Riverside deck builders with 31 local builds inside historic Riverside, Avondale, and Five Points. We understand the St. Johns River climate, Duval County permits, and how to match a deck to a 1910s bungalow. Brazilian Ipe hardwood ($20–30/sq ft) for 25-year durability, Western Red Cedar ($28–40/sq ft) for the classic wood look, or Trex Transcend composite ($28–42/sq ft) if you want low maintenance. Every deck includes stamped engineering, hurricane-rated hardware, and we stand behind our work. Free in-home consult and free estimate within 48 hours of your site visit — 4.9 stars on 70 Google reviews. Call (904) 944-9253.
You’ve probably already called a contractor who’d never set foot in a National Register district — who didn’t know the Duval counter, and would’ve bolted a generic deck onto your 1910s bungalow and called it done. That’s the wrong builder for this neighborhood. We’ve built 31 decks, porches, and patios inside Riverside, Avondale, and Five Points, so when you ask for a reference, it’s a house a few blocks away you can drive past this weekend. We know how the St. Johns bluff loam wants 24-inch footings, and how to make a back-of-house deck read like it always belonged. The proof is and we stand behind our work.
What you actually want is a deck that looks original from the street and holds up to Florida — and that’s the whole job here. As Riverside wood deck builders we run Brazilian Ipe when you want a 25-year hardwood that silvers gracefully, and Western Red Cedar for the softer, traditional look an Avondale cottage calls for. We key railing profiles, baluster spacing, and trim to your home’s existing porch lines, then hide the modern engineering — hurricane-rated metal connectors, hot-dip galvanized fasteners, continuous load-path framing — under a clean wood surface. Want a covered space instead? As your Riverside porch contractor we rebuild front porches to the original column spacing and railing detail, and we handle the Duval permit ourselves so you never visit the office. Family-owned, licensed and insured, 500+ builds behind us. 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.

A natural wood deck in Riverside runs $28 – $40 per square foot installed for Western Red Cedar and $20 – $30/sq ft for Brazilian Ipe hardwood — a typical 14×16 (224 sq ft) cedar deck lands between $6,272 and $8,960. Prefer low-maintenance? A Trex Transcend or MoistureShield composite deck runs $28 – $42/sq ft. Every number includes hot-dip galvanized framing hardware, hurricane-rated metal connectors, 24" concrete footings, stamped engineering, and the Duval County permit.
Look for the builder with real Riverside references and a proven local track record — not an out-of-town crew. Jacksonville Deck Builders (a Coastal Outdoor Construction brand) has 31 builds inside historic Riverside and Avondale, so we can point you to a finished deck a few streets over. Family-owned, licensed and insured, and we stand behind our work. Call (904) 944-9253 for a free in-home Riverside quote.
Riverside deck permits go through the Duval County Building Permits office at 214 N. Hogan St. in Jacksonville. With stamped structural engineering submitted alongside the application, turnaround is 3 – 5 business days. We prepare the package, submit it, and handle every correspondence directly — you never visit the office.
Riverside is inland of the beaches, so builds fall under the 130 mph inland Florida standard rather than the higher oceanfront zone. Every Riverside deck we deliver still includes hurricane-rated metal connectors at each junction, 24" concrete footings sized for uplift, and a continuous load path engineered to the local code. A permitted, stamped structure is what keeps the work covered under your Florida homeowner’s wind policy — another reason we never skip the engineering.
Yes — matching older Riverside homes is most of what we do. A historic Riverside deck works best in natural wood: Brazilian Ipe for a premium hardwood that lasts 25+ years, or Western Red Cedar for the classic bungalow look. We key railing profiles, baluster spacing, and trim to your home’s existing porch lines so the addition reads original from the street, with the modern ZMAX hardware and galvanized framing hidden underneath where Florida weather can’t reach it.
All three. As a Riverside porch contractor we rebuild front porches to match original column spacing and railing detail — a Five Points staple. Our wood deck crews handle Ipe and cedar builds across Avondale, and we install paver patios in travertine and Belgard for ground-level outdoor living where a raised deck isn’t the right call. Many Riverside projects combine a wood deck with a paver patio below, and we can also add a pressure-treated pergola to either. One contract, one estimate, one we stand behind our work.
