Liberty Hill represents the best of Hill Country living, where spacious lots and stunning views call for exceptional outdoor spaces. Our deck, patio, pergola, and gazebo projects here often feature expansive designs that take advantage of the extra room available. Whether you're building on acreage or in one of the newer master-planned communities like Santa Rita Ranch, we bring the same quality craftsmanship that has made us Central Texas's trusted outdoor living experts for 40 years.
"We live here. Our shop is here. Bigger lots out this way, so we can do things you can't fit in a typical Austin backyard. Santa Rita Ranch, Stagecoach, all through here - we've built in most of the neighborhoods. If you've got the space, we'll help you use it right."
- 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.
The challenge: Many Liberty Hill properties have significant slopes and limestone outcroppings.
How we handle it: We specialize in multi-level deck designs that work with the terrain. Our rock-drilling equipment handles limestone, and we engineer proper footings regardless of soil conditions.
The challenge: Liberty Hill homeowners often want larger outdoor spaces that match their lot sizes.
How we handle it: We have the experience and crew size to handle large-scale projects. We can build expansive decks, outdoor kitchens, and multi-structure designs that other contractors shy away from.
The challenge: Newer communities like Santa Rita Ranch have detailed architectural requirements.
How we handle it: We work with Santa Rita Ranch, Stonewall Ranch, and other Liberty Hill HOAs regularly. We know their requirements and submit designs that get approved.
