We use high-quality decking materials like cedar, composite materials, steel framing, and exotic woods such as Ipe, and Tigerwood for our decks. These materials are selected for their durability, beauty, and ability to withstand Austin’s weather conditions, ensuring your deck lasts for years to come. For our subframes, we typically use Pressure treated pine or steel depending on the use case and load/fire requirements.

The timeline for building a custom deck depends on the size and complexity of the project. Typically, most residential decks average 200 square feet of decking built per day, from the footings to the installation of the decking itself. Staircases, railing, skirting, and paint can add complexity however nearly all residential decks are completed within a week.
