Q&A From Your Deck Builder
Choosing the right deck design is easy with MCM Outdoor Living. We start with a detailed consultation to understand your space, style, and goals.
From there, we’ll present tailored design options and provide a 3D rendering so you can clearly see how your new deck will look before we begin. Our team will guide you every step of the way to create something that truly fits your home and lifestyle.
Many straightforward deck installations take about 4 to 5 active construction days once materials are ready and the project is scheduled.
Larger decks, composite upgrades, elevated framing, stairs, railings, lighting, demolition, or permitting can add time. Before construction begins, we walk you through the expected schedule and keep you updated as the project moves forward.
Deck pricing depends on size, material, elevation, railing, stairs, demolition, access, and finish details. As a general reference, wood decks often cost less upfront, while composite decks usually cost more but require less long-term maintenance.
This page includes real North Texas deck project examples, and our deck cost calculator can help you compare a starting range before requesting a custom quote.
Yes. We build custom wood decks, composite decks, Trex deck upgrades, pool decks, and mixed-material decks with features like railings, privacy screens, lighting, and under-deck space.
Wood can be a good fit when you want a natural look and lower upfront material cost. Composite decking is a strong option when you want lower maintenance, fewer splinters, and better long-term durability.
The average lifespan of a deck typically ranges from 10 to 18 years. However, it’s important to note that the actual lifespan can vary depending on several factors.
Factors such as the type of materials used, the quality of construction, maintenance practices, exposure to weather conditions, and usage frequency can all impact the longevity of your deck.
Yes, you can definitely build a deck on uneven ground. In fact, decks are a great solution for creating a level outdoor living space on uneven terrain.
Building a deck on uneven ground requires careful planning and the use of specialized construction techniques. Our experienced team will assess the topography of your site and work to create a level and stable foundation for your deck.
This may involve using adjustable deck supports, leveling techniques, or even building retaining walls, depending on the severity of the slope.
We have the expertise to design and construct decks on various types of landscapes, including uneven ground.
Permit requirements depend on your city, deck size, height, attachment method, stairs, railing, and structural details. Many deck projects in Texas do require a permit or city review.
We help confirm what your project needs and guide the permit process so the deck is built correctly and safely.

A Word From Our Past Customers

Niki Grogan
After having a horrible pool builder experience and a lifting pool deck after 2 years, we hired MCM to completely take up our cool deck and lay a new travertine tile surround and it looks amazing!!!
A cracked skimmer basket was also repaired in the process and my pool has never looked better.
Thank you so much. We have made several referrals to your company and will continue to let people know what amazing work your team does.

Cody was wonderful to work with! My FIL’s garage collapsed, and the insurance company was fighting us(I won’t go into the frustrating details here, LOL)…
Cody assisted us in getting them to pay out by providing estimates that helped us prove the value of the loss.
We are looking to rebuild now, so Cody and MCM are definitely on our shortlist to work with!

Cody and Mike were great! They were timely, very helpful and professional! They asked what I was looking for and offered several options and price points to help me achieve that desired project.
I asked for their suggestions and ideas to help improve my space as well and really liked their ideas.
They were able to show me sketches of potential for my space on site as we discussed them. On top of that, they were fun to work with!
I would highly recommend them!
