Decks By Design

Always love the night shots! These Smart Scopes are killer! Dimmable and individually or group adjustable. Coming soon.... An epic privacy screen setup that will start to the left of the fireplace and work its way around to the opposite corner of the half wall. This won't be your run of the mill "in stock" setup either 👀 😎

We're getting there. 2900sqft complete and about to start framing the next 3000. The finished photos are gonna be epic 😎

Big things happening... LVLs carrying the load and seamless integration making this patio cover look like it was built with the house. 😎

Everybody loves that 😍

Fresh install of decking and decided to take that breaker board right through the steps. Also love doing flush fascia with horizontal skirting bc seeing it all line up really makes the OCD fire on cylinders 😎

Plus I think it just hits harder now that we put the work in and EARNED Decorators Certified Elite status 🤘

No caption needed....

This is .
8900sqft of decking for a neighborhood amenity center. This is project 1 of 3 over the next 3 years.

Currently have about 3000 sqft framed up and ready for t&g custom ordered decking starting next week. As the project goes vertical we will begin to fill in the rest of the decks and boardwalks

Sorry I added a caption 🤣

Sweet "little" 550sqft deck over a fresh concrete patio pour. We used the MBC sleepers topped with for the main portion and for the breakers and perimeter picture frame. The color combo turned out sweet! Stay tuned ... We have some EPIC news for an EPIC upcoming project that is just about to start 👀🤯

The. Biggest. Project. Yet. And the sqft starts with an 8... And it isn't 800 😎

Down and dirty quick little freestanding open gable patio cover project.

The aftermath and that epic view is insane 🤩

Whew... Just checked the van and we DID bring the metal blades for the planer to flatten these steel joists 👀🤪

Kidding obviously. But this project is epic. About to throw down some decking using drillers to match the existing deck we finished last year 😎

Always installing with roof mounted pergolas. Since we own a roofing company as well.... We are always thinking ahead. It paid off this time because Unicorn Roofing is about to replace this roof due to hail damage 🤘

When customers send you night shots along with a note

"Your work rocks Chris! Hope you are well."

How's your job start going today? Ours is .... Interesting. Somebody forgot to shower this morning 🤣

The small details matter. Period.

Happy holidays everyone! 🤘😎🎄🎁

Honored to be part of the "pack". Let's keep grinding! Here's to keeping the PLATINUM installations rolling 🤘

Out with the old and in with the new. Removed a 15yr old pressure treated deck and did a little upgrade 🤘

2000sqft finished and ready for many church gatherings yet to come. deck with picture frame, fascia, and risers. Fe26 railing finishes off the extreme transformation perfectly.

Every now and then we squeeze in a quickie 😂

6x12 extension off the concrete patio over and area that wouldn't grow grass and had a terrible grade. 4 hours annnnd done!

SWAG DROP!

Shout out to Ethan for the killer swag and the support 🤘

Simple yet effective ambient lighting on the rail posts is all you need sometimes. Low voltage lighting can be tricky. If you use too many it won't be relaxing. Too little and you'll have to use your cell phone light to see anything. This upper balcony turned out perfectly but the house across the river.... Maybe a good example of a few too many lights 🤷‍♂️

Thoughts?

More project pics to follow once it is stained.

Timbertech upper deck with borders. Timbertech IRX railing with 4" cocktail board.
Custom EPDM bladder system to catch the rain and keep the tongue groove ceiling and patio down below nice and dry 😎

Every now and then we do cool things 😎

Deckorators Sedona installed with Camo edge hidden fasteners and a nice little screened porch using ScreenEze and a sweet Larson Brisa retractable double screen door. Sneaky side note.... Don't tell...... We use Trex charcoal black post sleeves for ALL bench posts on ALL our decks. No matter the board company bc the matte charcoal looks great with everything and Trex is the only one to offer it 🤷‍♂️

Working on a new tattoo design. Getting pretty close. Deleting the "impact marks" around the edges.... But this speaks to me. Republic of Texas, Dallas Cowboys Star, and the Texas Flag 🤘

Thoughts? I mean there isn't a deck board or handrail in it ...butttttttt I can only go so far in my decking dedication 😂

Bladder in. Drainage flutes at the band installed. Last step is joist tape to cover the staples and we are ready for gutters and decking 🤩.

Somebody is about to get a custom cut under deck bladder system installed for nice rain protected lounging under the deck 😎

Sneak peek! Love the night shots!

This picture says it all 😍

There really are no words aside from ... "Was that part of the original house or did you add it later?"

That's the goal... Seamless integration so people say "WOW! Who did this?"

We did this.... We are Decks By Design.

DEMO DAY

Tearing out this "beauty" and replacing with 1250sqft of secured with and on framing protected with joist tape. Plus a 600 sqft cedar gable patio cover with can lights and of course scattered around to light up the night 😍

The view is AWESOME but check out that framing detail... 4x4s on every other joist and staggered throughout 🤣

Debate settled ... Boss wins 🤣

It turned out perfectly and exactly how we envisioned it. Low lit rail sections and a walkway that doesn't look like a runway. The added bonus is the low light projected to the tree canopies but hard to capture or see in this pic.

Love it when customers send us night shots bc it gets kinda weird if I'm creeping around the deck project after dark 😂🤪🤣
