Finding a deck builder in Rollingwood means finding one who knows the city isn’t Austin. Rollingwood was developed by George B. Hatley starting in 1955 and covers well under a square mile beside Loop 360 and Bee Caves Road. It’s mostly established homes on tree-lined streets, which is exactly why the rules here are specific. Book a Rollingwood site visit and we’ll walk the yard and the rules with you.
Ace Deck Builders is a veteran-owned, fully insured deck company. Every project starts with a written, photo-documented inspection, and finished work carries our 1-year workmanship warranty.
Building permits here go through the city’s Development Services, submitted online, and the residential checklists depend on how much impervious cover a project adds, with a split at 250 square feet. A deck’s size and whether it’s covered can affect which checklist applies, so we settle that early in the design. The city’s Applying for a Building Permit page explains the process, and our trusted third-party permit partners handle the submission.
Rollingwood requires a permit for any tree trimming or removal inside city limits, and oaks can’t be trimmed from February 1 through June 30. If a limb needs clearing over the framing, our crew plans it into the schedule rather than finding out mid-build. Footings are laid out around root areas so the trees stay healthy and the deck stays stable.
The city limits construction to weekdays, 7 AM to 7 PM, and construction vehicles come and go by Rollingwood Drive at Bee Caves Road. On lots with mature landscaping, we decide where materials will be staged and how old decking comes out before work starts, so the yard you’ve built up isn’t torn up getting to the deck.
Many Rollingwood decks have been in place for years, and some were added onto later. We start with a full deck inspection, checking the ledger and flashing, joists, posts, footings and railings. If the frame is sound, targeted deck repairs usually make more sense than a rebuild.
If the structure has failed, deck replacement gives you a clean start, designed around the house as it is now. Want shade? A deck pergola can be planned with the deck so posts and footings work together.
You’ll know the plan before anyone picks up a tool. We’ll inspect the site and any existing deck, show you the design in 3D renderings and confirm which permit checklist it falls under. If a tree needs trimming, we’ll tell you whether it can happen now or has to wait until oak season ends. That way the schedule’s realistic from day one, and you’re not waiting on a permit or a tree crew halfway through the build.
We build in natural cedar decks and pressure-treated pine, plus Trex and TimberTech composite, with Fiberon on request. Shade keeps wood damp longer after rain, so wood decks here need regular cleaning, staining and sealing, while composite mainly needs the leaves cleared and an occasional wash.
We also work in neighboring West Lake Hills decks, Lost Creek, Barton Creek and Rob Roy. Rollingwood is part of our Central Texas service area.

Usually, yes. Rollingwood is its own city, so permits go through its Development Services, not Austin. Submissions are made online, and the residential checklists depend on how much impervious cover the project adds, with a split at 250 square feet. We handle permits through trusted third-party partners and plan the design with those requirements in mind from the first visit.
Rollingwood requires a permit for any tree trimming or removal in city limits, and oaks can’t be trimmed between February 1 and June 30. We plan around both. Where possible, we design the deck so limbs and roots aren’t disturbed at all, by shifting footings or changing the deck’s shape. When trimming can’t be avoided, it’s scheduled for the right season with the permit in place.
The city allows construction on weekdays from 7 AM to 7 PM, and construction vehicles must use Rollingwood Drive at Bee Caves Road to come and go. We schedule deliveries, demolition and installation inside those limits and plan material staging so our crew can work without blocking neighbors or damaging your landscaping.
It depends on the framing, not the boards. If the ledger, joists, posts and footings are sound, targeted repairs to boards, railings or stairs often give an older deck years more use. If the structure has deteriorated or was extended without proper support, replacement is usually the better choice. Our written report with photos lays out what we found and why.
It depends on the size of the deck, the permit review and, if tree work is involved, the season. Once the design is approved and permits are in place, we give you a realistic schedule that fits the city’s weekday work hours. We keep you updated as the work moves along and tell you early if anything changes.
Composite from Trex or TimberTech, with Fiberon on request, works well under heavy shade because it doesn’t need yearly staining. Leaves still need clearing from the surface and the gaps between boards. Cedar is a good choice if you prefer natural wood, but expect to clean, stain and seal it regularly, since shaded wood stays damp longer after rain.
