Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to build a deck in Houston?
Typical deck construction in Houston takes 2-4 weeks from permit approval to completion. This includes 3-5 days for foundation work, 5-7 days for framing and decking, and 2-3 days for railings and finishing touches. Weather conditions and permit processing may affect timeline.
What is the cost of building a deck in Houston?
In Houston, deck costs typically range from $25-$60 per square foot installed. Pressure-treated wood decks average $25-$35/sq ft, cedar decks $35-$45/sq ft, and composite decking $45-$60/sq ft. A standard 300 sq ft deck ranges from $7,500-$18,000 including materials and labor.
Do I need a permit to build a deck in Houston?
Yes, Houston requires permits for decks over 200 square feet or more than 30 inches above grade. Great Rock Renovations handles all permit applications and ensures compliance with Houston building codes. The permit process typically takes 5-10 business days.
What type of decking material is best for Houston's climate?
For Houston's humid climate, composite decking and pressure-treated pine perform best. Composite resists moisture, insects, and UV damage without annual sealing. Pressure-treated pine offers good durability at lower cost but requires regular maintenance. Cedar provides natural beauty but needs consistent sealing in Houston's humidity.
