Deck builders - Hillsborough County
Riverview has grown quickly and much of its housing is new enough that the original builder deck, where there is one, is small and basic. The common job here is extending or replacing that, on lots where the ground was filled and graded relatively recently. Fill matters for footings: it has not always settled, and a deck on undersized footings in soft fill goes out of level within a couple of seasons.
Riverview has grown fast, and most of its housing is recent enough that the original builder deck - where there is one at all - is small and basic. The usual job is extending or replacing it. What makes Riverview distinctive is not the houses though, it is what they are standing on: a lot of this ground was filled and graded relatively recently.
Placed fill keeps settling after the house is finished. A deck built on footings sized for undisturbed soil will follow that settlement down and go out of level within a couple of seasons, and levelling a deck afterwards is far more expensive than sizing the footings properly at the start. So we dig and look rather than working to a standard depth.
The same reasoning applies to extending a builder deck: whether the existing frame and footings can carry an extension is worth establishing before you plan around it.
Extensions and replacements in composite, pressure-treated, screen rooms, docks, pergolas, repair, framing and stairs and railings, with composite the default given how little mature shade these lots have.
