Taylor offers a unique blend of small-town Texas charm and proximity to the Austin metro. With a historic downtown, established neighborhoods, and new development driven by major employers, Taylor homeowners appreciate quality craftsmanship. Our outdoor living projects here range from traditional wood decks and gazebos that complement historic homes to modern composite structures for new construction.
"Taylor's got older homes downtown and new development on the edges. Different approach for each. The historic houses need something that fits — wood, traditional style. Newer builds, we usually go composite. Samsung brought a lot of growth out here, so we're doing more work in Taylor than we used to."
— Peter Toomey, Founder
A well-built deck adds 70-80% of its cost back to your home value - one of the highest ROIs of any home improvement. But a poorly built deck becomes a liability: wood rot, unstable railings, even detachment from the house. In Texas, where we swing from 20 degrees to 105 degrees in a single year, proper engineering isn't optional.
Our deck designs account for 100+ degree surface temperatures, freeze-thaw cycles, and the expansion/contraction that destroys poorly built decks. We've refined these details over 5,000 projects.
We back our workmanship for a full year and your materials carry manufacturer warranties up to 50 years. That's confidence earned from four decades of standing behind our work. Most contractors won't even put their warranty in writing.
Permits, HOA architectural review, utility locates, inspections - it's all included. You approve the design and we take it from there. No project management headaches for you.
No subcontractors, no rotating workers. The experienced team that starts your deck finishes it. They take pride in their work because their name is on it.
The challenge: Taylor's historic downtown has preservation guidelines that affect outdoor structure designs.
How we handle it: We design structures that complement historic architecture while using modern, durable materials. We understand preservation requirements and create designs that honor the character of older homes.
The challenge: Many Taylor homes are older with unique structural considerations.
How we handle it: We assess each older home individually, checking for proper attachment points and ensuring new structures work with existing construction. Our 40 years of experience includes plenty of older homes.
The challenge: Some Taylor properties are on larger rural lots with unique access and utility situations.
How we handle it: We serve rural Taylor properties just like in-town lots. We assess site access, utility locations, and any special requirements before construction begins.
