Deck Construction in DFW
Integrity Construction LLC builds new decks for homes across DFW, from ground-level backyard platforms to elevated and multi-level structures. If your yard has unused space, an aging structure that is past repair, or a back door that opens onto nothing but grass, deck construction gives you a usable outdoor room with a proper foundation, frame, and finished surface. Call (214) 769-7774 or request a free estimate to talk through your project. You can also see deck projects we have completed.
What Our Deck Construction Service Includes
Building a deck is a structural project before it is a finish project, and most of the work that determines how long the deck lasts happens before the first board goes down. Our deck construction service covers the full build: site assessment and layout, ground preparation, footings, post and beam framing, joist installation, decking installation, stairs, railings, and final finishing and cleanup. We confirm how the deck will attach to the house or whether a freestanding structure is the better approach, set the framing for the span and load your layout calls for, and finish the surface so edges, fasteners, and transitions are clean. Related concrete work such as footings, pads, or steps is handled by the same company, which keeps one team accountable for the parts of the job that touch each other.
Deck Types We Build for DFW Homes
Every yard sets its own constraints, so the structure follows the site rather than a catalog. Ground-level decks suit flat lots and work well where you want an open connection between the house and the yard without steps. Raised and elevated decks are common on homes with a back door well above grade, and they need proper post spacing, bracing, and stair geometry to feel solid underfoot. Multi-level decks break a sloped yard into usable zones, for example a dining level near the kitchen door and a lower lounge level. Wraparound and side-yard decks make use of narrow spaces that otherwise go unused. Covered and partially shaded builds are worth planning for from the start, because posts and framing have to be sized for the added load rather than retrofitted later. If your project centers on the area around a swimming pool, that work belongs with our pool deck installation service.
Decking Materials and Finish Decisions
Material choice affects maintenance, surface temperature, appearance, and cost, and it is a decision worth making with the structure in mind. Wood decking gives you a traditional look and can be stained or refinished over time, and it responds well to periodic maintenance. Composite decking installation suits homeowners who would rather not sand and reseal, and we install composite systems as their own dedicated service. Railing style, stair treads, board direction, picture framing, and fastener type all get settled before the build starts so the finished surface looks deliberate instead of assembled. We walk through the options available for your budget and layout during the estimate rather than deciding for you.
New Deck Construction or Deck Repair
Not every tired deck needs replacing. If the framing and posts are sound and the problems are limited to surface boards, loose fasteners, or a worn finish, deck repair and restoration is usually the better use of your money. New construction makes more sense when the structure itself is the problem: soft or rotting joists and posts, footings that have shifted, a deck that moves or sways when you walk across it, framing that was undersized for the span, or a layout that simply does not fit how you use the yard now. If the deck was built without proper ledger attachment or flashing where it meets the house, rebuilding is often the only way to solve it properly. Where a raised structure is not actually necessary, a paver patio can be the more practical ground-level alternative. We assess the existing structure first and tell you which category your project falls into.
Building for DFW Conditions
North Texas conditions are hard on outdoor structures, and they shape how a deck should be built. The expansive clay soils across much of the DFW area swell and shrink with moisture, which is why footing depth, drainage away from posts, and the connection between a deck and the house all matter more here than in regions with stable soil. Long stretches of intense summer sun and high UV exposure fade finishes and heat up surfaces, so material choice and shade planning are practical decisions rather than cosmetic ones. Hail and high winds during spring storms can damage boards, railings, and any covered structure above the deck. Winter freeze events, though short, drive moisture into unsealed wood and open joints. We plan preparation, drainage, fastening, and finishing with those cycles in mind so the deck holds up through them.
Our Deck Construction Process
We start with a conversation about how you want to use the space, then visit the property to look at grade, access, drainage, the door threshold height, and where the deck can reasonably sit. From there we develop the layout and size, and if the project calls for a more involved plan we move it into custom deck design. Once the layout, materials, and scope are agreed, you receive an estimate covering the work involved. On approval we schedule the build, prepare the site and set footings, frame the structure, install decking, stairs, and railings, then finish the surface and clear the work area. We walk the completed deck with you at the end so you can see what was done and how to maintain it.

Our customer reviews and project gallery reflect the work we have actually completed for local property owners.
Deck Construction FAQs
Timelines depend on size, height, complexity, and material availability. A straightforward ground-level deck moves considerably faster than an elevated multi-level structure with custom railings and stairs. We give you an expected schedule with your estimate once we have seen the site and settled the scope.
Deck projects in Dallas are commonly subject to permitting and inspection depending on height, size, and whether the structure attaches to the house. Requirements also differ if you are in an HOA. We discuss what your specific project involves during the estimate so nothing surprises you mid-build.
Yes. Sloped lots are usually handled with raised or multi-level construction, with post heights and footings set to the grade. We assess the slope and drainage during the site visit and design the structure around it.
Both work here, and the right answer depends on how much maintenance you want to take on. Wood costs less up front and can be refinished, but it needs regular sealing to handle Texas sun and moisture swings. Composite costs more initially and asks far less of you afterward. We go through the trade-offs for your specific build.
In many cases yes, though it depends on the condition and elevation of the existing surface. We look at the slab and the door height before recommending whether to build over it, tie into it, or work around it.
Yes. If the structure is sound, deck repair and restoration is often the more sensible option, and we handle both individual repairs and larger restoration work.
Yes. Contact us with your address and a description of the project and we will arrange a site visit and provide a free estimate.
