Every job below is one we do ourselves across El Paso.
We frame new decks on concrete footings set below grade, sized for the load and span the design calls for. Ledger boards get flashed and bolted into the house framing, not just lag-screwed into siding. We'll walk you through pressure-treated pine, cedar and composite before we order anything.
Soft boards, wobbly posts, sagging stairs. We pull the bad lumber, check the joists and ledger underneath for rot, and replace what's actually failed instead of just capping it with a new board.
El Paso sun bleaches and dries out wood fast, and an unsealed deck starts to check and splinter within a couple of years. We pressure wash, let the wood dry fully, then apply a stain and sealer rated for UV exposure. Composite decks skip most of this, but boards still get washed down occasionally to stop uneven fading.
Multi-level decks, built-in benches, shade structures over the hot side of the yard, whatever the layout calls for. We design around how the sun actually moves across your property and how you plan to use the space, then price it out before any lumber shows up.
Composite boards from Trex, TimberTech and similar lines, installed with hidden fastener systems so there's no screw heads showing on top. No yearly staining, no splinters, and the color doesn't fade the way stained pine does after a few El Paso summers.
Loose balusters, rotted posts, railing that doesn't meet the 36-inch height code anymore. We rebuild railing to spec and make sure it's actually bolted into solid framing, not just toe-nailed to the rim joist.
If the frame and footings are still solid but the decking on top is cupped, gray, or splintering, we strip it off and replace just the boards. It's a faster, cheaper option than a full rebuild when the structure underneath still has life in it.
A pergola or a solid roof over part of your deck cuts the afternoon heat down a lot, which matters more here than in most places. We tie the structure into the deck framing itself, not just bolt posts into the decking surface.
Sometimes a deck's past saving, between rotted framing, failed footings, or just bad original construction. We tear it out, haul off the lumber and debris, and leave the site graded and ready for whatever comes next.
Screening in a covered deck keeps the bugs out without losing the airflow, which matters during the parts of the year El Paso actually gets humid. We frame the screen panels into the existing structure and add a door that latches instead of one that swings loose in the wind.
Four steps, and no surprises in any of them.
You tell us what you want doing, we look at what is actually there, and we ask the awkward questions early.
In writing, itemised, free. If something might add cost later we flag it now rather than at the end.
Same crew throughout. We cover your floors, keep the dust down and tidy up before we leave each day.
You point out anything you are not happy with and we fix it before the invoice, not after.
Deck installation and repair work covers El Paso and the surrounding valley.
Questions that come up once a deck project is actually underway.
Describe the problem and we will tell you what it probably is. No obligation.
