Avondale deck builders for historic homes. Jacksonville Deck Builders has built 25 decks and porches right here — St. Johns Avenue, Talbot Avenue, Boone Park, and The Shoppes of Avondale. We know the Duval County permit desk. We spec Brazilian Ipe and Western Red Cedar for period-correct wood decks, or Trex Transcend for low-maintenance composite that passes the eye test from the sidewalk. Family-owned, licensed & insured, 500+ builds across Northeast Florida, 4.9 stars on 70 Google reviews. Free estimate within 48 hours of your site visit. Call (904) 944-9253.
Here’s the worry every Avondale homeowner has before they hire: a contractor who’s never set foot in the Riverside Avondale Historic District shows up and bolts on a deck that fights the house. You don’t want a crew learning your neighborhood on your dime. You want Avondale deck builders who already know that the 1920s and 1930s bungalows, Tudors, and Mediterranean Revival homes along St. Johns and Talbot Avenue need the right baluster spacing, the right post profile, and a period-correct railing — or the new deck reads as bolted-on from the sidewalk. We’ve done that work on 25 Avondale builds, and we know the Duval permit desk by name. Ask us for the address two streets over — we’ll give it to you.
When the design is right, the material is your call, and we’ll tell you straight which one fits your house. Brazilian Ipe for a dense hardwood deck that outlives the mortgage. Western Red Cedar for the warm, classic tone a bungalow porch wants. Or Trex Transcend or AZEK PVC in a weathered-wood color when you want the historic look and never want to sand or seal again — it passes the eye test from the sidewalk. As Avondale porch builders we also rebuild rotted front and side porches and tie them into new paver patios off the back. We’re family-owned, licensed & insured, with 500+ builds behind us, and we stand behind our work. Book a free in-home consult and you’ll have a detailed design plan of your build (credited to your project) and a free estimate within 48 hours of your site visit — no pressure, no moving numbers.

You don’t handle the permit — we do, because we’ve walked this exact path 25 times. Avondale deck permits go through the Duval County Building Permits office at 214 N. Hogan St. downtown, and with stamped structural engineering on the application turnaround is 3 – 5 business days.
Avondale falls under the 130 mph inland Florida standard wind zone — the same code that applies across most of inland Duval County, west of the beaches. Every historic Avondale deck we build includes hurricane-rated metal connectors at every connection, 24" concrete footings to bearing, and a continuous load path engineered to that 130 mph standard. Permitted, stamped structures are covered under your Florida homeowner’s wind policy.
Yes — that’s most of what we do here. As Avondale wood deck builders we spec Brazilian Ipe and Western Red Cedar with period-correct post profiles, baluster spacing, and railing details so a new deck or porch reads as original to the home. As Avondale porch builders we also rebuild rotted front and side porches.
We do. Beyond decks, our crews handle paver patios and travertine and Belgard hardscape off the back of the house, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens. A lot of Avondale projects combine a wood deck, a wraparound porch, and a paver patio into one outdoor space — and you get the same quality install and we stand behind our work across all of it. Ask about our patios, porches, and pergola builders work at your free consult.
