TL;DR
Book a quick, low‑friction deck estimate in Austin. We measure, map constraints, discuss goals and budget bands, then deliver a written scope with 2–3 priced options (materials, rails, lighting), a calendarized build plan, and clear notes on permits/HOA. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you sign.
1
Quick Intake (5–10 min call or form).
We capture address, photos (house/backyard), rough dimensions, and your wishlist. If you already have an HOA, let us know its typical requirements.
2
Site Visit & Measurements.
We verify grades, house interfaces, utilities, and access. For replacements, we assess ledger fastening, beam/joist spans, and post condition; for new installs, we map setbacks/easements and likely footing locations.
3
Concept & Options.
We sketch layouts (zones, stair locations, rail types) and discuss good‑better‑best materials. Considering a multi‑level layout? We’ll show how tiers solve slopes (see Multi‑Level Deck Installation Austin). Pool in the mix? We’ll add cool‑touch considerations from our Pool Deck Installation Austin playbook.
4
Written Scope & Pricing.
Within a short window, you’ll receive a detailed scope with 2–3 options. Each option lists framing specs, decking/rail lines, lighting, accessories, and allowances (e.g., haul‑off, excavation). We’ll include a permit/inspection plan and a calendarized build schedule.
5
Review Call & Revisions.
We review line items, answer questions, and make adjustments to the scope (e.g., swapping rail systems or adding a pergola) before finalizing.
6
Lock‑In & Scheduling.
On approval, we lock materials, submit permits/HOA, and confirm the build slot.
If a deeper diagnostic is needed (e.g., for a real‑estate transaction), we may recommend a formal Deck Inspection Austin with a photo‑rich report.
Every estimate includes:
Base scope with exact inclusions (demo, framing, decking, rail, lighting rough‑in) and explicit exclusions (e.g., unforeseen rot beyond X square feet, utility relocations).
Allowances for items with variable final cost (e.g., rock excavation, specialty rail hardware).
Two to three options: for example, cedar vs. composite surfaces, aluminum vs. cable rail, and add‑ons (privacy screen, pergola, under‑deck drainage).
Payment schedule tied to milestones (deposit → framing inspection → surfaces → final).
Notes: rock excavation and utility moves are allowance‑based and discussed up front.
We provide deck estimates across Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Lakeway, Leander, and Georgetown, as well as neighborhoods like Zilker, Mueller, Circle C, Steiner Ranch, Allandale, Tarrytown, Travis Heights, and Brushy Creek.
