Decks We Build

Pressure-Treated Wood Decks

The classic and most affordable — sturdy, familiar, takes stain beautifully. With proper maintenance, decades of service.

• Most budget-friendly option
• Takes stain in any color
• Strong, proven framing

Cedar Decks

Natural warmth and beauty — richer look than treated lumber, naturally resistant, ages to a beautiful gray if left unstained.

• Premium natural look
• Naturally resistant to insects and rot
• Beautiful stained or weathered

Composite & PVC Decks

The low-maintenance choice — no staining, no splinters, no rot. Costs more upfront, pays back in weekends you don’t spend maintaining it.

• Virtually maintenance-free
• No splinters, no staining
• 25+ year warranties

Multi-Level & Built-In Features

Built-in benches, planters, pergola tie-ins, lighting, under-deck storage — a deck designed as outdoor living space, not just a platform.

• Built-in seating and planters
• Integrated lighting
• Pergola and stair combinations

Wood vs. Composite — An Honest Comparison

• Wood (treated or cedar): lower upfront cost, classic look, needs re-staining every 2–3 years in Texas sun. Beautiful and budget-friendly if you don’t mind maintenance.
• Composite/PVC: higher upfront cost, virtually no maintenance, no splinters, 25+ year warranty. Pays back if you’d rather enjoy weekends than stain decks.

Neither is “better” — it depends on your budget and how you feel about maintenance. We’ll price both at your consultation.

Built for North Texas

DFW decks face triple-digit heat, UV that eats finishes, sudden storms, and expansive clay soil that shifts footings. We build for all of it: footings set deep for clay, framing that meets or exceeds code, corrosion-resistant fasteners, and materials chosen for how they age in Texas. Your deck should be solid in year 10, not just pretty on day one.

Permits & HOA

Most DFW cities require permits for decks — and most HOAs want architectural review before you build. We handle the drawings, the submittals, and the inspections. Routine for us, a headache you don’t need.
