Designing Decks That Enhance Texas Homes
The specific design and features of a deck is what makes the deck a natural extension of the home. Our designers and contractors will look at your home to help you determine the best layout, the best placement of stairs, an appropriate size based on your desires for the deck, and more.
There are various features that can be added to your deck, such as built-in benches, multiple levels, design elements like lighting and planters, and even the way the deck planks are installed to create a unique pattern. Whatever you are envisioning for your deck, we can make it a reality. If you’re unsure of what you want, we can make a variety of suggestions that will complement your home and the surrounding landscape. Ultimately, a deck should make it easy for people to access both the landscape, the home, and enjoy the amenities of the deck.
Choosing the Materials For Your Deck
The deck material that you choose will help determine your budget and the type of maintenance the deck will need; there are several materials to choose from, including pressure treated wood, composite, and vinyl/plastic boards. The cost of the material is also dependent on the overall cost of lumber at the time as well. For a more accurate estimate for your deck, get in touch with the builders at Americraft.
Pressure Treated Wood
The price for pressure treated wood ranges between $3.00 and $4.00 per square foot, or upwards of $5.00 per square foot for hardwood. Wood is a great choice for tight budgets, but there is more maintenance required to keep the wood in good condition.
Composite
Composite materials can range from $7.00 to $10.00 per square foot. The material is a mixture of wood fibers and plastics that won’t shrink or expand due to humidity. Even though the cost is higher, the amount of maintenance required is much less than hardwood.
Vinyl/Plastic
This material can cost between $4.25 and $8.50 per square foot. Though there is very little maintenance, vinyl/plastic decks are more likely to be damaged by extreme heat, so it may not be the best option for the Texas climate.
