FAQs

How long have you been building Decks?
Since 1978, the Gueguen family has built beautiful custom decks in Austin and Central Texas. Roadrunner Decks offers custom-designed decks, deck construction, pergolas / shade arbors, and maintenance. Free estimates to homeowners.


Are you insured?
Yes. We carry a multi-million dollar liability policy as required by our numerous home building clients.


Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Beyond any manufacturer’s warranty, we offer a full year structural warranty on our installations.

What are the available materials?
We use traditional lumbers such as cedar, redwood, treated lumber (ACQ) and IPE (ironwood), as well as composite decking. For detailed information on all of these materials, please review our Materials page.

​

Which is best?
Depending on your taste and the project purpose:
Traditional woods have a warmer feel, are structurally sound but require protection from the rain and sun (weatherproofing).  Composite materials will not splinter, decay or rot, but are not structural, require a tighter joist spacing. 

​

Is a building permit required?
Yes, in most areas. A inspection will certify that your deck meets national building codes. We will be happy to obtain a permit for you. At Roadrunner Decks we are licensed residential building contractors.


Is there a charge for designing and estimating?
No. We will happily give you a complimentary detailed estimate. Just Contact Us to schedule a visit at the project site.

How long will it take for you to build my deck?
Upon project review, we will determine a timeline best suited for your project and schedule. 

​​

How much does a deck cost?
