Central Texas Deck Builders You Can Trust

Built to Last. Crafted for Comfort. Trusted in Texas for Over 15 Years.

Your home deserves more than just a deck. It deserves a custom outdoor space that brings people together, a space that’s safe, stylish, and built to endure the Central Texas climate. At Apex Deck Builders, we specialize in high-quality deck installation, repair, replacement, and staining services tailored to the unique needs of Texas homeowners. For over 15 years, we’ve helped families across Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Lakeway, and Georgetown create beautiful outdoor experiences right in their own backyards.

Whether you’re building your first deck or replacing an aging structure, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

The ROI of a Professionally Built Deck

Adding a professionally built deck is one of the best ways to boost your home’s resale value. According to Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs. Value Report, homeowners can recoup up to 65–80% of the cost of a new deck upon resale, and even more in desirable Texas neighborhoods where outdoor living is a priority. Beyond financial ROI, you’re also gaining daily value: more space to relax, entertain, and enjoy the outdoors without leaving home. At Apex, we make sure your deck adds both beauty and lasting value.

What’s the Difference Between Deck Repair and Replacement?

Homeowners often ask whether they should repair their deck or replace it entirely. Here’s a quick guide:

  • Choose repair if your deck has minor surface damage, like cracked boards, loose railings, or faded stain,  but the structure underneath is still solid.

  • Choose replacement if the damage is widespread, the framing is rotting or unstable, or your deck no longer meets your space or design needs.

Not sure which you need? Our team will assess your deck during your free consultation and help you make the most cost-effective, long-term choice.

Choosing the Right Decking Material for Your Home

From pressure-treated pine to cedar, redwood, and composite decking like Trex or TimberTech, the material you choose affects everything from cost to maintenance.

  • Wood decks offer classic charm but need more upkeep.

  • Composite decks cost more upfront but are low-maintenance and long-lasting.

  • PVC options are ultra-durable and moisture-resistant, ideal near pools or in humid areas.

We help you weigh the pros and cons to make the best decision for your budget, lifestyle, and aesthetic.

What Size Deck Do You Really Need?

There’s no one-size-fits-all deck. It all depends on your outdoor goals:

  • A 10×10 deck is great for small patios or grilling.

  • A 12×20 deck fits a dining table and a few chairs comfortably.

  • A wraparound deck gives large homes a full outdoor living experience.

We’ll help you measure your yard, understand zoning regulations, and choose a size that complements your home, not overwhelms it.

How Long Does a Deck Last in Central Texas?

On average, a well-maintained wooden deck lasts 15–20 years, while composite decking can last 25–30 years or more. However, Texas weather plays a big role, sun exposure, humidity, and rainfall can shorten your deck’s lifespan without proper treatment. That’s why we offer staining, sealing, and material recommendations specific to our region. With Apex, you’re not just getting a deck, you’re getting one that’s built to last in Central Texas conditions.

Permits & Regulations: What Texas Homeowners Need to Know

In most Central Texas cities, including Austin and Round Rock, building a deck larger than 200 square feet or more than 30 inches off the ground usually requires a permit. HOA rules and local codes can also influence what you can build. The good news? We handle all permits and paperwork for you. From start to finish, we make sure your project complies with state and city regulations so you don’t run into delays or fines.

How to Maintain Your Deck Year-Round

A beautiful deck is a long-term investment, and it deserves proper care:

  • Clean it seasonally with a broom and mild soap solution.

  • Stain or seal it every 2–3 years to prevent sun and water damage.

  • Inspect railings and boards for signs of wear, warping, or termites.

Don’t worry, we’ll give you a maintenance plan after installation, and you can always call us for professional re-staining or repairs.
