Design & Materials

  • Concrete footings sized for clay soils; hardware with uplift/lateral resistance.
  • Proper ledger anchoring with flashing and isolation details to protect the house.
  • Cedar/Wood: Beautiful texture, lower upfront cost; needs a stain schedule for longevity.
  • Composite: Fade- and rot-resistant with minimal upkeep; verify heat retention and board profile for Austin’s sun.

Timber, composite, or metal rails; cable systems; integrated LED step and post lighting; privacy screens; shade elements.

  • Slope, spacing, and downspout planning to move water away from foundations.
  • Membranes/joist tape where exposure risks are high; roof‑deck assemblies for rooftop projects.

Low-VOC stains and sealers matched to the material; color selections that perform well in Texas UV.
