    The new deck on the front of the studio is my FAVORITE part of the property! The crew was so hard working, professional, friendly, and extremely talented!! True master craftsmanship! From the consultation to the clean up.... Attention to detail and correspondence all along the way. I felt valued and am BEYOND satisfied with the project. I am so happy I went with y'all! Money well spent. I get compliments on the deck daily from clients, neighbors, and other contracting crews who have worked on the studio project. Everyone raves about how unique the deck is and clients enjoy how extensive it is. Such a vibe! I would 1000% recommend! Thank you again for all your hard work and dedication to making this project such a huge success. My heart is happy.

    I highly, highly recommend this company! I was fortunate to work with Walker after firing the first contractor. Walker was prompt, knowledgeable, honest, professional and polite. He had a drawing of the project to me in a couple of days. The pricing was very fair and if there was any issue a text to Walker was all it took to have it taken care of. The work was done very quickly. The men even worked one day in a cold rain to have it finished for Christmas. I cannot tell you how happy I am with the finished project. The railing and skirting are so beautiful! My neighbors all compliment it. Thank you Austin Deck Company for a job well done!

    I have now used Austin Deck Company twice for deck work. First time nine years ago, and again this year. Both times outstanding work. Timely, meticulous detail, great cleanup, wonderful communication. Working through the design process to connect the original deck to the new deck was seamless. And the iron railing adds a distinguished touch. You can always count on a finished project that will delight you every time you see it! Completely recommend this company for any of your deck or iron railing needs.

    Abe had his work cut out for him when he tackled our deck replacement. Ours was a project had been rejected as "too complicated" by another local deck company. The project had many steps to coordinate: - Obtain permit. - Removal of the existing deck surface, including 3 layers of indoor/outdoor carpeting, along with existing railing. - Replacement of the deck underlayment and waterproofing of same. - Demo and removal of the existing metal and concrete stairs. - Addition of the new Ipe deck material and cedar facia. - Rebuilding the stairs and stair landing. - Addition of new metal and glass railings. After overcoming the usual unknowns on a project such as ours, Abe/Austin Deck Company pulled all the parts together and delivered a beautiful finished product. We've received lots of compliments on the new deck and highly recommend Austin Deck Company.

    Abe and his crew replaced a failing substandard exterior stairway to an apartment we have on top of our detached garage and added a small deck. This was more of a "utility" project to enhance existing functionality than an "architectural" project to beautify a home. This drove the practical design and budget. Abe was on time for the initial consultation, on time with bids and up front about design considerations and costs. He was also transparent about some minor glitches along the way. None of this was typical for other contractors I engaged. Most other contractors were obviously in over their heads. A few applied costs more typical of a commercial project - I needed a Honda and they were trying to sell me a BMW. I was seriously ill during the entire duration of the project and was not able to monitor progress, so I trusted Abe to deliver as promised and he and his crew exceeded my expectations. His crew are full time craftsmen, not contractors hired job to job and it shows. I was not disappointed, they did a great job and left the work area cleaner than they found it. I cannot recommend this Veteran-owned business highly enough.

    Cedar Deck 1 (pre-stain)

    We hired Austin Deck Company to replace our existing deck earlier this year and we couldn't be happier with their work. Our original deck was 20-year-old standard yellow pine and the previous owners apparently did nothing at all to preserve it. It was also split into two height levels which reduced the usable area of the surface, so we wanted the new one to all be one height. I was left with a good impression after my first meeting with Abe. Out of the four contractors we got quotes from he was the most professional and just seemed to have a lot of experience to draw from. He gave me some suggestions about the design and fleshed those thoughts out later through the design drawings he sent me. Kris, the crew lead, helpfully answered the questions I had once construction began. He and the rest of the crew were all very polite and they just did an amazing job. I planned to install deck lighting myself afterward so I asked them to pre-drill small holes in the posts during construction (to run wiring through) and they took care of that no problem. It's been about six months now and we're still completely happy with our new deck. We love the natural color variations of the western red cedar and everything feels wonderfully sturdy and secure. It's rare that I am left 100% satisfied with a company, so I wanted to make sure and leave a review for these guys. We will gladly use them for any carpentry projects like this in the future.

    Two words: exceptional experience! We went into this process very reserved, since we were almost scammed out of our money by another company. Honestly, this was not necessary when dealing with Abe Oeltjen and Austin Deck Company. We called them him out on Monday evening, for a quote. We received an excellent quote for our (~20' * 30') deck. Tuesday, we decided to go ahead and move forward, signed the contract, and asked when they could start (expecting a bit of a wait). They were waiting outside our house the next day at 07:00. Chris and his crew were 100% professional the whole time they were here. They even took a moment to fix a fence post for our neighbor, at no charge. They were fully open and honest about anything we asked, and always checked before doing anything that we might have an opinion about. They completed our giant deck in two days (writing this on Thursday). They definitely overbuilt the frame, so it is not going anywhere. I will recommend them to anyone who ever wants any deck work done. Great price, great craftsmanship, great people. 100% great experience.

