The Work
Decks we have built.
Start Here
Height is the number, not area.
A deck at grade is a frame on piers with boards across it. Lift the same deck four feet and it needs deeper footings, a beam that carries further, guardrail to code, and stairs with a landing. The square footage did not change and the price did.
The second thing that moves it is what you walk on. Pressure-treated pine, cedar and composite are three different materials at three different costs, and the frame under a composite deck has to be built tighter because the boards telegraph every dip in the joists.
Tell us the height, the footprint and the decking material and we can talk about a real number at the walk.

A free site walk, then a written scope and one price within five business days.
In every job
- Footings sized and dug for the loads the deck actually carries
- Framing hardware rated for exterior use, not interior joist hangers
- Guardrail and stair geometry built to the code the inspector will measure
- Fasteners appropriate to the decking: hidden clips on composite, coated screws on wood
- Haul-off of the deck that is coming out
- One-year workmanship warranty
How we quote it
We do not publish prices or ranges. Every job is measured and built for your house, so a number off a website would be a guess.
A site walk, then a written scope back within five business days. The scope names the work, the materials and the price, and the price does not move unless the scope does.
Anything found behind a wall or under a slab that changes the work gets priced and approved before we touch it. That is a change of work, in writing, not a surprise on the final invoice.
Payment is by ACH, card, check or cash, on the schedule written into the contract.
What Moves the Number
Up and down, before you ask for a quote.
Pushes price up
- Height off grade, which brings footings, beam spans, guardrail and stairs
- Composite decking, and the tighter framing it needs to look right
- Stairs, especially a run that needs a landing to turn
- Built-in benches, planters, skirting or a privacy screen
- Poor access, where every board is carried through a side gate
- Rot or a failing ledger found once the old deck is off
Keeps price down
- Building at or near grade, where footings are shallow and no guardrail is required
- Pressure-treated pine or cedar rather than composite
- A simple rectangle instead of angles, wraps or multiple levels
- Restoring a sound frame rather than replacing the whole structure
- Keeping the existing footprint, which avoids a new permit in some jurisdictions
Common Questions
Decks questions, answered
What does a deck cost?
We price decks in writing after the walk, because height changes the number more than size does and neither is knowable from a phone call. Tell us the height, the footprint and the decking material and you will have a written number within five business days.
Can my old deck be saved?
Often. The frame is what matters: if the posts, beams and joists are sound and the ledger is properly flashed to the house, replacing the decking and rail on top of it costs a fraction of a rebuild. What kills a deck is water at the ledger and rot at the post bases, and both are visible once we pull a board or two. We check before quoting a replacement.
Cedar or composite?
Cedar is cheaper up front, looks better the day it is finished, and needs cleaning and re-coating every few years to stay that way. Composite costs more, never needs staining, and gets hot in full Texas sun. If the deck is shaded and you enjoy maintaining it, cedar. If it faces west and you want to forget about it, composite, and budget for the better frame it needs.
Do I need a permit for a deck?
Usually yes once it is attached to the house or raised above a certain height, and the threshold varies by city. Attachment is the part inspectors care about most, because a ledger fastened wrong is how decks come off houses. We tell you which side your scope lands on at the walk rather than after the footings are in.
How long does a deck take?
Most residential decks are one to two weeks on site once materials are in, plus permit review where it applies. Demo and footings come first, the concrete cures, then framing, decking, rail and stairs. A restoration on a sound frame is faster, often several days.
Do you stain and restore decks as well as build them?
Yes, and it is worth doing before a deck needs replacing rather than after. Restoration is cleaning, sanding back the grey, replacing the boards that are past saving, resetting popped fasteners and re-coating the whole thing. A deck that gets this every few years lasts a great deal longer than one that does not.

Rules where you live
Height limits, setbacks, permit triggers and fees change at every city line, and so does the ground. Each page below is one city or county: its rules read from its own code, and what its soil does to a post or a pier.
