Custom wood and composite decks that expand your living space.
A deck in Austin expands your living space during the seasons that actually matter. From limestone terrain west of MoPac to the black gumbo clay spreading east, your backyard demands materials and footings that handle both our freeze-thaw cycles and the occasional deluge. Corral Bros designs and builds decks that sit right on your land, not floating above the trouble it creates.
Whether you're in Zilker's established neighborhoods, Mueller's dense lots, Circle C's newer builds, or Tarrytown's older properties, the ground underneath is different. Our team knows what works where-composite decking that won't cup and warp in Austin's humidity, proper post footings below the frost line, and railings engineered to stand up to our weather.

We're a local, family-built company that treats your Austin property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and decks that holds up to Travis County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
Composite decking resists Central Texas sun, heat and moisture with very little upkeep and lasts longer, while wood costs less up front but needs regular sealing and staining. We build both and help you weigh cost against long-term maintenance for your space.
Deck cost depends on size, materials (wood vs composite), height, and features like railings, steps and lighting. We design to your budget and give a clear, itemized quote, building on proper footings and framing so the deck is safe and lasts.
Cost depends on size, material choice (pressure-treated lumber versus composite), terrain, and soil conditions. Black gumbo clay east of MoPac requires deeper, more expensive footings than limestone-based soil west of MoPac. Call us for a free on-site estimate-we'll walk the site and give you straight numbers.
Both pressure-treated wood and composite work in Austin, but for different reasons. Wood is traditional and affordable; composite resists the mold and rot that humidity accelerates here. Many Austin homeowners choose composite for low maintenance and longer lifespan, especially in areas like Mueller and Circle C where dense yards stay shaded.
Yes. City of Austin requires permits for decks over 200 square feet or elevated more than 30 inches. Corral Bros handles the permit process as part of the job. Building codes exist to make sure footings and railings don't fail-important when you're dealing with clay soil and seasonal moisture swings.
Timeframe depends on size, complexity, and site prep. Black gumbo clay or rocky limestone may slow ground work. Most residential decks take 2-4 weeks from permit to finish. Weather delays happen; Austin's spring and fall rains can push schedules. We'll give you realistic timing during your estimate.
Absolutely. Dense urban lots in Mueller, Zilker, and Tarrytown present design challenges-limited space, tree roots, tight sight lines-but that's where good design matters most. We've built decks on tight footprints that feel spacious and live. Call us to talk through your layout.
We design and install steps sized for Austin code and composite or wood railings that complement your home. Railings must meet height and spacing requirements, especially if you have kids or pets. Lighting can be integrated into stairs and posts for safety and ambiance.
