Deck Builder in Houston, TX

Cedar and wood decks built on footings that hold in gumbo clay, framed for Gulf humidity, and finished to last.

About This Service

We have set posts in Houston clay for more than 40 years. A deck starts with posts, too.

The part of a Houston deck that fails first is the part underneath. Footings shift in wet clay. Framing rots where water sits. Hardware rusts through in the humidity. So our wood deck builds start below grade and work up: footings set in concrete, pressure-treated framing where the wood meets the weather, coated structural hardware, and cedar or treated boards gapped to drain and dry.

Cedar and wood decks, built to fit the yard

Ground-level platform decks that turn a soggy corner into usable space. Raised decks off the back door, with stairs and railings built to code. Wraparound and multi-level layouts that work around trees, pools, and slopes. Cedar brings rich color and natural rot resistance. Pressure-treated pine gives you the most deck per dollar. We price both side by side so you can choose.

Built for Houston clay and Gulf humidity

Houston soil swells when it rains and shrinks when it dries, and a deck feels every inch of that movement. We size and set footings to keep the frame level, leave room for air to move under the boards so moisture doesn't linger, and use fasteners and joist hangers made for humid coastal air. Then we stain and seal, because unprotected wood in this climate grays and checks fast. The same care routine in our fence maintenance checklist keeps a deck looking new.

Add shade, privacy, and a gate

Plenty of decks need a little more. A cedar pergola over the deck adds filtered shade. A cedar privacy fence blocks the neighbor's view. A matching gate keeps kids and dogs where they belong. One crew, one schedule, one warranty.

Comprehensive Fencing Solutions for Every Home

Fast Eddie’s provides fencing for Gulf Coast homes built for durability, style, and lasting protection.

How long does a wood deck last in Houston?

With solid footings, good framing, and regular stain and seal, a cedar or pressure-treated deck can last 15 years or more here. Skip the maintenance and humidity shortens that fast. The finish is the cheapest insurance you can buy.

Cedar or pressure-treated: which deck wood is better?

Cedar looks richer, resists rot and insects naturally, and stays more stable as it dries. Pressure-treated pine costs less and is tough underfoot. Many decks use a treated frame with cedar boards on top. We price both so you can choose with real numbers.

Do I need a permit to build a deck?

Often, yes. Raised decks, decks attached to the house, and larger footprints usually need a building permit, and rules vary by city and HOA. We check what your property needs and handle the paperwork before we build.

Can you add a pergola or privacy screen to my deck?

Yes. We build cedar pergolas over new decks, plus privacy fencing, railings, and gates matched to the wood. Doing it all with the deck build keeps the look consistent and the schedule simple.
