Terrain and soil
Boerne sits on the Edwards Plateau in Kendall County, so most lots are thin soil over limestone with rolling grade and mature live oak canopy.
MoreLess
Deck piers are usually drilled into rock rather than dug, and multi-level designs are common because few backyards are flat. Live oaks here are vulnerable to oak wilt, so we schedule any pruning to clear a deck line outside February to June and paint every cut.
Permits and HOA review
Inside Boerne city limits the City of Boerne typically requires a permit for a deck, arbor or gazebo and publishes no size exemption, so the permit is assumed.
MoreLess
Outside the city, Kendall County has no residential building code and issues no building permit, but the County Engineer permits septic, floodplain and outdoor-lighting work. Esperanza is the exception: its development agreement makes the city its permit desk even though it sits in the ETJ. Cordillera Ranch, Esperanza and Tapatio Springs each run an architectural review with their own material and color guidelines, and Guadalupe River lots in Cordillera Ranch check the county floodplain map.
Why it matters
A deck that is drilled into rock, stepped to the grade and kept clear of the drain field is a different scope from a flat-lot deck in the city, and the review packet in a gated Boerne community is longer than most.
MoreLess
Klema Builders scopes the piers, the oak canopy and the packet to the exact lot before the fixed price is written.

Common questions
Does Klema Builders build custom decks in Boerne, Texas?

How much does a custom deck cost in Boerne?
A 16x30 basic wood deck with handrails in Boerne starts at $6,500, labor and materials included. That is a 16 ft by 30 ft (480 sq ft) deck in economy-grade wood with no upgrades (no composite boards, lighting, multi-level framing or built-ins), with handrails, built and installed. The final number depends on the decking material, the height above the ground, stairs, railing style, permits and HOA review. Every job gets a written fixed-price quote, line by line, within 3 to 5 business days after a free in-home consult.
What wood do you use for decks in Boerne?
Wood decks in Boerne are built with western red cedar, ipe, or pressure-treated southern yellow pine. Cedar carries the warm, traditional Hill Country look, with hand-cut decorative ends, sanded by hand, and sealed for Texas UV. Ipe is the hardwood option for a 30-plus year lifespan, oiled annually. Pressure-treated pine is the framing standard for every Klema deck. Hill Country decks for Cordillera Ranch, Tapatio Springs, and acreage homes along Boerne Stage Road. Stainless and coated fasteners survive local humidity swings, and we flash every ledger connection to prevent the slow rot that starts where the deck meets the house.
Do you build composite decks in Boerne?
Yes. We build composite decks in Boerne with Trex, TimberTech, and Fiberon. Surface temperature, UV stability, and structural shrinkage are the three Texas-specific failure points we engineer around. We compare board colors in your own sun at the consult, choose heat-rated capped composites, and specify stainless or coated fasteners. Lighter composite colors and modern capped boards run cooler than dark first-generation composite. Manufacturer warranties pass through to you on day one: Trex up to 50 years, TimberTech up to 50, Fiberon up to 30.
Do you build multi-level and pool decks in Boerne?
Yes. Most Boerne backyards benefit from at least two levels. A platform off the back door for the dining table and lounge seating, stepping down to a larger entertaining tier with seating and a fire feature. We engineer stairs, lighting, and railing heights to current IRC code in every jurisdiction we serve. Pool decks get slip-resistant surfaces, generous coping detail, and engineered drainage transitions. Every multi-level deck we build is custom-designed to your lot, your view corridor, and the way you actually live outside.
Do you handle HOA submissions and permits?
Yes, every time. We prepare the architectural review package, the site plans, and the material specs, and submit on your behalf. We also pull all required deck and electrical permits and coordinate inspections. Permitting is a line item in your quote.
More questions (4)Fewer questions
How long does the build take from quote to walk-through?
Composite or cedar decks take 3 to 6 weeks from signed contract to walk-through once permits clear. Multi-level decks or pool decks run 6 to 10 weeks. We provide a written schedule in your contract.
Will a composite deck get too hot in Texas summers?
Dark first-generation composite can get hot in direct August sun. Lighter colors and modern capped boards run cooler, and we compare samples in your own sun before you commit.
Can you build on a sloped Hill Country lot?
Yes. Multi-level decks on caliche, limestone, and clay soils are normal terrain for us. We engineer the pier depth and beam spans for your specific lot, with stamped drawings if your jurisdiction requires them.
What manufacturer warranties come with the materials you install?
Manufacturer warranties on composite decking pass through to you on day one: Trex up to 50 years, TimberTech up to 50, Fiberon up to 30. Every manufacturer warranty is registered in your name at the walk-through.
