Deck building in Lindale, Tyler, Van & East Texas

Signs it is time

• Boards that are cupped, cracked or splintering
• A bounce or sway when people walk across it
• Rusted fasteners or loose railings
• Rot where the deck meets the house
• A back door that opens onto nothing but dirt

What we do

• Design & layout: Size, shape and stairs that fit how you will use it.
• Footings & framing: Set below grade and framed to carry the load.
• Ledger & flashing: Attached and flashed so water stays out of the house.
• Decking: Pressure-treated or composite boards.
• Rails & stairs: Solid, safe and built to code where it applies.
• Stain & seal: Protection from sun and rain.

Built for East Texas weather

We build up in the trees for a living: Upward Treehouse and Moon Honey Treehouse both have decks, catwalks and stairs built by this crew. A backyard deck on solid ground is the easy version, but we build it with the same care. In our humidity, ventilation under the deck and the right fasteners make a big difference in how long it lasts.

Options

• New deck: Ground-level or raised.
• Rebuild: New boards and rails on a sound frame.
• Repair: Rotten boards, loose rails and wobbly stairs.
• Cover it: Add a roof, pergola or screen.

Questions

Pressure-treated or composite?

Pressure-treated pine is affordable and strong but needs regular stain. Composite costs more up front and needs less upkeep. We will price both if you want to compare.

Can you add a roof over my deck?

Yes. We build covered decks, pergolas and screened porches.

Do you repair decks you did not build?

Yes. We check the framing first so new boards are not going on a bad frame.
