Same six steps in every neighborhood
Step 1: Consult
We meet at your home, walk the backyard, and listen to how you actually want to use the space. A real conversation about the project, with no pressure and no hard sell.
Step 2: Design and scope
We sketch the layout in place, talk through structure and elevation, and define a clear written scope so everyone knows exactly what is being built.
Step 3: Materials
We bring real material samples to your home and compare them in your own light. Composite versus cedar, roof options, railings, and finishes, chosen with you, not guessed.
Step 4: Permits and HOA
When your project needs HOA approval or a city permit, we prepare the submission package and handle the back-and-forth so you are not chasing paperwork.
Step 5: Build
A tight, trusted crew builds the project on a written schedule. You get regular progress updates, so you always know what is happening and what comes next.
Step 6: Walk-through
We walk the finished project with you, complete a punch list together, and hand over every manufacturer warranty registered in your name.

Serving San Antonio, the Texas Hill Country and the I-35 corridor to Austin.
How much does a deck cost in San Antonio?
A 16x30 basic wood deck with handrails in San Antonio 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.
Do you handle City of San Antonio permits?
Yes. We pull all deck, electrical, gas, and roof permits required by the City of San Antonio, Bexar County, or the relevant ETJ. Permitting is a line item in your quote.
How does San Antonio's climate affect material choice?
Direct sun and surface temperatures are the two biggest factors. We choose heat-rated capped composites for sun-exposed decks, sealed cedar for shaded structures, and stainless-grade fasteners that survive Hill Country humidity.
Which HOAs require architectural review in San Antonio?
Most master-planned communities commonly require it, including Stone Oak, Alamo Ranch, Cibolo Valley, Timberwood Park, Champions Run, the Dominion, Fair Oaks Ranch, Garden Ridge, and Sonterra. Each has its own guidelines on material, color and height. We prepare the submission package and handle the back-and-forth; review typically takes 2 to 4 weeks.
Can you build during the summer when it is 100 plus degrees?
Yes. The crew starts at sunrise, shifts to shaded work mid-day, and stages materials to keep job sites organized through the heat. Composite color choice matters more on a sun-exposed deck, so we compare lighter, capped boards on site before you choose.
