What is BETTER DECKS?

Better Decks helps you design, build, and upgrade stunning decks with creative ideas, expert tips, and inspiration to transform your outdoor space.

How often does a wood deck need to be sealed?

We recommend sealing pressure-treated decks every 1-2 years and staining every 2-3 years. Our team can set up a maintenance schedule for you.

Can you replace just the boards on my existing wood deck?

Yes, if your framing is still solid we can resurface your deck with new boards, saving you significant money compared to a full rebuild.

Do you serve Commerce and the surrounding area?

Yes, we proudly serve Commerce and all of Hunt County. We're familiar with local building codes, soil conditions, and weather patterns in the Piney Woods region, and we build outdoor structures designed to withstand East Texas conditions.

Do you offer a warranty on wood decks in Commerce?

Yes, every project includes our workmanship guarantee. Material warranties vary by manufacturer — composite decking typically carries 25-50 year warranties, while pressure-treated wood includes manufacturer coverage. We explain all warranty details during your Commerce consultation.
