Get Your Premium Deck Repair In Knoxville TN With Riverview Decks
If you’re looking to quickly replace some decking boards, sure, a deck repair might be all you need. But sometimes, your deck needs more than just a quick fix.
When you realize you also need to replace some posts, upgrade the railings, and get new footings, the entire project is not worth it anymore. In that case, a completely new deck will be a much better long-term investment, and it’ll show.
This is why here at Riverview Decks we’re offering you an in-depth and thorough deck inspection to see what are the real problems with your structure. We’ll be honest about it, and, after all, it’s your decision if you’re looking to get a couple more years out of your deck or get a new one that’ll last a lifetime.

Knoxville TN Deck Owners Love Their New Repairs
Become one of the happy deck owners in Knoxville and share your story with your neighbors!

Maura Werthmann
Our former 2nd story deck may have been up to code in the past, but between age, weather and carpenter bees we needed to replace it.
Nate and his crew replaced the formerly code allowable 4×4 posts with 6×6 posts, joists were maybe double in number, the wooden pickets replaced by rods that almost become invisible when looking out into the backyard.
The flooring is Trex with a decorative edge that frames the floor as well as on the stair treads. We were surprised at how fast the Trex dries after torrential rain and how comfortable it is under a bare foot.
We aren’t novices at carpentry and woodworking, but we were impressed with the crew’s workmanship, precision of the cuts and their eye for detail; not to mention their almost non-stop work during hot, humid days.
Nate, the crew, and even the supply delivery people were very professional, personable, respectful and punctual – clearly a well-organized company. Thank you, Nate, and thank you to your carpenters!
Type Of Upgrades And Materials
The deck building industry changes with every year that goes by. New materials are coming up, but also new ways of doing things.
Pressure treated wood is no longer the most popular decking material, and wood posts no longer go directly in the ground like they used to.
Let’s see what are some repairs, replacements, and upgrades that our customers in Knoxville TN get for their new decks.
Deck Frame
The deck frame used to be grade #1 pressure treated wood until not very long ago. In most cases, it still is. It’s affordable and reliable, but it’s far from being the best.
Fortress Building Products introduced on the market their steel deck frames for residential spaces. These are metal frames that’ll always outlast wood frames, no matter the weather, their treatment, or the challenges it’ll go through.
Decking
When it comes to the deck’s surface, cedar, redwood, and pressure treated wood were the most common options we were seeing on decks. Cedar and redwood were a little more expensive, but they were looking great, and pressure treated wood was just incredibly affordable.
Times changed, and now, all these options are on the lower end of materials.
- If you're still looking for a wood deck, hardwoods, like teak, Ipe, mahogany, or tigerwood are much better investments that'll give your deck a more expensive vibe.
- If you're looking for a decking surface that needs little to no maintenance, we'd recommend you go with composite or PVC decking. Unlike wood decks, these require no stains, sealants, or paints.
At Riverview Decks we work with the top composite decking brands in the industry, like TimberTech, Trex, and Fiberon, and you’ll get these materials at competitive prices.
Railings
Your existing deck will probably have wood railings. These tend to rot and weaken the quickest because they’re always used and they’re the first victim of water damage.
Naturally, you’ll want the railings to be 100% safe. You’re always leaning on them and they’re supposed to grant you all the support you need. For that to happen, even after dozens of years, there’s only one option.
Westbury Aluminum Railings. These are strong and durable metal railings that are immune to rot and insect damage. These will serve you well as you age, and are undoubtedly more reliable than wood.
Lightings
Deck lightings are more of a new upgrade to decks. Older decks don’t have any lighting, either on stairs or on railings, which made walking on them at night a real problem.
Now, deck lighting is mandatory by law, and your deck construction won’t pass the final inspection if it has no lights. There are numerous options to choose from, but we’d recommend low-voltage lighting with a very long lifespan.
- Drink and table railing
- Drainage systems
- Pergolas
- Covered decks
- Pool decks
- Glass railing
- Gutter system
- Wrapped columns

This was one of our deck repair projects in East Tennessee where the rotten stair stringers needed a long over-due upgrade. These put the homeowners’ life at risk every time they climbed the stairs, so it was definitely time to take action.
This project included:
- Removing damaged and rotten stair strings
- Removing deck boards
- Cutting, staining, and installing new stringers
- Wrapping the tops with Protecto Wrap to prevent rot and decay
- Installing treads with stainless screws
We quoted this project at $850. It was inexpensive, and we got to see the homeowner extremely excited about improving the safety and aesthetics of his deck.
