Few homes would be complete without their decks. Decks increase living space for your home, essentially giving you another room in your home. It's one thing to say this to someone living up north, but installing a deck in Austin can truly become a year round home addition. No matter what you do to improve the existing areas in your home, a deck will offer entirely new options for your home, lifestyle, and daily enjoyment.
Deck Design
To get the most from your new deck, you'll need to spend some time thinking about what kind of deck will work best for your home. A large sprawling backyard deck is great for a traditional Texas BBQ. A smaller deck balcony can give you a second-story deck with a porched outdoor patio beneath the deck. While our weather makes for great outdoor living much of the year, if you want a truly year round deck, you'll probably want to think about adding outdoor patio heaters and/or an outdoor misting system.
Cost of Hiring a Deck Builder
HomeAdvisor compiles data on every single type of home improvement project we process from all around the country and in Austin. Our numbers tell us that the average cost to install a deck is around $7,500, both for Austin deck builders and around the country. This number is not always telling, though, as we see a wide range among different decking projects. You can spend as little as $2,000 on a new deck or more than $15,000. Size, materials, and design are the three big choices that most directly relate to cost. Once you begin to get estimates from different contractors, you'll have a better idea of the cost of your new deck. But make sure you're comparing apples to apples. Some deck contractors will try to listen to your vision and create a deck plan to match your dreams. Other contractors will immediately start imagining ways to cut costs, give you a lower estimate, and then, ask you later if you want to upgrade.
Project Length
A good baseline to estimate the project length of an Austin deck installation is about two weeks. Smaller projects can be done under a week. Larger projects or projects that involve mid-construction modifications may take a month or longer. Fortunately, outdoor construction isn't nearly as inconvenient as, say, a bathroom or kitchen remodel. On the other hand, many homeowners recommend you be on hand during the construction, and you always want a contractor who's going to be there when he or she has told you. Rather than becoming set an exact timeline, focus on finding a contractor who you feel you can trust to do the job, efficiently to give you a quality deck in a reasonable amount of time.
Deck Maintenance
Whether you're building a new deck, repairing an old one, or simply maintaining your current deck, contractors have the tools and knowledge to help increase the lifetime of your deck. While the primary danger to any deck is rain and water damage, deck maintenance in Austin also treats the deck to protect against fading from the intense and prolonged periods of sunlight many Austin decks face. At the very least, you should have your wood deck cleaned and resealed every year or two. Expect to pay around $900 for full-service clean and reseal Austin deck maintenance. One thing you might consider is talking to your Austin deck builder. They might provide future discounts for deck maintenance as part of their deck building project. If they don't provide deck sealing services, you might also ask them for a reference for future deck maintenance in Austin.
