All Seasons Decks has repaired decks in Leander since Peter Toomey started the company here in 1984. Most Leander homes are in subdivisions built over the last 20 years, and many of their decks were built quickly alongside the houses. The problems we find are rarely old age. They are shortcuts: missing ledger flashing, missing hangers, and footings that never reached rock.
Builder-Era Shortcuts We Find Under Leander Decks
When a subdivision is going up fast, deck details get skipped. The ones we see most in Leander: a ledger fastened against siding with no flashing, so water runs behind it; joists toe-nailed instead of hung in metal hangers; and posts set on a shallow block instead of a real footing.
None of these is visible from the deck surface. They show up as a bounce, a gap near the house, or a soft spot where water has been getting in. Fixing a ledger and adding hangers to one section typically runs $3,000 to $8,000.
Footings That Never Reached Rock
Much of Leander has limestone close to the surface, often under a layer of fill brought in during grading. A footing that stopped in the fill can settle even though solid rock sat a few inches lower. We dig out settled footings, drill into the rock, and reset the posts. On lots that are mostly clay, we go deeper instead.
Leander Permits for Repairs
Inside city limits, the City of Leander permits decks through its Development Hub under the 2021 IRC. Structural repairs to the ledger, joists, posts or footings generally need a permit. Board replacement alone generally does not. Homes in the ETJ fall under unincorporated Williamson County, which issues no residential building permit.
Repair Costs on a Newer Leander Deck
Because the problems are specific rather than widespread, newer Leander decks are usually good repair candidates. Board and railing fixes run $1,500 to $3,500. If the builder used pine boards that are now splitting in full sun, resurfacing a 300 sq ft deck with composite and new railings runs $8,000 to $15,000 and keeps the framing you already paid for.
Fixing a builder-era problem also brings the repaired sections up to current code. That matters when you sell, because buyers' inspectors check ledgers and joist hangers on decks of this age. A permitted, inspected repair answers those questions in writing.
Railings on these decks are often the right height but loose at the posts, because the posts were notched and held with a few screws. Replacing a run with properly attached posts costs $35 to $70 per linear foot installed, or $1,400 to $2,800 for 40 ft. On most newer Leander decks, that is the only railing work needed.
Every repair carries our 1-year workmanship warranty in writing, plus the manufacturer warranty on any new boards or railing.
We Know Leander Backyards
All Seasons started in Leander in 1984, when Peter Toomey founded the company here. Since then Leander has grown from a small town into a city of master-planned communities, most of them on rocky Hill Country ground and most with an HOA. We build decks, patio covers, pergolas, gazebos, screened porches and outdoor kitchens across Leander, and we handle the city permit and the HOA submission.
Permits, HOAs, soil and local building tips for Leander
"Dad started this company in Leander in 1984, and our shop is just up the road in Liberty Hill now. Most Leander homes are newer, so the question is usually how to attach to the house the right way. That means a flashed ledger bolted to the rim, not nailed to siding. Get that wrong and you've got water in the wall."
- Mark Toomey
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.
