Mishawaka, IN – River Valley Construction Group is honored to be recognized as the 2021 Deck Specialist of the Year by Deck Specialist Magazine. This prestigious award highlights the company’s outstanding craftsmanship, innovation, and dedication to excellence in the deck-building industry.
Founded in 2017 by DJ Tavernier, River Valley Construction Group has quickly grown into one of the region’s top deck builders, specializing in composite decking installations with a focus on Armadillo composite decking products. Through meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to customer satisfaction, the company has become a leader in high-quality outdoor living spaces.
“We are beyond grateful to receive this recognition from Deck Specialist Magazine,” said DJ Tavernier, Owner of River Valley Construction Group. “Our team has worked tirelessly to perfect our craft, ensuring every deck we build is not only beautiful but also durable and functional. This award is a testament to the hard work, passion, and dedication of our entire crew.”
The Deck Specialist of the Year Award is given to industry-leading builders who demonstrate exceptional craftsmanship, brand growth, and a commitment to high standards in deck construction. Over the past two and a half years, River Valley Construction Group has seen tremendous growth, going from a few projects to building 80+ decks annually, making them one of the top decking contractors in the area.
A key driver of their success has been their expertise in composite decking, with nearly 95% of their projects utilizing Armadillo decking. Tavernier credits this success to a strong relationship with Avon Plastics, a company known for its high-quality, sustainable decking materials.
