Lakeway offers stunning Lake Travis views and a resort-style lifestyle that demands exceptional outdoor living spaces. Our custom decks, patios, and gazebos in Lakeway are designed to maximize those breathtaking Hill Country views while providing comfortable spaces for entertaining. From waterfront properties to hillside homes, we build outdoor structures that complement Lakeway's natural beauty and enhance your enjoyment of this special community.
"First thing I look at in Lakeway is the view. Which way does the lake face, where's the sunset. You want the deck oriented to take advantage of that. Hillside builds are trickier - more engineering, more pier work - but the end result is worth it. We've done a lot of them out here."
- Mark Toomey
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
