Frequently Asked
Questions

Wood or composite decking — which is better for Texas homes?

Composite decking typically requires less maintenance and holds up better to humidity over time, while wood decking offers a lower upfront cost and a more traditional look. We’ll help you weigh the trade-offs during your estimate.

Do I need a permit for a new deck or patio cover?

Permit requirements vary by size, structure type, and municipality. We’ll help you understand what’s required for your specific project.

How long does it take to build a deck or patio cover?

Most residential deck and patio cover projects take one to two weeks, depending on size and complexity.

Can you repair my existing deck instead of replacing it?

Often, yes — we assess whether repair or replacement makes more sense based on the extent of damage and the structure’s overall condition.
