Houston builds decks on the lots that already have a fence coming down: the pine-canopy subdivisions north of the city, the established streets inside the loop, and the master-planned villages west of it. Most of those yards are flat gumbo clay under a live oak, which decides where the piers go and how deep. A Houston deck is mostly a floor with a roof over part of it, because the afternoon sun is the reason nobody sits on the patio in July.

The yard that builds decks in Houston
The crews that build decks in Houston run out of 22425 Hufsmith-Kohrville Road, Tomball. A salesperson measures the deck and the fence line in your yard on one visit, and the crew loads the lumber at ours before the truck leaves, so nobody spends a morning at your house waiting on a delivery.
Twenty-five to thirty crews out of two Houston yards, more than any other Texas company keeps in one metro, so a crew out sick in Houston is our problem rather than yours, and the date we give you is the date you get.
Why a deck in Houston fails, and what we build instead
A deck fails the way a fence does, at the post and in the ground, where the water sits. The ground in Houston is Gulf Coast gumbo clay that swells through a wet spring and shrinks through a dry August, so a deck pier goes below the ground that moves and sits on a footing sized for it, where a pier set shallow lifts a corner of the deck within three summers. The weather is a west sun on the back of most Houston lots from May to September, which is why most of the decks we build here carry a gazebo roof over part of the floor.
Houston sits deep in the high band of the federal wood-decay index, so the boards that stay wet longest are the ones to watch. Composite boards and cedar rails are the Houston buy, with treated pine on the frame and in the ground. The posts go on concrete footings sized for the ground, the treated pine frame hangs on metal hangers rather than nails into the house, and the rail is cedar or black metal in a cedar frame. Every job carries a one-year craftsmanship warranty on that work.
One visit, one quote, in Houston
The salesperson who measures your fence line in Houston measures the deck on the same visit, and one crew builds both.
Most of the decks we build in Houston go in with a fence, on an established lot where the old fence has just come out and the yard is open for a week. One quote carries both, and the work goes on one schedule.
The quote names the boards, the rail and the roof, so what turns up on the truck is what you paid for.
Custom decks, gazebos and trellises in Houston, priced standing in your yard
A deck is the one outdoor build that pays most of itself back at resale, and a gazebo or a trellis is what turns a fence line into somewhere to sit. Texas yards mostly get patios, so a proper deck stands out on the street, and the crew that built your fence builds it.
Pressure-treated pine deck in Houston
The workhorse and the lower number on the day. Treated southern pine takes foot traffic and weather, and it wants a sealer every couple of years to hold its color. Pick it for a big deck on a budget or a deck you plan to stain to match the fence.
Composite deck in Houston
Composite boards do not splinter and never need a sealer, and they cost more per square foot than pine. Pick it for a deck you will walk on barefoot and never want to sand. The boards carry the maker’s warranty, and our year covers the work.
A gazebo or a trellis in Houston
A gazebo puts a cedar roof over part of the deck, and a trellis screens a side of it or carries a vine along the fence. Both go up on the same posts as the deck. Pick them where the yard gets afternoon sun and you want somewhere to sit in July.
The full line, with the details that make a deck read as part of the house, is on the decks, gazebos and trellises page.
What a deck costs in Houston, and why ours is the number to hold
Zonda's Cost vs. Value Report puts a wood deck addition at $18,263 on the national average and a composite one at $25,096, and the wood deck gets 94.9% of its cost back at resale. Those are national project averages, before a rail, stairs or a roof.
Composite boards cost more than treated pine and never need a sealer. Height adds a rail and stairs. A gazebo roof or a trellis goes on the same posts and adds to it. A deck built with the fence shares the visit, the crew and the schedule, which is the cheapest way to get both.
One salesperson measures the deck and the fence on one visit, and one crew builds both on one schedule. A hundred crews put it up on the date we gave you, most of them in a day. One year of craftsmanship on the work, and not one callback on twenty thousand jobs last year.

Great work. We had two gates installed in the back yard and all fence posts wrapped in cedar. Turned out amazing. Great communication and pricing was fair. I’d use Johnson Services Company again.

Common questions about a deck in Houston
Do I need a permit for a deck in Houston?
Most Texas cities adopt the International Residential Code, which exempts a deck of 200 square feet or less that stands under 30 inches off the ground, is not attached to the house and does not serve the exit door. A deck bigger, higher or attached than that needs a permit, and we file it. Your HOA can still have a say on the height of a gazebo roof, and we check before a post goes in the ground.
Can you build the deck and the fence in Houston on one schedule?
Yes, and most of our decks go in that way. One salesperson measures both on the same visit, the quote carries both, and the same crew builds the deck while the yard is open for the fence. One start date, one clean-up, one warranty.
Pine or composite for a Houston deck?
Houston sits deep in the high band of the federal wood-decay index, so the boards that stay wet longest are the ones to watch. Composite boards and cedar rails are the Houston buy, with treated pine on the frame and in the ground. A salesperson prices both standing in your yard, so you can see the difference on paper before you pick.
How soon can a crew start on a deck in Houston?
About four days after you sign the quote, on a typical job. Twenty-five to thirty crews out of two Houston yards, more than any other Texas company keeps in one metro means one is free when you are ready, and the date we give you is the date you get.
Does a deck add value to a Houston home?
Zonda's Cost vs. Value Report puts a wood deck addition at $18,263 on the national average and finds it recoups 94.9% of that at resale, more than most projects on the list. A deck built with the fence costs less than the two priced apart, because the yard is only opened once.
What does the warranty cover on a Houston deck?
Every job carries a one-year craftsmanship warranty. It covers our work, how the piers sit, how the frame hangs and how the boards are fastened. The boards carry the maker's warranty, and across more than 20,000 jobs last year not one customer needed ours. Call the Houston North yard and a crew comes out.
