Deck & Patio Builders in Georgetown, TX

Looking for a deck builder in Georgetown, TX? All Seasons Decks & Gazebos builds decks, covered patios, pergolas, screened porches and gazebos across Georgetown, including Sun City, Wolf Ranch and Berry Creek, from our Liberty Hill shop, family-owned since 1984. Most Georgetown projects land between $12,000 and $45,000, we file the City of Georgetown permit and any HOA or Sun City review for you, and you get a fixed written quote within 24 hours of our visit.

Georgetown splits in two below the grass. West of I-35 you often hit limestone a few inches down. East of the interstate, Blackland Prairie clay runs deep. That one fact shapes every deck, patio cover and pergola we build here, along with Sun City's own review step and the historic overlay districts around the Square. We build decks, covered patios, pergolas, gazebos and screened porches across Georgetown from our shop in Liberty Hill.

"The first thing I want to know in Georgetown is which side of I-35 you're on. West side, we're usually drilling footings into rock. East side, we're digging through clay that moves every time it rains after a dry spell. A lot of folks here are also done with staining, so composite comes up in almost every conversation."

Building a Deck or Patio in Georgetown: What to Know

Permits in Georgetown

Georgetown permits are issued by the City of Georgetown through MGO Connect, not Williamson County. The city lists deck reviews at 15 to 20 business days and patio covers or pergolas at about 10, with pre-pour, setback and final inspections. We prepare the submittal and schedule every inspection.

HOA approval

Georgetown has three kinds of approval to think about. Sun City Texas reviews exterior changes through its Modifications Committee. Most master-planned communities, such as Wolf Ranch, Georgetown Village and Berry Creek, have an architectural review step that looks at size, color and placement. Older central streets may have no HOA at all but can fall inside a historic overlay. We identify which apply to your lot, prepare the submissions, and hold the city application until the HOA signs off.

Soil and footings

Georgetown sits on the Balcones Fault Zone. On the west side, including Sun City, Berry Creek and Wolf Ranch, soil is often thin over limestone, so footings get drilled into rock. East of I-35, Blackland Prairie clay can run several feet deep; it swells when wet and shrinks and cracks in drought. We check each lot before quoting so the footing design matches what is actually under your yard.

Weather and materials

  • Summer highs regularly pass 100 degrees, so a west-facing deck needs shade to be usable after lunch.
  • Strong UV fades uncapped composite and dries out unsealed wood. Capped boards or a stain schedule are part of the plan.
  • Spring hail and wind argue for through-bolted roof framing and metal or insulated panels on patio covers.
  • Clay lots east of I-35 swing between soaked and bone dry, which moves shallow footings.

Tips from our crew

  • Pull your survey before we visit. Georgetown runs a setback inspection, so an accurate survey keeps the layout right the first time.
  • In Sun City, plan for the Modifications Committee review before the city permit clock even starts.
  • On a west-side rock lot, a ground-level patio or low deck usually costs less to anchor than a tall deck, because every footing means drilling.
  • East of I-35, send gutters and downspouts well away from new footings. Wet clay swells, and uneven moisture is what lifts one corner of a deck.

Georgetown-Specific Considerations

Rock on One Side, Clay on the Other

The challenge: West Georgetown lots often have limestone within inches of the surface, while lots east of I-35 sit on expansive Blackland clay. A footing plan that works on a rock lot can fail on a clay lot a few miles east.

How we handle it: We probe the site before we price it. On rock we drill and anchor footings into solid limestone. On clay we size and set footings for soil that swells and shrinks, and we grade so water runs away from the posts.

Sun City Modifications Committee

The challenge: Sun City Texas reviews exterior changes through its own Modifications Committee, separate from the city permit. The committee's guidelines are its own and can change.

How we handle it: We prepare the drawings, material list and color selections for the committee package and wait for its approval before we file with the city. We read the current guidelines on every job instead of working from memory.

Historic Overlay Districts

The challenge: Homes inside the Downtown and Old Town Historic Overlay Districts may need a Certificate of Appropriateness before exterior work. Depending on the project, the Historic Preservation Officer or the Historic and Architectural Review Commission (HARC) reviews it.

How we handle it: We confirm early whether your address falls in an overlay, then design railing style, post size and roof pitch to suit the house before anything goes to review.

"We interviewed four contractors for our Sun City patio project. All Seasons was the only one who really understood the ARC process and designed something that got approved on the first submission. The covered patio they built is where we spend most of our time now - perfect for watching the grandkids play or hosting our bridge group."

FAQs for Georgetown Homeowners

New decks in composite or wood, deck repair and replacement, railings, stairs, covered patios, pergolas, screened porches and gazebos. For older Georgetown decks we inspect the ledger, joists and footings first and tell you plainly whether a repair or a rebuild makes more sense. Permits through the City of Georgetown and any Sun City or HOA approval are part of the job.

Yes. The City of Georgetown requires permits for decks, patios, patio covers and pergolas, applied for through MGO Connect under the 2021 IRC. The city lists deck reviews at 15 to 20 business days and patio covers or pergolas at about 10. Expect pre-pour, setback and final inspections. We handle the submittal and schedule every inspection.

Sun City approval comes first. The community's Modifications Committee reviews exterior changes, and the city permit follows. We prepare the committee package, answer its questions, and file with the city once it approves. We don't promise a committee timeline; we build it into your schedule once the package is in.

It depends mostly on size and material. Our published examples: a 12x16 basic deck runs $12,000 to $16,000, a 16x20 composite deck $20,000 to $28,000, and a 400+ sq ft multi-level deck $35,000 to $55,000. Your written quote is a fixed price, so the number you sign is the number you pay.

Possibly. Georgetown's Downtown and Old Town Historic Overlay Districts require a Certificate of Appropriateness for many exterior changes, reviewed by the Historic Preservation Officer or by HARC. We check your address first and design to fit the house, which keeps review simple.

For most owners who want to stop staining, yes. Capped composite from Trex or TimberTech runs $35 to $55 per sq ft installed versus $15 to $25 for pressure-treated pine, and it needs only an occasional wash. If the deck will sit under a patio cover, treated pine becomes a fair budget choice because the roof takes the sun off it.

Both. We repair and replace decks across Georgetown from our Liberty Hill shop. Every repair visit starts with the ledger, joists, posts and footings, because the frame decides repair versus replace, not the boards. Most repairs run $1,500 to $8,000 in our pricing and take 1 to 4 days of work. Structural repairs usually need a City of Georgetown permit, and in Sun City the Modifications Committee may need to see it too. We handle both.

Yes. In Georgetown we enclose patios as screened porches, three season rooms with sliding vinyl windows, and fully insulated four season rooms. Screening a 12x16 covered patio runs $8,000 to $14,000, a three season room $120 to $220 per sq ft, and a four season room $200 to $350 per sq ft installed. Enclosed space attached to the house needs a City of Georgetown permit, and Sun City or HOA review comes first. We prepare both.

Usually, if the existing cover is framed well enough to carry screen walls. Screening in a 12x16 covered patio runs $8,000 to $14,000 in our pricing. We look at the posts, beam and roof tie-in first and tell you plainly whether they can take it. In Sun City, the Modifications Committee reviews it before the city does.
