5 Best Deck Builders in Houston (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Brad Smith, Home Services Expert · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 7 min read

Houston's climate is brutal on a deck: humidity, heat, and heavy rain all shorten the life of the wrong build, which is why several deck builders in Houston lean hard on composite and Trex materials. Houston Deck and Shade has logged 147 reviews at 4.9 stars, and every builder here clears 4.7, so the real decision comes down to project scale, from a small repair to a full custom outdoor living space.

Short answer: Houston Deck and Shade leads with 4.9 stars across 147 reviews, the deepest track record of any deck builder in Houston on this page. Mario's Pool and Deck Company and The Deck & Patio Company hold strong ratings for pool-adjacent decking. Composite deck builds here commonly run into the thousands of dollars depending on size, so get a written quote for your specific project.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data as of the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is the builder’s live Google star average. Review volume measures how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Houston deck builders. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 built on over a hundred reviews carries more weight than a 4.9 built on a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a deck cost in Houston? (2026)

Deck costs in Houston vary widely by material, size, and whether the project includes extras like screening, lighting, or an outdoor kitchen. None of the builders on this page publish a fixed public rate card we can cite here, and pricing is typically quoted after an on-site consultation. Composite and Trex decking cost more upfront than wood but require less long-term maintenance in Houston’s humidity. Get a detailed written quote from at least two builders before committing.

Will you handle HOA or city permit approvals, or is that on me?
What’s the expected timeline from signed contract to completion?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these Houston deck builders?

We started from deck builders in Houston with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Should I choose composite or wood decking in Houston?

Composite materials like Trex generally hold up better against Houston’s heat and humidity with less ongoing maintenance, though they cost more upfront than wood. Ask each builder for their specific recommendation for your project.

Which of these builders specializes in pool decking?

Mario’s Pool and Deck Company and The Deck & Patio Company both have strong track records specifically combining pool installation with deck work.

The bottom line

Houston Deck and Shade is the safe default given its review depth and rating, spanning both backyard decks and larger commercial projects. For a pool-focused build, Mario’s Pool and Deck Company is the faster, more specialized option. Get every quote in writing before work begins.
