Custom Decks & Elevated Balconies in San Antonio
Expand your living space outdoors with master-built composite and natural hardwood decks. Built for Texas weather by founder Robert Thompson (35+ years of structural experience).
Decking Materials & Design Options
Your choice of decking materials is essential for your deck's design and long-term cost and should be discussed with your builder. Wood decks have been popular recently because they often look beautiful and complement your home well. Cedar is an excellent choice if you want a natural-looking finish that will last a long time. We offer Ipe, Tigerwood, Cedar, and Treated Pine.
With composite and PVC materials, you can get all of this classic elegance with way less maintenance hassle...which also means you save more money on upkeep! But what's even better? Both varieties come in many colors, so picking one is easy! We carry all lines of TREX, TimberTech, and AZEK.

Custom Decks FAQs
What is the lifespan of a composite deck versus a wood deck in Texas?
Quality composite decks (like Trex or TimberTech) can last 25 to 30+ years with minimal maintenance and no splintering or fading. Natural wood decks typically last 15 to 20 years when properly stained and sealed every 2 to 3 years.
Do I need a permit to build a custom deck in San Antonio?
Yes, most elevated decks or decks attached to a residence in San Antonio and surrounding counties require building permits. JRM Construction handles all engineering specifications, permits, and HOA documentation for you.
Can you build a multi-level deck on a steep slope?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep concrete footings and heavy steel/timber posts engineered for steep slopes in the Texas Hill Country.
