Wood (pressure-treated pine or cedar) costs less upfront but needs staining or sealing every 2–3 years and is more susceptible to warping in Texas heat. Composite costs more upfront but requires almost no maintenance, resists fading and staining, and often carries a 25-year manufacturer warranty. For most Texas homeowners who want to enjoy the deck — not maintain it — composite wins long-term.

Yes — when required by your city or county, we handle the full permit process. Most attached decks over a certain square footage require permits in Austin, Buda, Kyle, San Marcos, and surrounding cities. We know the local codes and submit complete, accurate applications to avoid delays.

A standard 300–400 sq ft deck typically takes 1–2 weeks from permit approval to completion. Covered porches and larger structures may take 2–4 weeks. Permit timelines vary by municipality — we factor that into your project schedule upfront so there are no surprises.

A wood deck should be cleaned and sealed or stained every 2–3 years in Central Texas. Inspect annually for loose boards, popped fasteners, and soft spots — especially after wet seasons. We provide a full maintenance guide after every wood deck installation, and we're available for seasonal maintenance work.

Yes — attached covered porches are one of our most common projects. We tie into your existing roof structure, match your home's roofline and exterior finish, and handle all flashing and waterproofing details. Every attachment point is properly flashed and inspected before the ceiling goes up.

All our decks and porches come with a 1-year workmanship warranty covering structural integrity, fastener failure, and installation defects. Composite decking carries the manufacturer's warranty (typically 25 years for fading and staining). Pressure-treated lumber is warranted against rot and insect damage by the manufacturer.
