Our estimate provides a rough breakdown and gives you a general idea of the total cost involved in your deck project.

1. On-Site or Virtual Consultation

We assess your space, listen to your goals, and determine any constraints (like slope, access, or HOA guidelines).

2. Design Options & Custom Features

When planning your deck, deck design and functional deck design are key considerations to ensure your outdoor space is both practical and visually appealing. We discuss size, layout, levels, stairs, railing types, built-ins, and whether you’re interested in special features like pergolas, seating, or outdoor kitchens. We also explore additional features such as hot tubs or custom lighting, which can enhance both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your deck.

Staying up-to-date with the latest design trends ensures your deck is both stylish and functional, perfectly complementing your home and lifestyle.

3. Material Recommendations

We present a range of decking material options, including wood decks, cedar wood, cedar decks, and composite decks, as well as pressure-treated lumber, premium stains, and accessories, all tailored to your budget and preferences. Choosing the right material type and decking materials can significantly impact the overall cost, durability, maintenance needs, and appearance of your project.

Composite decking and composite decking materials are popular for their low maintenance, durability, and eco-friendly properties. These options require less maintenance and ongoing maintenance compared to traditional wood decks, which need regular maintenance such as staining and sealing. Composite options are ideal for homeowners seeking a hassle-free, long-lasting solution.

When comparing decking material options, it’s important to consider the natural beauty of wood decks and cedar decks, which offer timeless appeal and warmth. Cedar wood is lightweight, durable, and requires minimal maintenance, making cedar decks a great choice for various design needs.

We recommend using high quality materials and quality materials to ensure your deck stands the test of time. Sustainable materials are also available, with some brands focusing on reducing material waste through recycling and eco-conscious manufacturing processes.

Keep in mind that larger decks require more materials, which can increase the overall project cost. Ultimately, the material you choose plays a crucial role in the deck’s durability, maintenance requirements, and aesthetic appeal.

What Factors Affect the Price of a Deck in Austin?

Every deck is unique, and understanding the deck building process is essential to planning your project. The cost of building a deck depends on several factors, and here are the most significant cost drivers:

Whether it’s a new build, deck repair/refinish, or upgrading an existing deck as part of your deck projects

We account for all of these factors when preparing your estimate so you won’t be hit with unexpected charges halfway through your project. Whether you are building a deck from scratch or enhancing an existing deck, working with professionals who build decks ensures your deck projects are completed successfully.
