All Seasons Decks repairs decks around Liberty Hill from our shop on County Road 258. Decks here take full sun with little shade, sit close to brush and cedar where termites live, and often stand on posts set into rock. The most common repairs we see are sun-damaged surfaces, insect damage and rot at the base of posts, and we fix them at a fixed written price.
Sun Damage on Unshaded Decks
Many Liberty Hill homes sit on open lots, so the deck gets sun from morning to evening. Pine and cedar boards check, split and splinter when they go too long without sealer, and fasteners work loose as boards dry and shrink. If the frame is sound, board and surface replacement runs $1,500 to $6,000 depending on how much of the deck needs new boards.
When a whole surface is shot, we often recommend switching to composite, which does not split in UV. On a 300 sq ft deck, resurfacing with new railings runs $8,000 to $15,000.
Termites and Rot at the Posts
Termites are active across Central Texas and are common on rural and wooded lots. They go for wood near soil: post bases, stair stringers and skirting. We probe every post base and stringer, look for mud tubes, and recommend a pest treatment when we find activity before we replace damaged wood.
Rock creates its own problem. A post set in a pocket drilled or chipped into limestone can sit in water that has nowhere to drain. The post rots from the bottom while it looks fine above. We cut out the damaged section, set the post on a raised metal base, and give the water a way out.
Permits Inside and Outside City Limits
Inside Liberty Hill city limits, the city permits any construction that physically changes or adds structures, so structural repairs will generally need a permit through MyPermitNow under the 2021 IRC. Outside city limits, unincorporated Williamson County issues no residential building permit, though work near a 100-year floodplain needs county floodplain review. We confirm which applies to your address.
Repair vs. Replace on an Acreage Deck
Acreage decks are big, so the repair or replace math matters more. A rebuild on the existing footprint runs $40 to $60 per sq ft. For a 400 sq ft deck that is 400 times $40 to $60, or $16,000 to $24,000. If the frame is solid and drilled into rock, keeping it and replacing the surface and railings is almost always the better value.
If the frame has widespread termite damage or rot, repairs chase problems across the whole deck, and a rebuild on the existing footprint wins. Reusing sound rock-drilled piers keeps the cost of a rebuild down, since the hardest part of the original work is already done.
We give you both numbers in writing so you can compare, and the one you pick is the price you pay.

Permits, HOAs, soil and local building tips for Liberty Hill
"Out here the ground is mostly rock with a little dirt on top. That changes the math. A big ground-level patio can cost less than a tall deck, because every footing on a deck means drilling into limestone. And if you've got a view to the west, we'll talk about shade before we talk about boards."

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.
