We build custom decks for homes across Dallas-Fort Worth, from a simple platform off the back door to a multi-level deck with stairs and built-in seating. We start with a plan for your yard, help you choose the right material, and sort out the building permit your city asks for.
North Texas sits on the Blackland Prairie, where the clay soil swells when it rains and shrinks when it dries out. That movement can lift or drop a deck that was not built for it, so we set footings to carry the load and keep the frame level for years.
You can build in pressure-treated wood, cedar or low-maintenance composite. We walk you through what each one costs, how much upkeep it needs and how it holds up in the Texas sun, so you choose with the full picture in front of you.

Custom Deck Building
Custom Deck Building
Custom deck building is our main deck service. We design the deck around your yard, your door height and how you want to use the space, then build it to fit. You pick the material, pressure-treated wood, cedar or low-maintenance composite, and we explain what each one costs and how much upkeep it takes. We help you sort out the building permit your city asks for, set footings that handle North Texas clay soil, and frame the deck so it stays level through the seasons. Railings, stairs and built-in seating can all be part of the plan. When the build is done, we clean up the site and walk the finished deck with you.

Call (469) 340-2030Do I need a permit to build a deck in Irving?
Many decks do need a building permit, and the rules change from city to city. We help you sort out what Irving or your city requires before we start, and we handle the materials so you are not chasing it all yourself.
Should I build a wood or composite deck?
It comes down to budget and upkeep. Wood costs less up front and looks natural, but it needs staining every couple of years. Composite costs more at first and asks for almost no upkeep. We lay out both, with honest costs, and let you decide.
How much does it cost to build a deck?
Every deck is priced on the job. The size, the material, the railings and stairs, and the ground under it all matter, so there is no flat rate. We look at your yard and give you a free quote before any work starts.
How long does it take to build a deck?
It depends on the size of the deck, the material, and whether a permit is needed first. We give you a timeline along with your quote, so you know what to expect before we begin.
Do you build custom decks, or only standard sizes?
We build custom. The deck is designed around your yard, your door height and how you want to use the space, so it fits your home instead of a template.
Are you insured?
Yes. S&L Good Fellas is insured and family owned.
