CUSTOM WOOD DECKS IN SAN ANTONIO, TX
Cedar, pressure-treated pine, tropical hardwoods, and reclaimed wood — built to the standard the Texas climate demands.
Wood decks remain the most popular choice in San Antonio for good reasons: the natural warmth of real wood works with the Hill Country aesthetic, design flexibility is unmatched, and the upfront cost is typically lower than composite. A well-built cedar or hardwood deck is a legitimate long-term investment in your property when the right material is selected for your specific conditions and the maintenance schedule is followed.
WOOD SPECIES WE BUILD WITH
Honest differences between each option for San Antonio conditions.
Pressure-Treated Pine
The most affordable option; chemically treated to resist rot and termites. In San Antonio's climate, requires annual sealing and periodic board replacement on high-exposure sections. Best for straightforward rectangular builds and budget-conscious projects. Expect to reseal every 12–18 months and plan for partial board replacement around year 10.
Western Red Cedar
Naturally rot-resistant, lighter weight, and visually warmer than pine. Cedar is the preferred choice for projects where the wood's appearance matters — raised decks visible from inside the home, wrap-around porches, and decks adjacent to natural stone or brick. Requires sealing every 1–2 years in San Antonio's sun. Costs 20–35% more than pressure-treated pine.
Tropical Hardwoods (Ipe, Tigerwood, Garapa)
The most durable wood option. Ipe in particular is nearly impervious to rot, insects, and weather and can last 40+ years with minimal maintenance. The density that makes it durable also makes it harder to work with — installation requires specialized tooling and fasteners. Pricing reflects the material quality. Best suited for homeowners with a longer investment horizon.
Reclaimed Wood
For homeowners who want a specific aesthetic or the environmental benefit of reclaimed material. Species and quality vary; we assess and grade all reclaimed material before accepting it for a build. Reclaimed wood can have unique character marks and color variation that new wood doesn't offer. Sourcing lead times can extend project timelines.
WHAT WE CAN BUILD
WOOD DECK CARE IN SAN ANTONIO
Annual cleaning
Power wash or hand-scrub to remove mold, mildew, and UV-darkened oxidation before resealing.
Sealing schedule
Follow the species-specific timeline. Skipping a season in San Antonio's sun accelerates surface cracking.
Hardware inspection
Check fasteners, post bases, and ledger connection annually. Rust and loosening are easier to address early.
Board replacement
Replace individual boards showing rot before it spreads to joists. Early replacement is 1/10th the cost of structural repair.
