You want Avondale deck builders who’ve actually worked these blocks — not an out-of-town crew Googling the historic district on the drive over. We’ve built 25 decks and porches right here: St. Johns Avenue, Talbot Avenue, the brick streets off Boone Park, the bungalow blocks by The Shoppes of Avondale. We know the Duval permit desk and how a Riverside Avondale Preservation review actually clears. Ask for nearby references — we have them on your street. .

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, bolts on a deck that fights the house, and then stalls when the preservation review comes back. 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, we know the Duval permit desk by name, and we draw the Riverside Avondale Preservation submission to clear on the first pass. 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 a 10-year workmanship warranty on every job. Book a free in-home consult and you’ll have a 3D render of your build (credited to your project) and a fixed-price quote in 7 days — no pressure, no moving numbers.

You don’t handle any of it — 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. Since most of the neighborhood sits in the Riverside Avondale Historic District, a visible front or side porch may also need a Certificate of Appropriateness review — we draw it to pass and submit everything in parallel, so you never set foot in either office.
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 and design the drawings to clear Riverside Avondale Preservation review on the first pass.
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 10-year workmanship warranty across all of it. Ask about our patios, porches, and pergola builders work at your free consult.
