Houston Composite Deck Builders, Trex and Capped Board
Composite boards cost more than timber and give the time back: no splinters, no annual stain, and a colour that holds through Houston sun. They also move differently to wood, so the joist centres, gapping, and fastening have to be set for the product.
What’s included in the work.
Every project has the same core scope, adapted to the specific property and program.
- 01
Frame Preparation
A new frame built, or an existing one assessed and re-spaced, to the joist centres the board profile requires.
- 02
Board Selection
Colour, grain, and capped composite line chosen, with the run direction and the seams laid out deliberately.
- 03
Hidden Fastening
Clip systems and gapping set so the boards move with the heat without cupping or squeaking.
- 04
Fascia & Borders
Matching fascia, picture-frame borders, and stair nosing so no cut end is left showing.
- 05
Railings & Steps
Composite, aluminum, or cable railings and stair treads finished to the same standard as the deck field.
- 06
Drainage & Under-Deck
Falls, ventilation, and under-deck drainage where the space below has to stay dry and usable.
Everything you see.
Everything you don’t.
What separates a landscape that lasts from one that fails in two summers is the work you never see — grade, drainage, soil preparation, and compacted base. On Houston clay, that is most of the job.
And what you do see — the joint lines, the bed edges, the level of a terrace against the house — we hold to the same standard.
Roughly what it costs.
The range below is what work of this kind typically runs in Houston, so you can place yourself in it before you call. It is a starting point, not a quote — every project is scoped to the specific property, program, and material selections.
We confirm a clear investment range in the initial consultation and issue a detailed proposal after the design phase.
- Deck area, and how far above grade it sits
- Composite line and board profile — capped, grained, or premium colours
- Whether a new frame is built, or an existing one re-spaced to suit
- Railings, stairs, fascia, and stair nosing
- Under-deck drainage and ventilation where the space below is used
$12,000 – $45,000
Most projects of this type
- At the lower end
- A ground-level deck in an entry-level capped composite on a new frame, with matching fascia.
- At the upper end
- A large raised deck in a premium board, with picture-frame borders, cable or aluminum railings, stairs, and under-deck drainage.
A range, not a quote. Your figure depends on square footage, materials, how much grading and drainage the site needs, and equipment access.
Work that goes with this.
Most projects combine several of these, and doing them together costs less than doing them one at a time.
