Define Property Lines and Add Outdoor Living Space
Fence and deck installation services for homeowners in Little Rock.
A fence gives you privacy from neighbors, keeps pets and children in the yard, and marks your property line clearly. A deck adds usable outdoor space where you can set up furniture, a grill, or a seating area that does not sit directly on the ground. In Little Rock, both need to handle summer heat, high humidity, and the kind of storms that split untreated wood and rust cheap fasteners. River Valley Roofing builds and repairs fences and decks using materials that hold up in Arkansas weather.
We install wood, vinyl, and composite fencing in styles that include privacy panels, picket designs, and split rail layouts. Deck projects range from ground-level platforms to elevated structures with stairs and railings. If you are already working on roofing or exterior renovations, we can coordinate fence and deck work so the job site stays organized and materials arrive on schedule.

How fences and decks are built to last
Fence installation in Little Rock starts with marking the property line, digging post holes to the correct depth, and setting posts in concrete or gravel depending on soil conditions. We attach rails and panels with galvanized or stainless hardware that will not rust out in two years. For decks, we lay out the frame, install ledger boards that anchor to the house, and build the substructure with joists spaced to code before adding decking boards.
After the work is done, you will have a fence that stands plumb and does not lean after the first heavy rain, and a deck surface that does not bounce or feel soft underfoot. Gates will swing smoothly and latch without scraping, and deck railings will be solid when you lean on them.
We use pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, and corrosion-resistant fasteners selected for outdoor exposure in this climate. Projects are scheduled with clear start and finish dates, and we keep the site clean as we work.
Common questions before starting a project
Homeowners in Little Rock often ask how long the materials last, whether permits are required, and what kind of maintenance fences and decks need after installation.
What type of wood holds up best for fences and decks?
Pressure-treated pine is the most common choice for framing and posts because it resists rot and insect damage. For decking surfaces, composite materials last longer and require less maintenance than wood.
How deep do fence posts need to be set?
Fence posts in Little Rock are typically set two to three feet deep depending on soil type and fence height. We use concrete for corner and gate posts to prevent shifting.
Do I need a permit to build a fence or deck?
Most cities in Arkansas require permits for decks over a certain height and for fences near property lines or easements. River Valley Roofing handles permit applications as part of the project.
How long does it take to install a fence or build a deck?
A standard privacy fence around a backyard usually takes two to three days, and a deck installation ranges from three days to a week depending on size and complexity. We provide a timeline before work begins.
What maintenance do fences and decks need?
Wood fences and decks should be cleaned and resealed every two to three years to prevent rot and fading. Composite decking only needs occasional washing, and vinyl fences require almost no upkeep.
