Texas-Tough Decks That Look Great Too
Texas weather demands more than just good looks. Our decks are built to last with durable materials and expert craftsmanship. From natural wood to low-maintenance options, we make sure your deck can handle the heat, the storms, and the foot traffic — year after year.
Designed With Your Life in Mind
You don’t want a cookie-cutter deck. You want a space that fits your home, your yard, and your way of living. We’ll walk through your ideas, measure everything with care, and create a layout that feels like an extension of your home — not just an add-on.
Our Decking Materials
The character and longevity of your deck begin with the right materials. We pride ourselves on offering a superior selection of decking options, ensuring we have the perfect fit for your home’s aesthetic, your lifestyle, and your budget.
Treated Lumber
A reliable and popular choice, our high-quality treated lumber provides excellent durability and protection against rot and insects at an affordable price point. It’s a classic foundation for countless Texas decks, offering a traditional look that can be stained to your exact preference.
Natural Woods
Cedar & Red Oak: For those who desire unparalleled natural beauty, we specialize in building with premium woods like Cedar and Red Oak. These materials boast rich, warm tones and inherent resistance to the elements. A Cedar or Red Oak deck offers a timeless, high-end appeal that adds significant value and character to your home.
Composite Decking
Azek & Trex: If low-maintenance living is your goal, composite decking is the ultimate solution. We are expert installers of industry-leading brands like Azek and Trex, which offer incredible resistance to staining, fading, and scratching. Composite decks won't splinter, warp, or rot, giving you more time to enjoy your outdoor space and less time maintaining it.
Trusted Partner Materials
Our commitment to you means providing endless choices. We also expertly install quality products like Lowe's Choice Decking and Owens Corning Decking Materials, expanding your options for color, texture, and style to ensure your vision is perfectly realized.
A Local Deck Contractor You Can Count On
We’re proud to be known as the go-to deck contractor in Gun Barrel City. That means showing up on time, respecting your property, and building something we’d be proud to show off ourselves. No surprises, no gimmicks — just honest work done right.
Customized Construction & Design Integrity
A beautiful deck is also a well-built one. Our craftsmanship is second to none, and we pay meticulous attention to the structural details that guarantee a safe and solid build. We empower you with choices, explaining the benefits of different techniques. You can select between screwed-down boards, which offer superior holding power and prevent nail-pop over time, or traditional nailed-down construction.
This customization extends to the design elements that make your deck unique. We’ll help you choose the perfect railing system to complement your home’s architecture. Whether you prefer the timeless look of traditional wood handrails and balusters or the clean, modern aesthetic of a cable hand railing that offers an unobstructed view, we have the expertise to execute it flawlessly.
Outdoor Living, the Law Roofing Way
Whether you’re replacing an old deck or starting from scratch, we’re here to guide you through every step. We don’t just build decks — we build outdoor spaces that bring people together.
Protection & Staining
For our natural wood decks, the work isn’t finished when the last board is laid. A crucial step for ensuring the longevity of your investment is the finishing process. We allow the new wood to cure for 3-4 months after construction. This vital drying period allows the moisture and chemicals from the pressure-treating process to evaporate, ensuring the wood is ready to deeply absorb the protective sealant.
Once cured, we return to apply our professional-grade waterproofing and staining services. This final step protects your deck from the harsh Texas sun and moisture, preventing cracking and splitting. We offer a full range of finishes to match your style:
Transparent Stains
Allows the full natural beauty and grain of the wood to shine through.
Semi-Transparent Stains
Adds a touch of color while still showcasing the wood’s natural texture.
Solid Stains
Provides maximum UV protection and a bold, opaque color for a dramatic and durable finish.

Deck Building Questions
What materials do you use for decks?
- Wood: Treated, Cedar, or Red Oak.
- Composite: Azek, Trex, or Lowe's Choice Decking materials
- Owens Corning Decking Materials
Should my deck be screwed or nailed together? What are the pros and cons of each?
Screws offer a stronger, more secure hold and are less likely to back out over time, leading to fewer squeaks and less need for future repairs. Nails are faster to install and generally cost less. For a long-lasting, stable deck, we typically recommend screws.
What are the options for handrails and balusters? Do you offer cable hand railing?
Yes, we offer cable hand railing, along with a variety of traditional wood and composite options for handrails and balusters to match your deck's style.
What kind of foundation will the deck have?
Our decks typically use poured concrete footings for a strong, durable, and long-lasting foundation that meets local building codes and prevents frost heave.
How long does deck construction typically take?
Deck construction time varies based on size and style. A small deck can take around 4 days, while a large, more complex or covered deck might take up to 2 weeks.
Do I need a permit for my deck?
Decks need permits in city limits, but the county does not require a permit.
What kind of maintenance will my deck require?
Regular maintenance includes sweeping to remove debris, cleaning with a deck-specific cleaner, and inspecting for loose fasteners or damaged boards. For wood decks, periodic staining or sealing is essential to protect against weathering and rot.
When can the deck be stained or waterproofed after it's built?
Staining happens 3-4 months after being built to allow the wood to dry and acclimate.
What are the differences between transparent, semi-transparent, and solid stains/waterproofing options?
- Transparent stains offer minimal color, allowing the natural wood grain to show through while providing UV and moisture protection.
- Semi-transparent stains add a touch of color while still allowing some of the wood grain to be visible.
- Solid stains provide an opaque, paint-like finish that completely covers the wood grain, offering the most color and protection, but may be more prone to cracking or peeling over time.
Can you help with the design of the deck, or do I need to have a plan ready?
