Custom wood and composite decks that expand your living space.
San Marcos sits on spring-fed river bottom and thin upland soils that drain fast, but expand and contract with each Texas season. A deck here isn't just an extension of your home-it's a way to claim usable outdoor space on land that demands respect and proper engineering. Whether you're on a Willow Creek property backing up to water, a Kissing Tree active-adult home, or a rental-friendly Blanco Gardens plot, you need decking built to handle moisture, seasonal shifts, and the specific load demands of your lot.
Corral Bros builds decks that stand up to what San Marcos throws at them. We start on the ground itself, setting footings deep enough to handle your soil type and frost line. We listen to how you live-morning coffee, evening gatherings, river breezes-and design accordingly. Custom wood or composite, full railing code compliance, steps that won't heave, and finishes that weather the wet season and dry spells without splitting or failing.
Call us at 737-404-9343 for a free site visit and estimate. We'll read your yard, talk through your vision, and show you exactly what a proper San Marcos deck costs and takes. Most estimates happen within 48 hours.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your San Marcos property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and decks that holds up to Hays 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.
We set footings below the frost line and away from standing water patterns-critical here. If you're on riverland or near that seasonal seep, we design drainage and pitch to keep water moving away from your substructure. Composite decking works well in wet zones; wood needs proper ventilation underneath. We assess your specific lot before recommending materials.
Wood costs less upfront but requires regular staining, sealing, and repairs-especially with San Marcos humidity. Composite runs higher initially but saves you years of maintenance and holds up better to our wet seasons. Corral Bros gives you honest numbers on both at your free estimate, so you can decide what fits your property and lifestyle.
Railings, steps, and any finishing details are all part of the build. San Marcos codes require proper railing height and spacing, and steps have to handle that wet soil and variable terrain. We frame and install everything to code, so your deck is safe and passes inspection.
Timeline depends on size, soil prep, and weather-San Marcos spring rain can add days. We'll give you a realistic schedule at estimate time. Most residential decks take two to four weeks from footings to finish, assuming no surprises underground.
Add it during the build if you want it run cleanly. We can install step lights, under-rail lighting, or post caps as part of the deck framing. Way easier and safer than retrofitting, and it ties the whole look together-especially nice on Kissing Tree and Willow Creek properties where evening entertaining matters.
