Build the Deck Your Family Will Use

Custom deck construction built for outdoor living in Splendora

You want a deck that holds up to everything East Texas throws at it—heat, rain, humidity, and years of family use. Dude's Construction builds custom decks in Splendora with proven craftsmanship, handling everything from demolition and framing to final finishing work. If your current deck is sagging, splintering, or no longer safe, or if you're starting from scratch, this is the kind of work that changes how you use your backyard.

The process begins with removing any old materials if needed, then moving through structural framing that anchors securely to your home. Boards are fastened with attention to spacing, alignment, and drainage, and the final surface is sealed or stained to protect against moisture and UV exposure. The result is a stable structure built to hold outdoor furniture, grills, and years of foot traffic without warping or weakening.

What to Expect When You Book

When you schedule deck construction in Splendora, the first step involves evaluating your property, reviewing your design goals, and confirming the layout and materials that fit your needs. Framing goes up first, with joists, beams, and posts placed according to load requirements and building standards. Once the frame is secure, decking boards are installed with fasteners selected for long-term hold and minimal surface damage.

Once the deck is finished, you'll see clean edges, even spacing between boards, and a surface that feels solid underfoot. The owner of Dude's Construction is known for standing by his work and following through on every detail. This kind of build is designed for durability, not just appearance.

The final stage includes applying a protective finish that resists moisture and sun exposure. This step helps prevent cracking, fading, and rot over time. You'll also receive guidance on how to maintain the deck between professional services. The work does not include landscaping, outdoor lighting installation, or permanent shade structures unless those are added to the project scope beforehand.

How Our Process Works

Homeowners planning a deck build often have questions about timing, material choices, and how the structure will hold up in local conditions. Here are the answers that help guide decisions before the project starts.

What type of wood is best for decks in East Texas?
Pressure-treated lumber is the most common choice because it resists rot and insect damage in humid climates. Cedar and composite options are also available depending on your budget and maintenance preferences.
How long does it take to build a deck?
Most standard decks in Splendora take between three and seven days to complete, depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions. Larger projects with custom features or site prep may take longer.
What happens if my yard is uneven?
Uneven terrain is handled through adjustments in post height and footings. The frame is leveled during installation so the finished deck sits flat and stable regardless of slope.
Why does the deck need to be sealed or stained?
Sealing or staining protects the wood from moisture absorption, UV damage, and surface cracking. Without it, the boards can warp, splinter, or rot much faster in this climate.
What should I do to maintain my deck after it's built?
You should sweep debris regularly, clean spills promptly, and reapply sealant or stain every two to three years. Pressure washing can also help remove dirt and mildew buildup without damaging the wood.

A well-built deck becomes part of your daily routine, whether you're grilling on weekends or sitting outside in the evening. If you're ready to move forward with a deck that's built to last in Splendora, contact us to go over your design and timeline.
