Frequently asked questions
Can I buy the materials myself and just pay for labor?
Yes. On the quote form, answer “Yes — I have the materials (labor only)” and the material cost comes off your price automatically. We’ll send you an exact list of the lumber, decking, and hardware to buy so nothing is missing, and we check everything when we arrive. If you’d rather not deal with it, pick “you supply everything” and we handle the buying, pickup, and delivery.
How much does a deck cost in Austin?
Pressure-treated pine runs $35–$50 per square foot, cedar $45–$65, and composite $55–$80, including materials. A 12×16 composite deck is about $10,500–$15,400 before railing and stairs.
Composite or wood?
Wood costs less up front but needs staining every 2–3 years. Composite costs more but never needs staining and won’t splinter.
Do I need a permit?
Raised decks and attached pergolas usually do. We handle permits for you when they’re required.
How much does deck staining cost?
$2.50–$4.00 per square foot, including washing and two coats.
