Rooftop decks unlock livable square footage without expanding your footprint—sunset dining in Zilker, skyline views in Mueller, breezy mornings in Tarrytown. But roofs are unforgiving. We plan for waterproofing continuity, structural loads, wind uplift, heat, and safe access from day one. The result: a quiet, solid deck that looks custom and behaves like part of the building.

Typical Ranges (Austin residential)
Rooftop assemblies vary more than ground decks. Expect pricing to reflect access logistics, engineering, rail system, and chosen materials. We offer at least two options so you can balance upfront costs versus maintenance.
Design, engineering/permits often take several weeks; on-site installation commonly runs 2–4 weeks, depending on access, weather, and inspections. A calendarized schedule is provided before mobilization.
Rooftop decks are one of the most creative ways to expand living space in Austin, offering incredible views and a private retreat above the city. At Ace Deck Builders, we’ve completed rooftop projects that maximize square footage while balancing safety, style, and long-term durability. These elevated decks require careful planning and structural expertise; our team works closely with homeowners to design layouts that are both practical and inviting.
Every rooftop project begins with a strong foundation—reinforced framing, weather-resistant materials, and innovative drainage solutions. From there, we customize the space with features like built-in seating, shade elements, or accent lighting, creating an outdoor area that feels like a true extension of the home. The result is a one-of-a-kind deck built to handle Austin’s climate while elevating the way you enjoy your property.
To see how rooftop decks can transform unused space into stunning retreats, explore our image gallery for inspiration and examples of our recent work.
Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Lakeway, Leander, Georgetown, and nearby neighborhoods (Zilker, Mueller, Circle C, Steiner Ranch, Allandale, Tarrytown, Travis Heights, Brushy Creek).
Only with approved details where structurally required. Most surfaces float on pedestals or sleepers with protection layers; rails connect at engineered points that preserve the warranty.
We plan systems that comply with manufacturer requirements and coordinate with your roofer when needed. Documentation is included in your handoff packet.
We favor lighter colors, airflow, and shade to reduce temperatures. We’ll display sample boards to show you the comfort underfoot.
We preserve the roof slope, keep scuppers unobstructed, and incorporate movement joints and borders that channel water without pooling.
Yes, in most cases. We prepare and manage City of Austin submittals and inspections for structural, guard, and electrical elements.
Let’s design a rooftop deck that feels like a natural extension of your home—engineered, waterproof, and beautiful. Book a site visit for a written scope with priced options and a calendarized build plan.
