Custom Deck & Railing Installation

Your deck is more than just an extension of your home. It's the foundation of your outdoor living experience. Whether you're looking for a large multi-level deck for entertaining or a private backyard retreat, we tailor each design to your lifestyle, your space, and your vision.
We offer both premium pressure-treated lumber and low-maintenance composite decking options like Deckorators® and Trex® brands. Wood offers a natural warmth and classic aesthetic, while composite materials provide long-term durability, fade resistance, and minimal upkeep—perfect for those who want beauty without the maintenance.
Railings are not just a safety feature—they're a key design element. Choose from traditional wood railings, sleek cable systems, or powder-coated aluminum for a clean, modern finish. We’ll help you select materials and styles that match your home’s architecture and your personal taste.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Deck & Railing Installation
At The Deck Company, we understand that creating an outdoor living area that fits your lifestyle, design preferences, and budget isn't a one size fits all scenario. Here, we address some common questions about our deck installation services.
Can you match the deck to my home’s style and materials?
Definitely! We take time to understand your home’s architecture and your design preferences so we can match finishes, tones, and structural styles for a seamless, integrated look. We will always go over your finalized choices with you before building begins to ensure all details of the construction align with your vision.
Which is better, a wood or composite deck?
Depends on what you're looking for!
There are many factors to consider when choosing the right decking material for your home, including long term durability, ongoing maintenance required, visual aesthetic, and price. Usually for central Texas homeowners, a composite deck will be more durable with less maintenance long term, while a pressure treated wood deck or natural cedar or redwood deck may come with a rustic charm and generally lower price tag. If you're interested in reading further into the pros and cons of each material, check out our blog post that discusses this topic in greater detail.
Can I add extra features like lighting, pergolas, or built-in seating at a later time?
Yes! Many clients add features over time. If it is likely you will want to add extra features after your initial deck construction is complete, do let us know before the deck installation so we can consider those future plans during the designing and building stage of the deck. This will allow us to create the best plan of action to maximize construction efficiency and ensure your additional projects can later be added seamlessly and affordably. But as a general rule, we put effort into designing our decks in a way that naturally ensures flexibility for future features- just in case!
Do I need a permit for a new deck in Waco or the surrounding areas?
Yes, in most cases, a permit is required. We will undertake the entire permitting process other than any required actions from you, which we will ensure you are aware of, to ensure your project complies with local building codes and passes all necessary inspections, so you can start enjoying your deck sooner and without any unnecessary hassle.
How long does the deck building process take?
This depends on the size and complexity of the build. As a general rule, smaller projects typically take between 1-2 weeks from design to completion and larger projects between 2–5 weeks from design to completion. Weather, permitting, and material availability can affect timelines, but we always keep you informed along the way.
How much does it cost to build a custom deck in Waco?
The cost of a custom deck varies depending on size, materials, elevation, and added features. In general, pressure-treated wood decks range from $25–$35 per square foot, while composite decks range from $45–$65 per square foot. We provide detailed, itemized estimates after a free on-site consultation.
In order to make the best use of our time and efforts, The Deck Company has a minimum baseline cost of $2000 for any deck installation job that we undertake, so expect your investment to start at least in that range and higher depending on the size of the deck and specifics of the project.
Do your decks come with any kind of warranty?
Yes, we stand behind our work, and offer a 5 year workmanship warranty on every deck we build, plus up to a 25 year manufacturer's warranty on our composite decks built with select brands.
