Serving River Falls and St. Croix County
River Falls is one of the larger cities in St. Croix County, home to the University of Wisconsin River Falls and anchored by the Kinnickinnic River running straight through downtown. The city draws a mix of longtime families, university-connected residents, and newer transplants from the Twin Cities corridor, with neighborhoods ranging from historic homes near downtown and the river to newer construction subdivisions on the edges of the city.
River Falls homeowners deal with the same St. Croix County winter demands as every market Shane serves, freeze-thaw cycling, heavy snow loads, and moisture that works into every small gap in an exterior over time. Shane Ward is based in Hammond, about 15 minutes away, and covers River Falls as one of his core service areas. Call 715-808-5260.

River Falls Exterior FAQ
How much does a real deck actually cost in River Falls?
Depends on size, materials, elevation, and how complex the design gets. A basic pressure-treated deck usually starts around $8,000 to $12,000. Go bigger with composite decking, railings, and stairs and you're at $20,000 or more. Shane gives you a free on-site estimate and quotes the real number up front. What he quotes is what you pay.
Do you actually make it out to River Falls quickly, or does everyone in Hammond get priority?
River Falls gets the same priority as everywhere else Shane works. He's based just 15 minutes away in Hammond and covers River Falls as one of his core, regular service areas. Call 715-808-5260 to confirm timing on your project.
My deck's near the Kinnickinnic, does that change what materials actually hold up?
Yes. Riverfront and near-river properties deal with more moisture exposure than inland lots, and that speeds up wear on wood decking, siding seams, and fascia. Composite decking, fiber cement siding, and aluminum fascia all hold up better under that kind of sustained moisture than their traditional counterparts.
Do I have to deal with permits myself for a deck project?
No. Shane handles all required permitting as part of every deck build in River Falls and throughout St. Croix County. He knows the local requirements and takes the whole process off your plate.
My windows are drafty and my heating bill keeps climbing, is that just an older home thing?
Usually, yes, but it's fixable. Failing window seals and worn frames let heat bleed out all winter, and Shane sees it constantly on older River Falls homes near downtown and around the university. Shane identifies the real scope during the free on-site assessment and puts everything in a written estimate before anything starts.
Is River Falls going to cost more since it's not exactly Shane's home address?
No. Shane uses the same pricing approach in every market he serves. He comes out, assesses the full scope of work, and gives you a detailed written estimate before anything starts. What he quotes is what you pay, no travel surcharges for River Falls projects.
What actually happens when I ask for an estimate?
Call or text Shane at 715-808-5260, or use the form on this site. He schedules a time to walk the project with you, looks at the real scope of work, and hands you a detailed written estimate, no charge. No pressure, no sales pitch, just a straight answer.
Is financing actually available, or is that just marketing?
It's real. Wisetack financing is available for qualifying projects. Ask Shane about your options when he comes out for your free estimate at 715-808-5260.
My River Falls home is down in the Kinnickinnic valley, do ice dams form worse down there?
They can. Homes down in the Kinnickinnic River valley in River Falls deal with trapped cold air and humidity that lingers longer than on higher ground, and that combination feeds ice dam formation at the eaves. Proper soffit venting and aluminum fascia are what stop the damage. Shane checks the whole roof edge for ventilation gaps during valley-bottom estimates.
