All Seasons Decks repairs decks across Georgetown, including Sun City, Berry Creek, Serenada and the older homes near downtown. Many Georgetown decks are now old enough that railings and stairs, not boards, are the first thing to fail, and for homeowners who want to stay safe outside those repairs come first. We inspect the whole deck and give a fixed written price for the fix.
Stairs and Railings Come First
Railings take sideways load every time someone leans or grabs them, and after 15 or 20 years their post connections loosen. Stairs take the most foot traffic and the most water. Stringers rot where they sit on the ground, and treads split. For anyone who relies on a handrail, a loose one is the most urgent repair on the deck.
Current code calls for guards at least 36 inches high on residential decks 30 inches or more above grade, with openings small enough that a 4 inch sphere cannot pass. Many older decks were built with lower rails or wider gaps. Railing replacement runs $35 to $70 per linear foot installed, so a 40 ft run is $1,400 to $2,800.
Resurfacing a Sound Frame
A lot of Georgetown decks have faded, splintering pine boards on framing that is still solid. For those, resurfacing is the best value. Resurfacing a 300 sq ft deck and adding new railings runs $8,000 to $15,000, which gives you a low-maintenance composite surface without paying to rebuild framing that has years left in it.
In Sun City, even a resurface can change the deck's appearance, so we check with the Modifications Committee on what it needs to review before we order materials.
Clay Settlement on the East Side
Decks on the east side of Georgetown sit on Blackland Prairie clay. When footings were set too shallow, the deck rides the clay up and down, and over time posts lean, beams twist and the deck develops a dip. The fix is new footings set deeper, with posts reset on them. That is structural work, typically $3,000 to $8,000 for one section.
Permits for Georgetown Repairs
The City of Georgetown permits decks through MGO Connect under the 2021 IRC. Board replacement alone generally does not need one. Structural work like new footings, a new ledger or replacement joists generally does, and a deck permit review runs 15 to 20 business days. We tell you which applies and handle it.
When the inspection turns up both a railing problem and a footing problem, we fix the footing first. New rails bolted to posts that are still moving will loosen again. Doing the structural work first, then the railings, means the permit covers the whole repair and the new railing stays tight for years instead of months.
Sun City homeowners should also confirm whether the Modifications Committee needs to see the work before it starts, and we handle that check.
We Know Georgetown Backyards
Georgetown splits in two below the grass. West of I-35 you often hit limestone a few inches down. East of the interstate, Blackland Prairie clay runs deep. That one fact shapes every deck, patio cover and pergola we build here, along with Sun City's own review step and the historic overlay districts around the Square. We build decks, covered patios, pergolas, gazebos and screened porches across Georgetown from our shop in Liberty Hill.
Permits, HOAs, soil and local building tips for Georgetown
"The first thing I want to know in Georgetown is which side of I-35 you're on. West side, we're usually drilling footings into rock. East side, we're digging through clay that moves every time it rains after a dry spell. A lot of folks here are also done with staining, so composite comes up in almost every conversation."

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.
