Low-Maintenance Materials

Composite Decking Built for Alamo Heights

Composite decking has come a long way from the plastic-looking boards of a decade ago. Today's capped composite boards from Trex and TimberTech have realistic wood grain, come in a wide range of colors, and resist fading, staining, scratching, and moisture far better than natural wood — which matters when your deck bakes in 100°F sun for months at a time.

Older homes in Alamo Heights often have additions and grade changes over the decades, so many decks here need custom framing solutions rather than a standard rectangular build to tie in cleanly with the existing house lines. When it comes to composite decking specifically, The City of Alamo Heights has its own permitting office separate from the City of San Antonio, and the Historic and Design Review Board may weigh in on projects visible from the street. We coordinate directly with the city's building department to keep the paperwork moving.

  • No annual staining or sealing required
  • 25–50 year manufacturer fade and stain warranties
  • Cooler underfoot than many wood species in direct sun
  • Resists splintering, warping, and insect damage

Alamo Heights at a Glance

Custom decks for one of San Antonio's most established neighborhoods

Alamo Heights homes tend to sit on mature, well-established lots with established oak canopy, which shapes almost every deck we design here — placement has to work around root zones and dappled shade rather than open sun.

Our Process

How Composite Decking Works in Alamo Heights

01

Material Selection

We bring physical board samples to your home so you can see color and grain pattern in your actual lighting before you commit.

02

Substructure Build

Composite decking needs correctly spaced joists and proper ventilation underneath — we frame to the manufacturer's exact specifications to protect your warranty.

03

Board Installation

Boards are installed with hidden fastener clips and manufacturer-specified gapping to allow for thermal expansion in our summer heat.

04

Trim & Warranty Registration

We finish fascia and picture-frame trim details, then register your manufacturer warranty so it's on file in your name.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

If you value your weekends, generally yes. Composite typically costs 20–40% more upfront than pressure-treated pine, but you'll never pay for staining, sanding, or board replacement over the life of the deck. Over a 15–20 year span, total cost of ownership is often comparable or lower than wood.
