Central Texas summers are made for being outside. The evenings cool down just enough, the backyards are spacious, and if you have a deck worth spending time on, you use it. That’s the whole idea. At Apex Deck Builders, we’ve spent over 15 years helping families across Cedar Park, Georgetown, Round Rock, Austin, and Lakeway build the outdoor spaces their homes were missing. More than 1,500 completed projects, every one of them built like it matters.

Every project starts with custom deck design built around how you actually use outdoor space: weekend cookouts with the neighbors, quiet mornings with coffee, or a dedicated place for the kids to be outside after school. The layout, the materials, and the details should reflect your life, not a standard template.
We handle deck installation from the ground up, in both wood and composite, tailored to your yard and your lifestyle.
For homeowners who want low-maintenance and long-lasting, we do composite deck installation using Trex, TimberTech, and Fiberon. For homeowners who want the warmth and character of natural wood, we do wood deck installation in cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated pine. Both hold up in Central Texas when installed correctly. The difference is in how much upkeep you want to do over time.
When your existing deck needs attention, we do honest deck repair and deck replacement. We’ll tell you exactly what’s worth saving and what isn’t, and we’ll stand behind that assessment.
Beyond the deck itself, we build pergola construction and patio cover installation that extend your outdoor season well past summer.
For full backyard transformations, our outdoor living spaces service brings decks, shade structures, seating, and lighting together in one cohesive design. We finish every project with railing installation done right: cable rail, aluminum balusters, glass panels, or wood railings, all installed to code and built to last.
Cedar and pressure-treated pine have a place in Texas backyards that no manufactured product has fully replaced. They age naturally, they look right on almost any home, and they give a deck its character. Both need periodic deck staining and sealing to perform well over time, which our crew handles as part of a new build or as a standalone service.
Composite is the low-maintenance answer for busy families and HOA communities. Trex, TimberTech, and Fiberon boards don’t splinter, don’t need an annual refinish, and hold their color through the kind of summer heat that fades unprotected wood. For homeowners in master-planned communities who want something that looks sharp with minimal effort, composite is usually the right call.
Not sure which direction to go? We walk through both options during your free estimate and help you decide based on your yard, your budget, and your HOA requirements, not on what’s easiest for us to build.
Anyone can build a deck. Building one that holds up in Central Texas takes a different approach. The expansive clay soil in this region swells with moisture and contracts in dry heat. A foundation that doesn’t account for that will show it within a few years. We start every project with proper concrete footing depth, soil assessment, and framing designed to flex with the ground conditions rather than resist them.
We’re veteran-owned and fully insured. Every crew member on your property is part of our team. We don’t subcontract. Permits get coordinated through our third-party permit partners from the start. We stay on the job through final walkthrough, and we don’t close out until you’re satisfied with every detail.
We keep our crews close to home. Each service area has its own local team that knows the codes, the HOA boards, and the neighborhoods.
In Cedar Park, we build in Avery Ranch, Twin Creeks, and Buttercup Creek, communities where HOA design standards are real and composite decks have become the popular choice for their low maintenance and clean look.
In Georgetown, we work across Sun City, Georgetown Village, Wolf Ranch, and north Williamson County, serving everyone from active 55+ homeowners at Sun City who want low-maintenance builds to established-neighborhood homeowners who want classic cedar that fits the character of their property.
Round Rock families in Teravista, Forest Creek, and Paloma Lake trust us to build decks that stand up to expansive clay soil conditions and pass HOA review without a fight.
In Austin, we’ve built across Mueller, Barton Hills, Circle C Ranch, and neighborhoods throughout the metro, from compact urban backyards to expansive multi-level entertaining spaces.
And in Lakeway, we design outdoor living spaces built for the Lake Travis lifestyle, where the views are part of the build and the deck is the best seat in the house.
We serve Cedar Park, Georgetown, Round Rock, Austin, and Lakeway, along with Leander, Bee Cave, West Lake Hills, Pflugerville, Hutto, and surrounding communities throughout the region. Each of our five service areas has a dedicated location page with neighborhood-specific details.
Most deck builds require one. Requirements vary by city and county, but attached decks, elevated structures, and anything above a certain square footage almost always trigger a permit. Our team coordinates everything through our third-party permit partners, so you don't have to navigate city offices on your own.
Most residential projects run one to three weeks. Pergolas, multi-level builds, and full outdoor living spaces take longer. We work permit timelines into the schedule from day one so they don't show up as surprises mid-project.
Both perform well here when installed correctly. Composite handles the heat with less annual upkeep. Wood gives you a natural look at lower entry cost. We walk through the tradeoffs at your free estimate and let you make the call that fits your yard, your HOA, and your lifestyle.
Yes, and often. We know the review process across all five of our service areas, understand what most HOA design committees require before approving a deck or pergola, and build every project to meet those standards without compromising quality.
