We Know Austin Backyards
Austin homeowners know outdoor living isn't a luxury - it's how you actually use your house for nine months of the year. For 40+ years, we've built decks, covered patios, pergolas, and gazebos across every Austin neighborhood from Westlake to East Austin to South Congress. Our Austin builds are engineered for 100°+ summer surface temps, the occasional hard freeze, and the expansive clay soil that destroys poorly built outdoor structures.
"Austin is where we've done more work than any other city - thousands of projects since 1984. What we've learned: the soil varies more than people realize. Tarrytown, Clarksville, and Rosedale are often on limestone or rock; Circle C, Mueller, and the east side tend to be expansive clay. Same deck, different footings. We engineer each project to the lot, not a template."
- Peter Toomey, Founder
Why Deck Repair & Replacement Matter Here
A failing deck isn't a cosmetic problem, it's a safety problem. Most deck collapses trace back to two failure points: the ledger connection pulling away from the house, and rotted posts or footings giving way under load. Both hide from view until they let go, usually when the deck is full of people. In Central Texas, our expansive clay soil heaves footings seasonally and our brutal sun cooks fasteners and flashing. A deck that was built fine in 2005 may not be fine today. An inspection costs you a phone call; ignoring the wobble can cost a lot more.
A Straight Answer, Not a Sales Pitch
We tell you whether your deck is worth repairing before we quote anything. If replacement is the smarter spend, we say so and show you why - rot you can probe, connections you can see moving. No scare tactics, no invented urgency.
42 Years of Diagnostic Experience
Since 1984 we've built, repaired, and torn out thousands of Central Texas decks. We know exactly where decks fail here: ledger flashing, post bases, stair stringers, and footings in clay soil. We check the failure points other contractors walk right past.
Repairs Done to Current Code
Old decks were often built to codes that no longer exist - 2x2 railings, notched posts, nailed ledgers. When we repair, we bring the repaired sections up to today's standards, so your deck is genuinely safer, not just prettier.
Fixed Written Pricing
Repair work is where some contractors love to 'discover' problems mid-job. Not us. After we open things up and assess, your quote is your price, in writing. We've been estimating this work long enough to get it right the first time.
Austin-Specific Considerations
Expansive Clay Soil
The challenge: Much of Austin - especially east of MoPac and the southeast - sits on highly expansive clay that swells when wet and contracts in drought. Cheap footings fail within 3-5 years.
How we handle it: We assess each lot individually. On clay, we install deeper footings that reach below the active soil zone, plus proper drainage to keep water moving away from the structure. On limestone, we drill directly into rock for rigid support.
Full-Sun Texas Summers
The challenge: Surface temps on unshaded decks exceed 140°F in peak summer. Composite boards can scorch bare feet; wood can check and split.
How we handle it: We select materials engineered for Texas heat - specific composite lines that reflect more light, cedar and ipe that handle sun better than pine. We also design shade into the build with pergolas, covered roofs, or strategic orientation.
Austin Permit + Tree Ordinance
The challenge: Austin has one of the strictest permit processes and protected-tree ordinances in Texas. Unpermitted or poorly documented projects can delay home sales or trigger fines.
How we handle it: We've pulled thousands of Austin permits and know the tree preservation requirements inside out. We coordinate with arborists when needed and ensure every project is fully permitted and inspected.
HOA & Historic District Rules
The challenge: Neighborhoods like Tarrytown, Hyde Park, and parts of East Austin have active neighborhood associations with architectural standards or historic preservation rules.
How we handle it: We've submitted hundreds of designs to Austin HOAs and historic boards. We design for first-time approval and handle the submission paperwork.
