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.

### How long does a project take in San Antonio?

A cedar pergola is built in 1 to 2 weeks on site once materials and any HOA approval are in hand. Composite or cedar decks take 3 to 6 weeks from signed contract to walk-through once permits clear; multi-level and pool decks run 6 to 10 weeks. HOA review typically adds 2 to 4 weeks to the calendar before the build starts. The schedule is committed in writing.
