Deck Construction FAQ

Common questions about deck construction in San Antonio

What types of decking materials do you use in San Antonio?
We work with cedar, pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, and hardwoods. For San Antonio's climate, we often recommend cedar or composite materials for their durability against heat and humidity. Cedar naturally resists insects and weather, while composite requires minimal maintenance.
How long does deck construction take?
Most custom decks take 1-3 weeks to complete, depending on size and complexity. Simple rectangular decks typically take 1-2 weeks, while complex multi-level decks with pergolas or custom features may take 3-4 weeks. Weather conditions can affect timeline.
Do I need permits for deck construction in San Antonio?
Yes, most deck construction in San Antonio requires permits. We handle all permit applications and inspections. Decks attached to the house or over 30 inches high typically require structural permits. We ensure all work meets city codes and HOA requirements.
What's the cost range for custom deck construction?
Custom decks typically range from $15,000-$45,000+ depending on size, materials, and features. Basic cedar decks start around $15,000, while premium composite or hardwood decks with pergolas can exceed $45,000. We provide detailed estimates based on your specific needs.
Can you build decks on sloped yards?
Yes, we specialize in challenging terrain including sloped yards common in San Antonio hill country areas. We use proper foundation techniques and may recommend multi-level designs that work with your property's natural grade while ensuring structural integrity.
What maintenance is required for different deck materials?
Cedar decks need annual cleaning and staining every 2-3 years. Pressure-treated lumber requires similar maintenance. Composite decking needs only occasional cleaning with soap and water. We provide maintenance guides and can recommend local suppliers for materials.
Do you include railings and built-in features?
Yes, we design and build custom railings, built-in seating, planters, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens. All railings meet safety codes, and we can match existing architectural styles. Built-in features are designed to integrate seamlessly with your deck structure.
What warranty do you provide on deck construction?
We provide a 5-year warranty on all structural work and craftsmanship. This covers foundation, framing, and installation issues. Material warranties vary by manufacturer - composite typically comes with 25+ year warranties, while wood warranties depend on treatment and species.
