What's Included in Your Free Estimate
We don’t do ballpark guesses over the phone. Every property is different, and the only way to give you an accurate number is to see it in person. Here’s what you get when you schedule a free estimate with us.
We’ll start by walking your lot together. We’re looking at the grade, soil conditions, drainage patterns, sun exposure, and how the deck connects to your home’s structure. If you’re on a sloped lot or dealing with Austin’s expansive clay soil, that changes the foundation engineering requirements, and we want to catch that upfront rather than mid-build.
Then we’ll sit down and talk through what you’re looking for. Maybe it’s a simple ground-level platform off the back door. Maybe it’s a multi-level composite deck with cable railings and built-in lighting. Or maybe you prefer the warmth of a custom wood deck in cedar or ipe. We’ll go over material options and help you weigh the tradeoffs between cost, maintenance, and longevity.
Within a few days, you’ll get a written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. No vague ranges, no hidden fees, no pressure. If the numbers work, we’ll get you on the schedule. If they don’t, you’ve still got a solid reference point for your planning.
What to Have Ready
Your free estimate goes faster if you’ve thought through a few things ahead of time. You don’t need blueprints or exact measurements. Just a general sense of where you want the deck, roughly how large, what you plan to use it for, and whether you’ve got any HOA or permitting concerns. If you’ve seen custom deck designs you like online or in your neighborhood, photos help too.
If your property has unusual conditions like a steep slope, retaining walls, mature tree roots near the build area, or an existing structure that needs a full elevated deck rebuild, mention that when you call, so we can budget enough time for the visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a free deck estimate take?
Most estimate visits run about 30 to 45 minutes. We’ll walk the lot, talk through your goals, and go over material samples. Sloped properties or larger projects may take a bit longer since the site assessment is more involved.
How soon will I get my written estimate?
We typically deliver your written estimate within two to three business days after the site visit. Projects with multiple levels or custom features may take an extra day since we want to get the specs right before we put numbers on paper.
Is the estimate really free?
Yes. The on-site visit and written estimate are completely free, and there’s zero obligation to move forward. We want you to have accurate numbers so you can make the best decision for your home and budget.
What should I have ready before you come out?
A rough idea of where you want the deck, how you plan to use it, and any HOA rules that apply to your property. If you’ve got a budget range in mind, that helps us recommend the right materials. Photos of decks you like are useful too.
