How much does a deck actually run in the River Falls or Hudson area?

Depends on size, materials, elevation, and how complex the design is. A basic pressure-treated deck usually starts around $8,000 to $12,000. Go bigger with composite decking, railings, and stairs and you're looking at $20,000 or more. Shane gives you the real number up front, and what he quotes is what you pay.

Does Shane actually pull permits, or is that on me?

Requirements change by municipality across St. Croix, Polk, Pierce, and Dunn counties, and Shane knows the local rules across River Falls, Hudson, Prescott, Ellsworth, Baldwin, and Osceola. He confirms what's needed for your specific job. Call 715-808-5260 if you want specifics before you commit to anything.

Will a siding crew tie up my property for weeks?

No. Most residential jobs in the River Falls and Hudson area take two to five days depending on home size and material. Shane keeps you posted the whole way, no subcontractors, no surprises showing up.

Am I hiring Shane, or some crew I've never met?

Shane. Every time. From your first call to the final walkthrough, you're working with Shane Ward and his regular crew, not a stranger handed your project. He answers his own phone at 715-808-5260.

Does Ward Exterior Works actually come out to my town?

Shane covers River Falls, Hudson, Prescott, Ellsworth, Baldwin, Osceola, New Richmond, Menomonie, and the surrounding communities across St. Croix, Polk, Pierce, and Dunn counties. Not sure if you're in range? Call and ask, it's a two-minute conversation.

What actually happens when I request an estimate?

Call or text 715-808-5260, or fill out the form on this site. Shane walks the project with you, looks at the actual scope of work, and hands you a real written number, no charge. No pressure, no sales pitch.

What's a realistic siding budget for western Wisconsin?

Depends on square footage, material, and the shape your current exterior is in. Small addition projects run a few thousand dollars, a full re-side with premium materials costs a lot more. Shane walks the property and gives you the real number before anything starts.

Vinyl or fiber cement, which actually holds up here?

Vinyl costs less and needs almost no upkeep, but it can crack in a hard Wisconsin cold snap. Fiber cement costs more up front but handles freeze-thaw winters, moisture, and pests noticeably better over time. Shane walks you through what makes sense for your house and budget.

My deck is showing damage, repair or full replacement?

Soft or rotting posts, real structural sag, or boards cracking across most of the surface usually mean replacement. Damage limited to a few boards or the railing is often just a repair. Shane inspects it during your free estimate and tells you straight, no upselling.

Why hire Ward Exterior Works over another River Falls contractor?

Shane grew up in Hammond and has spent over 10 years building and fixing homes across western Wisconsin. Call and you talk to Shane, not a call center. He runs every job himself, pulls his own permits, and doesn't hand your project to a subcontractor. River Falls and Hudson homeowners keep calling him back because he shows up when he says he will and does it right the first time.
