"Nathan, owner of River Bend contracting built a floating deck for me next to my camper at Meridian Bridge RV Resort. I had some specific ideas on the design, which included separate steps and fenced area for my dog. After working with other contractors in the past, communication has become a top priority! Nathan was fantastic! I completely understand construction time lines are estimates and I even contributed to that estimated completion date by adding extras during my deck construction. Every day, Nathan let me know his schedule for the following day. When I left to stay at my permanent home for a couple of days, he sent pictures everyday to show me the progress. I was never left wondering if someone was going to be there working on my deck. The finished deck is outstanding! Nathan is a skilled contractor who completes your project with the same amount of mastery, pride and perfectionism as if he was building it for himself. I highly recommend River Bend Construction for your next home project. If you would like to see their fantastic work, drive by site 615 at Meridian Bridge RV Resort to admire the workmanship exhibited on my new deck!"

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Building a deck without a permit could lead to fines for both the homeowner and the contractor. The exact penalties will depend on your state and municipal building laws. You might also be required to remove the deck and apply for a permit before you can build another. While it might be tempting to skip the permit to save a few bucks, it’ll cost you much more if you’re caught.

Yes, but ensuring the deck has a solid foundation with adequate footings is critical before building, as the weight of a sunroom will put significant pressure on the structure below. Even if your deck is properly constructed, it may not be able to handle the extra weight. While some basic, lightweight, prefabricated sunrooms can sit on a deck with a strong existing foundation without additional supports, in many cases, the foundation and joists will need reinforcement. It is always best to have a structural engineer perform an inspection to evaluate the deck's quality and structural integrity. A professional can help you decide if reinforcement is sufficient or if it's better to tear down the deck and start over.

In many areas, a floating deck that isn’t connected to your home and stays under 200 square feet and below 30 inches in height may not need a permit. These freestanding structures are often considered low-risk, which can simplify the building process. However, building codes vary greatly based on location. Before investing in any home improvement project, check with your local permitting office for deck-building guidelines.

Cold temperatures can make your deck boards contract. If they don’t contract evenly, they can put pressure on the deck screws and cause them to pop out, making a noticeable sound. Winterizing your deck can help prevent this from happening.

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.
