Who builds decks in McKinney, and what sets the price?
We do, in cedar, pressure-treated pine and composite. Height off the ground, the decking, the stairs and the rail move the number far more than area does, so nobody can give you an honest figure from a size alone. We walk the site and price it in writing, and McKinney's own steps, the permit, the inspections and the setbacks, are part of that scope.
Permits, repairs and setbacks in McKinney
- McKinney's home repair page lists the repairs that need a permit, and any repair that reaches structural components is on it. Swapping out joists, beams or posts under a deck is that kind of work. City of McKinney, Home Repairs Permit Information
- When a repair is an emergency, McKinney lets the permit application follow on the next working business day. City of McKinney, Home Repairs Permit Information
- Anything physically attached to the house has to meet the house's own setbacks, and the city asks you to call for the exact figures on your lot. A deck bolted to the back wall is held to that line. City of McKinney Patios, Pergolas, Sheds and Accessory Structures Alteration, Residential Packet, effective October 1, 2025, Attached structures
- The city's packet says outright that McKinney does not enforce HOA rules or deed restrictions, and tells owners to check them before work starts. City of McKinney Patios, Pergolas, Sheds and Accessory Structures Alteration, Residential Packet, effective October 1, 2025, FAQ
- The same packet warns that a homeowner's policy may not pay for damage caused by work done without permits and inspections, and that many lenders will not finance a purchase without proof of a final inspection.

Read from the city’s own documents on the dates linked. Codes and fees change and city staff interpret them, so we confirm for your address before we pull the permit.
Inspection days and work hours
- Every inspection needs the permit and the approved plans on site. City of McKinney Residential Builder Packet
- A request entered correctly before 3:00 PM lands on the next business workday. The online portal will not cancel one, so a cancellation goes to the inspector or the permit desk by phone. City of McKinney Residential Builder Packet
- Failed or wasted trips are billed, $50 for the first and more after that, and a missing builder's packet at the site can bring the fee on its own. City of McKinney Residential Builder Packet
- Building work is allowed from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and only 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. City of McKinney Residential Builder Packet, Construction hours
- A general contractor opens a portal account and pays no registration fee. If the deck gets lights or a fan, the licensed electrician registers with the city and signs the project's Signature Verification Form before the permit can issue. City of McKinney, Contractor Registration

McKinney Questions
What people in McKinney ask us
What does a deck cost by the square foot in McKinney?
We do not price decks by area, because area is not what drives the number. A deck four feet up needs deeper footings, a bigger beam, guardrail and stairs that a deck at grade does not. Composite needs a tighter frame than cedar. We walk the yard, agree the scope and send one written price that holds unless the scope changes.
Do I need a permit to rebuild my deck in McKinney?
If the framing is being replaced, yes. McKinney lists repairs that reach structural components among the ones that need a permit. Replacing only the boards and rail on a sound frame is a question we put to the city before we start.
Can my deck attach to the house?
Yes, but then it has to meet the same setbacks as the house. We get the setback figures for your lot from the city before we draw the footprint.
Will McKinney enforce my HOA's deck rules?
No. The city says plainly that it does not enforce HOA rules or deed restrictions. Your HOA still can, so we get its approval in writing before the permit.
What hours will you be working?
Inside McKinney's construction hours: 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Most of our days run well inside that.
How long does a deck take in McKinney?
One to two weeks on site for most new decks once the permit issues and materials arrive. Footings go in first, then the frame, the boards, the rail and the stairs.
