If you’re looking for a deck builder in Tarrytown, Austin, the trees are probably part of why you live here. The neighborhood sits roughly between MoPac and Lake Austin, from Enfield Road up to 35th Street, and grew out of the old Woodlawn estate, with its first phase opening in 1934. Decades of growth mean big canopies and deep roots, and a deck has to work around both. Book a Tarrytown deck visit and we’ll start with the yard as it is.
We’re a veteran-owned deck company, building across Austin since 2008. Every project starts with a written, photo-documented inspection, so you know what the site and any existing deck need before we talk about design.
When large trees are nearby, our crew doesn’t treat the first footing layout as final. Root locations, tree protection and existing landscaping can all move where posts belong, and the framing plan shifts with them. The City of Austin regulates trees 19 inches in diameter and larger on residential property and limits disturbance inside their critical root zones, as its Trees on Residential Property guidance explains. When a project needs a building permit, the tree review is usually part of that application.
We look at how the house, the existing patio, the yard’s elevation and the paths people use all relate before we draw anything. A deck needs to work with the property as it is, not just look good in a drawing. That’s why we show you 3D renderings of the plan first, so the layout, steps and railings are settled against your own house.
Many Tarrytown decks have been repaired, extended or reworked over the years. On those, our crew starts with how the deck is attached to the house, checking the ledger and its flashing, then the joists, posts and footings, especially where earlier changes altered the original build. That tells us whether repair is a sensible option or whether the deck needs more.
New decks start with a site walk and a design you can see before anything’s ordered. Here’s how our 3D deck design process works. For existing decks, we begin with an inspection of the existing deck and a written report with photos.
When the structure is sound but tired, targeted older deck repairs often make more sense than a rebuild. If you want shade, we can plan a pergola over part of the deck with the same attention to tree roots and post placement.
We build in natural cedar decks and in Trex and TimberTech composite, with Fiberon available on request. Our low-upkeep composite boards work well under heavy canopy, where leaves and shade keep wood damp longer.
We’re fully insured, permits are coordinated through trusted partners, and every finished project carries a 1-year workmanship warranty. With more than 200 completed deck projects since 2008, we explain what we find in plain language and tell you when repair makes more sense than replacement. You can read Ace’s Google reviews to see how that plays out.
We work throughout Tarrytown, from the blocks near Exposition Boulevard to the streets closer to Lake Austin, and in nearby Pemberton Heights, Bryker Woods, Old West Austin and Clarksville. Tarrytown is one of the Central Austin neighborhoods covered by our deck work across Austin.
Call (512) 566-7519 to book a visit. Most inspections are scheduled within the same week, and you’ll get written findings, photos and a clear recommendation before any quote. We’re open Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM, and Saturday, 9 AM to 4 PM.

Usually, yes. We plan footing locations around root zones, tree protection and existing landscaping, and we don’t treat the first layout as final when large trees are close. Sometimes that means shifting posts, changing the deck’s shape or spanning farther between supports. We’ll show you the plan in 3D so you can see how the deck sits with the trees.
It depends on the trees near the work. The City of Austin regulates trees 19 inches in diameter and larger on residential property and limits disturbance inside their critical root zones. When a project needs a building permit, the tree review is usually part of that application. We check trees near the planned footings first and coordinate permits through trusted permit partners.
Yes. We create 3D renderings and detailed plans so you can see the layout, steps, railings and materials against your own house before anything is ordered. We look at how the house, patio, yard elevation and walking paths relate first, so the design fits the property as it is rather than a generic template.
Yes. Many Tarrytown decks have been repaired or extended over the years, so we start with how the deck attaches to the house and check the ledger, flashing, joists, posts and footings. If the structure is sound, targeted repairs often make sense. If it isn’t, we’ll show you the photos and explain the options before any work is scheduled.
Many homeowners choose cedar for a natural look that suits older homes, while others prefer composite for lower upkeep, especially under heavy tree cover where leaves and shade keep wood damp. We install Trex and TimberTech composite, Fiberon on request, plus cedar and pressure-treated pine. We’ll talk through look and upkeep before you decide.
Yes. We build wood and aluminum pergolas, freestanding or attached, with optional shade covers. On tree-lined lots, we plan pergola posts with the same care as deck footings, around root zones and existing planting. If the pergola attaches to an existing deck, we check first whether the framing and supports can carry the added load.
