All Seasons Decks repairs and replaces decks across Cedar Park, and many of our calls come from established neighborhoods like Anderson Mill, Buttercup Creek and Cypress Canyon. Pressure-treated pine lasts about 15 to 20 years, so a lot of original decks in these areas are at or past the end of that range. The key question is whether the frame still has life in it, because that decides whether you repair or rebuild.
Cedar Park Decks at the End of Their Life
Pine boards can be replaced one at a time, but pine joists age too. On an older Cedar Park deck we probe the tops of the joists, where water sits under each board, and the bottoms of the posts. If a screwdriver sinks into either, the frame is near the end and new boards would be wasted.
When the frame is sound, a resurface with new railings on a 300 sq ft deck runs $8,000 to $15,000. When it is not, a rebuild on the same footprint runs $40 to $60 per sq ft. On a 300 sq ft deck that is 300 times $40 to $60, or $12,000 to $18,000.
Tall Decks on Sloped Lots
West Cedar Park lots often slope down behind the house, so decks sit high on the downhill side. Tall posts need bracing, and many older decks had none or had it only nailed in. A deck that sways when people walk across it needs new bracing and bolted post-to-beam connections. That kind of work usually runs $2,000 to $8,000 depending on how many posts are involved.
High decks also have the most to lose from a bad railing. Older guards are often too short or too widely spaced for current code.
When Cedar Park Requires a Permit
The City of Cedar Park requires a permit for decks 30 inches or more above grade, over 200 sq ft, attached to the house, or serving an exit door. Most repair calls involve a deck that meets at least one of those, so structural work on it will generally need a permit through MGO Connect. Board replacement alone generally does not. We are registered with the city and handle it.
What an Inspection Covers
We start at the house: the ledger, its fasteners and the flashing above it. Then we go under the deck and probe joists, beams and posts, check every footing for movement, and test each railing post by pushing on it. Stairs get their own look, since stringers rot where they meet the ground.
You see everything we see, often with photos of the underside you have never looked at. Then you get a fixed written quote for the repair and, where it is close, a second number for a rebuild, so the decision is yours with real prices in hand.
The inspection is free and usually takes about an hour. If the deck feels unsafe, stay off it until we have looked.
We Know Cedar Park Backyards
Much of Cedar Park was built in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s over Hill Country limestone, so a lot of the backyard work here starts with an aging builder slab or a tired pine deck. Most homes sit in an HOA, and the city has clear thresholds for when a deck needs a permit. We build and rebuild decks, patio covers, pergolas, gazebos and screened porches across Cedar Park and handle both approvals for you.
Permits, HOAs, soil and local building tips for Cedar Park
"In an older Cedar Park neighborhood, the first question is what's already back there. Plenty of these houses came with a small slab or a builder deck that's past its prime. Sometimes we can keep the slab and put a roof over it. Sometimes the old deck has to go. With kids and dogs on it every day, I lean toward capped composite that won't splinter."

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.
