Custom Wood & Composite Decks for Houston
Detail Construction designs and builds wood and composite decks, pool decks, and multi-level outdoor living platforms across Greater Houston. We frame with weather-resistant fasteners and joist tape, set posts properly for our clay soil, and detail every connection for the kind of long Houston outdoor seasons that punish a poorly-built deck.
Wood vs Composite in a Humid Climate
Houston's heat, humidity, and heavy rain shorten the life of un-maintained wood decks. Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech, and similar) costs more up front but resists rot, mold, and fading with almost no maintenance — typically the better long-term value here. Cedar and pressure-treated wood remain great budget options if you're willing to seal them every 1–3 years.
Deck Repair & Restoration
You don't always need a new deck — many Houston decks are structurally sound but need rot-board replacement, re-leveling, fastener upgrades, and a fresh stain or paint. We assess the framing first and recommend the lowest-cost fix that actually lasts. Restorations are often a fraction of a full rebuild.
Pricing, Permits & Timeline
Wood decks in Houston run $25–$50 per square foot installed; composite runs $40–$70 per square foot. A typical 300 sq ft deck lands between $8,000 and $20,000. Attached and elevated decks usually require a Houston permit, which we pull for you. Most builds take 1–3 weeks. Free estimates: (281) 802-5366.
How much does a deck cost in Houston?
Wood deck installation in Houston runs $25–$50 per square foot for pressure-treated or cedar lumber, and $40–$70 per square foot for composite. A typical 300 sq ft deck costs about $8,000–$20,000 depending on material, height, and railings. Composite costs more upfront but resists Houston's heat, humidity, and rot with little maintenance. Elevated, multi-level, or permitted decks cost more. Most decks take 1–3 weeks to build. Call (281) 802-5366 for a free estimate.
Should I choose wood or composite decking in Houston?
Composite decking is often the better long-term value in Houston because it resists the humidity, heat, and rot that wear down wood, with almost no maintenance. Cedar and pressure-treated wood cost less upfront but need regular sealing to survive the climate. We'll help you weigh budget vs. maintenance. Call (281) 802-5366 for a free estimate.
Do I need a permit for a deck in Houston?
Attached decks and elevated decks above a certain height generally require a permit in Houston, while low ground-level decks often do not. We confirm the requirements for your property and pull any permits needed so the deck is built to code.