Hire inspectors before paying final invoice. FYI "Custom Deck and Fence Austin" also has poor reviews on multiple sites noting owner Todd Louis Ratajik of "Good Day Baked Energy Snacks" (Forfeited Existence). Sites now name "Cesar" as owner. Negative reviews disappeared. AFFD has pending lawsuits with Travis County Courts. Unknown AFFD subcontractor alarmingly used my name and address in another client's lawsuit wtf! Standard: Visual consistency. AFFD: Mismatched railing. Todd's words: "It's the same railing but pinched." (A contractor's FB review notes lack of materials to properly complete jobs.) Std: Concrete pad supports stairs. AFFD: Stair stringers hover in air, failing to land on concrete. Todd blatantly texted that stringers would step out (not down) from deck. I refuted the abnormality. Top step was cut off; stringers don't reach concrete. Instead of extending pad or redoing stringers, an ugly post was set. Std: Stairs treads w/o gaps. No overhangs. AFFD: Stringer cuts forgot stairs' fascia; treads weren't 11+". Gaps added to meet code, so stair noses are 1.25+", ie trip hazards. FYI Use rise-to-run guidelines. Std: 42" deck railings. 34-38" stair railings ABOVE boards. AFFD: 44" deck railings. Didn't supply 34" stair railings; boards grossly notched to lower height, which start at 44"! Std: Posts sit on existing FINISHED concrete pads. (LOL) AFFD: Post had no contact with pad (after removing makeshift shams to hide the blunder) ie ZERO deck weight on ground. Todd asked if this was okay [to not deal with]. Post not corrected at start. Rough concrete poured atop pad to meet post. Ew. Std: 16" oc MAX joist spacing (Trex specs). AFFD: 7 of 13 spacings are 16+". No blocking. Add 1 or 2 joists = ~15.5" or 14" spacings. Todd said his ways are "affordable" and "economical". Eek. Best: Competitor contracts: "12-in joist spacings", "blocking", "glulam beam". Std: Trex Cocktail Rail Kit (full-width support, hidden fasteners). AFFD: 5.5" wavy floor boards nailed to 1" rail. Visible screws, rough shavings, corner gaps, no support eg 2x4s to flatten board. No countersunk screws and putty to hide nails. Std: Professional aesthetics. AFFD: Not spraying railing cuts = RUST. No continuity in stairs fascia to meet deck edge. Silver bolts on black railings. Posts unequal distance from deck edges. Cedar's shorter lifespan requires staining / maintenance is inferior to Trex's composite fascia. Std: Disclosure of unforeseen issues. Protocols. Loyal crews. AFFD: Crew wasted a day plotting makeshift repairs after causing roof damage. Licensed roofer was furious about erroneously-cut flashing. Roofers returned after crew again made damaging cuts where told not to. Zero acknowledgement from Todd. AFFD: Crew noted holes in house's ceiling after removing joist nails. No repairmen references. Not-our-problem mentality. AFFD: 15+ days by 2 tired guys: the hire + his actual neighbor. Ditto to reviewer compelled to supervise. Days start late, end after 7pm. My neighbors had 5 deck builders who left by 6pm still jolly. AFFD: Non-recyclables in recycling bin. Concrete and stinky liquid in trash bin. Cigarette butts, nails, and construction debris across yard. AFFD: Crew won't tell owner about gray areas and errors in judgments. One unsure if he'd get paid wth. Std: Professionalism. AFFD: No final walkthroughs. Owner ignores items in emails. Condescending; when I climbed a ladder re an issue (that I called a roofer to fix), Todd muttered that I was "an inspector, eh". Instead of talking measurements, Todd's retort was "I'm the owner of a deck company", as if titles alone grant proficiency. Labor is hired out, crew turnover is high. Workmanship depends on whoever is outsourced, who aren't deck builders so much as guys who "have built decks before". Expect no corrections on what Todd Ratajik deems as "good enough".

A few didn't even bother sending a quote, but out of those that did Discount Fence was competitive pricing wise. Quote process After doing measurements, Melissa & I walked through what they offered, & quickly came up with a plan for our yard. Once we were done she had a quote to me before she left my driveway, then later followed up to check if I had any questions. Installation Absolutely lightning quick. Melissa & her crew showed up early to get started, I went to drop off my kids at school & they already had my old fence down before I got back (8am). It took them until about 11-11:30 & they were done installing our fence. I was shocked at how quick they worked & the fence looks great. Afterwards Melissa was back to do the inspection & make sure everything was looking good. Long story shorter is that Discount Fence knocked it out of the park at every stage, & what really pushed them over the edge was that they offered a warranty above & beyond anyone else. Last thing I'll say is that Melissa was super nice & great to talk to, if you're looking for a new fence I would recommend putting Discount Fence at the top of your list.

We chose them because of their workmanship and details called out in their quote, like support structure. The original deck was built with all Wolmanized wood in 1992. We chose cedar for the renovation. Since then, Roadrunner Decks has also provided refinishing services with their team led by Roberto, who I have found to be very thorough and knowledgeable of the process and products to use. I knew that there was something to the process to obtain a long lasting, beautiful finish from refinishing antique wood with my father. But decks are a different beast due to the exterior elements. The process that Roadrunner Decks uses is simple and clean; all decks need to be free of all items in advance - furniture, plants, etc.: power spray, lightly sand horizontal surfaces, apply two coats penetrating oil stain - color of your choice, allow to dry for 2-3 days to be safe and cure before using. Our latest refinish of three deck sections (front entry, back top, back pool) took two (2) weeks total time. The results of their work can be seen in the pictures below. The finish will last ~2-3 years and will deteriorate depending upon weather conditions, sunlight exposure, and swimming pool water chemical exposure. Some sections that are shaded more can last longer but it is best to refinish the entire deck at once for a consistent color. Big Thank You again to Roberto, and Humberto, Roberto, and Jose for their hard work, beautiful results, and clean up! This was the 5th time it has been refinished by them!
