Deck Builders Austin TX
Austin’s climate is made for outdoor living—nine months of the year, you could be grilling, entertaining, or just enjoying your backyard. A well-built deck makes that possible. A poorly-built deck becomes a liability.
Austin Fence & Deck Builders has been designing and building custom decks across Central Texas since 2007. We build with quality materials, proper engineering, and attention to the details that matter—joist spacing, ledger connections, post footings, and finishes that hold up to Texas heat and humidity. Whether you want a simple wood deck off the back door or a multi-level composite entertaining space, we build it right.

Deck Installation
New deck construction from design through completion. We handle permits, materials, construction, and final inspection. Every deck is built to code and engineered for your specific property.
Deck Repair
Broken boards, wobbly railings, soft spots, damaged stairs—we fix it all. Our repair team assesses what’s salvageable and what needs replacement, then restores your deck to safe, solid condition.
Deck Replacement
When repair costs approach replacement value, or when your deck has structural issues beyond repair, we tear down the old and build new. We protect your home and landscaping throughout the process.
Deck Staining
Protect your wood deck from Austin’s sun and weather. We clean, prep, and apply quality penetrating stains that extend deck life and restore appearance.
Deck Inspection
Safety assessments and structural evaluations for existing decks. We identify problems before they become dangerous and provide detailed repair recommendations.
Deck Maintenance
Ongoing care to keep your deck in top condition—cleaning, sealing, hardware tightening, and minor repairs before they become major problems.
Deck Types We Build
Wood Decks
Classic, natural, and warm underfoot. We build with:
- Pressure-treated pine — The most affordable option; requires regular staining but lasts 15–20 years with proper care
- Cedar — Natural beauty and rot resistance; weathers to silver-gray or can be stained to maintain color
- Exotic hardwoods — Ipe, tigerwood, and other premium options for distinctive appearance and exceptional durability
Wood decks require maintenance but offer a natural aesthetic that composite can’t fully replicate.
Composite Decks
Zero-maintenance decking that won’t rot, warp, crack, or splinter. We’re experienced installers of:
- Trex — The industry leader in composite decking
- TimberTech — Premium options with realistic wood grain
- Fiberon — Quality composite at competitive price points
Composite costs more upfront but eliminates ongoing maintenance costs and lasts 25+ years.
Pool Decks
Decking designed for pool surrounds—slip-resistant surfaces, moisture-resistant materials, and integration with pool fencing. We build with composite or properly treated wood.
Rooftop Decks
Urban outdoor living on flat roofs. Lightweight framing systems, proper drainage, and waterproofing protection for the structure below. Popular in downtown Austin and East Austin.
Multi-Level Decks
Tiered designs that work with sloped yards or create distinct zones—dining level, lounging level, hot tub platform. Stairs and landings connect the spaces.
Custom Decks
Unique layouts, built-in features, and premium materials. If you have a specific vision—wraparound design, outdoor kitchen integration, fire pit area, built-in seating—we design and build it.
Commercial Decks
Decks for restaurants, apartments, offices, and retail spaces. Code-compliant designs with commercial-grade materials and finishes.
Eco-Friendly Decking
Sustainable options include recycled composite materials, FSC-certified wood, and low-VOC finishes for environmentally conscious projects.

What Makes a Deck Last in Austin?
Central Texas is tough on outdoor structures:
- Heat. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F. Decking materials expand and contract, and can warp or crack if not properly installed with the correct spacing.
- UV exposure. Intense sun fades, finishes, and degrades wood fibers. Quality stains and UV-resistant composite materials make a difference.
- Rain and humidity. Wood absorbs moisture, swells, then dries and shrinks. This cycle causes checking, cupping, and eventual rot if not managed.
- Soil movement. Austin’s clay soil shifts with changes in moisture. Deck footings need proper depth to avoid heaving and settling.
We’ve been building decks here since 2007. We specify materials and methods that work in this climate.
