Deck Builder Houston:

Custom Decks Built to Last

Houston’s Trusted Local Deck Builder Since 1998

Looking for a deck builder in Houston who actually listens to what you want — and builds it right the first time? You’re in the right place.

Hi, I’m Jimmy Hughes. I’ve been building custom decks, fences, arbors, and pergolas since I was old enough to hold a hammer — working side by side with my dad back in Albany, Georgia. After moving to Texas, I started Bentwood Deck & Fence and have been proudly serving homeowners across Houston and Dallas since 1998.

At Bentwood, we believe your deck shouldn’t just be a place to sit — it should be your favorite room outside. A place to relax, entertain, and enjoy your home more. Whether you want a small wood platform or a sprawling composite deck with built-in seating and lighting, we’ve got you covered.

Custom Decks Built

Around Your Life

No cookie-cutter templates here. Every Bentwood deck is custom-designed to match your home, your lifestyle, and your budget. We’ll work with you to pick the right layout, materials, and features — and bring it all together with quality craftsmanship you can count on.

Types of Decks We Build:

Ground-Level Decks

Great for ranch-style homes or adding space to your backyard.

Raised or Multi-Level Decks

Perfect for sloped yards or two-story homes.

Wraparound Decks

Expand your outdoor living space and enhance curb appeal.

Pool Decks

Covered Decks & Patio Decks

Add a pergola, roof, or shade structure for comfort.

Decking Material Options

Choosing the right material for your deck is one of the most important decisions. We'll help you weigh your options based on style, durability, maintenance, and budget.

Wood Decking

Classic, warm, and natural. Wood is a timeless choice and can be stained or painted to match your home’s look.

  • Pressure-Treated Pine – Affordable and long-lasting

  • Cedar – Naturally beautiful and rot-resistant

  • Hardwood – Premium look with rich color tones

Composite Decking

Low-maintenance and built to withstand the Texas heat and humidity. Composite decks don’t require staining or sealing, and they’re resistant to fading, splintering, and termites.

We work with trusted brands like Trex, Fiberon, and TimberTech.

FAQS

What is the difference between a patio and a deck?

A patio is a paved outdoor area that is built at ground level and typically radiates heat more than a wooden or composite deck. A deck is a raised platform that is typically made of wood or composite materials and helps to regulate the temperature of your outdoor space in hot Texas summers.

What are the most popular decking materials?

Understanding the differences between popular decking materials can help you make an informed decision for your home. Cedar is a classic choice, known for its rich color and natural resistance to decay. Pressure treated pine is somewhat less expensive and helps to prevent rot in humid environments. If you're looking for durability, Ipe, a dense hardwood, is a great option that can last up to 40 years with proper care. Lastly, composite decking, made from a mix of wood fibers and plastic, is a modern, low-maintenance material that comes in a variety of colors and styles. Each material has its own unique benefits and considerations, and our team is here to help you choose the one that best suits your needs and lifestyle.

How long does it take to build a deck?

The amount of time it takes to build a deck will vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. A simple deck can be built in a few days, while a more elaborate deck with features such as stairs, handrails and stain may take a week to complete.
