Reviews of Houston Deck and Porch Contractors
Houston, TX
Great communication. Quick to start and finish. Very good quality.
Houston, TX
Russell Ponzoha, owner and designer of Creative Outdoor Design, is an impressive combination of experience, knowledge and creativity. We are delighted with our new deck and fence extension. Russell is very thorough, polite and organized as is his team, who has been with him for years. If we ever move and need another deck, Russell will be our man. I don't anticipate having to replace this one. It is going to outlive us!

Houston Deck Installation
Installing a deck in Houston can be one of the wisest home improvement choices you can make, but it needs to be the right deck for your home and situation. A deck, for example, should raise the value of your home when it's time to sell, but a wood deck that requires new sealant every year or two can become a turn-off more than a selling point. If you think you might be selling your home in the next ten years, composite decking may be a better choice.
On the other hand, a custom wood deck is something you can take personal pride in. The annual deck maintenance is something you can do with your kids or with a neighbor in return for hosting a BBQ. Whatever deck design you choose, one thing is certain: It will increase the enjoyment and living space of your home.
Deck Builders
Houston deck builders have some of the highest satisfaction ratings of any home improvement contractors in our system. Houston deck building companies, like those in other parts of the country, offer several home improvement services. Many also build patios, gazebos, and/or arbors. There's a good chance if you like the work your deck builder does, you can develop a relationship where you can get discounts on future work or ask for referrals for other companies in the home improvement industry.
You might think that with all the rain in Houston, wood decks would create all sorts of problems for homeowners. This can be true in many cases, but far from all of them. If you want a wood deck, it's still a viable option. Superior grade wood with water-repellent treatments can protect your deck against even the heaviest of rains. In fact, there are Houston deck builders who offer up to 50-year warranties on their wood decking. The only catch is that, as you would expect, premium wood decks aren't cheap.
Cost to Install a Deck
Without knowing exactly what kind and what size deck you're thinking about, it's impossible to give you a concrete idea of how much your Houston deck installation is going to cost. We can tell you that the national average for a deck building project is around $7,500 and our Houston numbers suggest, if anything, that installing a deck in Houston is cheaper than the national average.
Really, what it comes down to is a combination of what you can afford and what you want. Your financial resources, though, are often not as important as how much money you want to invest in this area of your home. If you don't have a lot of expendable cash, you can almost always get a loan with increased home equity. Or, you may have some extra money, but only want to use part of it on your new deck and the rest on another area of your home.
Project Length
So how long does it take to have your new deck up and running? Probably not as long as you think. The national average for a deck building project is under two weeks, but we frequently see Houston decks get done in less than a week. Don't be in so much of a hurry, however, that you miss salient details that the contractor should know about.
One Houston homeowner had a useful suggestion: Treat your Houston deck builder like a hairstylist. Try to find a picture of what you want your deck to look like so there's no confusion about what the end result is supposed to be.
