drainage patterns specific to this area. A deck that wasn’t planned for local conditions will sag, warp, or pull loose within two years.

Deck Building

You tell us how you actually plan to use the space, and we design around that. We walk your property, talk through what fits your budget, and figure out the best layout. If you want built-in seating, a pergola for shade, or lighting for evenings outside, we add it during the planning phase so everything integrates properly. The end result is a deck that matches your home, suits your land, and doesn’t require constant maintenance 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

We tear out the old structure completely, inspect the footings and foundation, and rebuild from the ground up. You get a deck that’s level, stable, meets current building codes, and comes with our Double Lifetime Warranty. The new build will outlast the old one by decades because we fix what caused the original problems in the first place.

Deck Repair

Loose boards and wobbly railings get worse, not better. If the underlying structure is still sound, we can reinforce what needs support and replace what’s rotted or damaged. We check for insect activity, water damage, and code violations. You’ll get a full explanation of what we find and a clear price for fixing it before we start work. No guesswork, no hidden costs.

Why Homeowners Keep Our Number

We’re Deckorators Elite certified builders. That means we completed their training, met their installation standards, and demonstrated we can build their products the right way. The certification extends your manufacturer’s warranties on both materials and workmanship. If something fails years later, both we and Deckorators back the repair.

Composite decking holds up better than wood in Riceville’s conditions. It doesn’t absorb water, so rot and insects aren’t issues. The boards stay dimensionally stable through humidity swings, which means no splintering, no gaps opening up, and a surface that remains flat. You clean it with a hose and soap when it gets dirty. Wood needs staining every two years and still ends up faded and warped despite the effort. Composite costs more upfront, but you’re not replacing boards or spending your weekends on maintenance.

Hiring a certified builder means accountability runs through the manufacturer and through us. Problems with installation or materials get resolved directly. You’re not left trying to sort out who’s responsible for what. The warranty follows the house if you sell, which makes your property more valuable to buyers. You’re building something properly supported, not just adding a structure that might cause headaches later.

We’ve been trained, vetted, and certified by one of the top deck material manufacturers in the country. You get expert-level installation, extended product warranties, and a deck that’s built the right way.

How the Process Goes

Construction doesn’t have to disrupt your entire household. We schedule around your timeline, keep the work area contained, and tell you exactly what’s happening each day before the crew shows up.

Figure Out What You Need

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

Handle the Build

We pull permits through McMinn County, order materials, and give you a clear schedule so you know when we’ll be there and when we’ll finish.

Hand Over a Finished Deck

The crew completes the installation, cleans everything up each afternoon, and walks you through the finished project when it’s done.

The People Doing the Work

You’re letting strangers onto your property, which requires trust. Our crew has 60+ years of combined experience, and they treat your home the same way they’d treat their own. They show up on time, introduce themselves, and ask permission before accessing parts of your yard or moving anything.

If we uncover something unexpected during construction, rotted joists or improperly set footings, you hear about it immediately. We explain what the issue is, why it matters, and what the correct fix involves. No surprise charges, no vague explanations after the work is finished.

The work area stays organized. Tools get stored at the end of each day. Materials are kept in one spot where they won’t interfere with your normal routine. When the crew leaves each afternoon, the site is clean and safe. You can still use your yard without navigating a construction zone. That’s standard procedure on every job.

Cleanup Happens Daily

Construction generates debris, but we contain it to the immediate work area. Materials stay stacked in one location. We protect existing landscaping before starting. Access paths stay clear so you can move in and out of your house normally.

Before the crew leaves each afternoon, scrap goes in the truck, tools get put away, and we sweep up sawdust and loose fasteners. You won’t find construction trash on your driveway or porch. If we track something where it doesn’t belong, we clean it immediately. Spills get handled right away.

When the deck is complete, we do a final cleanup of the entire site. You shouldn’t need to lift a finger before you start using the space. That’s the standard because we understand you’re trusting us with your home.

Projects Around Riceville

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

About Riceville, Tennessee

Riceville is a small town in McMinn County located between Athens and Niota along Highway 11. The area developed around agriculture and local manufacturing, and many families here have lived in the region for generations. Most residents own their homes on properties with enough land for gardens, outbuildings, and outdoor living spaces. Students attend McMinn County Schools, and the community maintains a rural character despite being close to larger towns. Building a deck in Riceville means accounting for humidity that settles in the valleys, seasonal temperature swings, and soil composition that shifts with rain 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.

Build What You've Been Picturing

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.
