Learn MoreReach out by phone or through our contact form. We respond within 1 business day - usually the same day. We will ask a few questions about your project and schedule a free on-site visit at a time that works for you. No pressure, no commitment required.
We visit your property, measure the space, and assess any site-specific factors - flood zone designation, foundation type, HOA restrictions. You walk away with a written quote covering labor, materials, and permits. No hidden charges added later.
Once you approve the design and quote, we handle permitting, material ordering, and construction. A city inspector reviews the finished structure before we close out the job. You get a walkthrough, care instructions, and a warranty - then the space is yours.
We are licensed through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation and carry full general liability insurance. Every project is documented with permits and signed off by a city inspector.
We come to your property, measure the space, and give you a written itemized quote - covering labor, materials, and permit fees. There is nothing to sign at the estimate, and no charge for our time.
We have been building on Galveston Island since 2017. We know the flood zone rules, the permit office, and what coastal conditions do to outdoor structures. You are not hiring a mainland crew learning on your job.
Salt air destroys standard hardware within a few years. Every deck and fence we build uses hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel fasteners rated for coastal environments - so you are not replacing corroded railings in year three.

"We had been putting off replacing our rotted wood deck for two years. The team came out the same week we called, gave us a written quote that covered everything including the permit, and finished the composite deck in about a week. Looks exactly like what we discussed and has held up through two storm seasons without any issues."
David R., League City - Composite deck installation
"Our house is on piers and we were not sure anyone could build a decent deck on an elevated foundation like ours. They walked the property, explained exactly how it would attach to the structure, and handled the flood zone paperwork without us having to figure any of that out. The pergola and covered deck they built have made our backyard usable again."
Sandra M., Galveston - Covered decks and patio covers
"We rent out our Galveston property and needed a new fence installed on a tight schedule before a rental turnaround. They showed up on time, finished two days ahead of when they estimated, and cleaned up the yard before leaving. The vinyl fence looks sharp and the renters have not mentioned any issues with it."
Mike T., Texas City - Vinyl fence installation
We respond within 1 business day - no obligation and no pressure. After you submit, someone from our office will call you to learn a few details about your project, then schedule a free on-site estimate at your property.

Yes - and faster than most homeowners expect. Standard zinc-coated fasteners can begin to rust within two to three years in a coastal environment like Galveston. Hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel hardware is the minimum for any deck built here.
Most of Galveston Island sits in a FEMA-designated flood zone, which affects both where a deck can be placed and how high it must be built. Ground-level platform decks are sometimes restricted in higher-risk zones. A contractor familiar with FEMA flood maps will check your property designation before drawing a single line.
Composite wins for longevity in coastal climates. Wood decks need sealing every one to two years in Galveston's humidity, and even with proper maintenance they typically need replacing or major repairs within 10-15 years. Composite decks last 25-30 years with minimal upkeep.
Repair makes sense when damage is limited to surface boards and the structural frame is still solid. If the posts, beams, or ledger board are compromised - common on older Galveston homes - a full replacement is almost always more cost-effective than patching.
Regularly. Unpermitted decks can surface during a home inspection, delay closings, and in some cases require demolition before a sale can proceed. The permit process also protects you as the homeowner - a city inspector independently verifies the structure is safe.
Late winter through early spring - February through May - is the recommended window. You beat the heat, avoid hurricane season scheduling conflicts, and finish before the summer entertaining season begins. The North American Deck and Railing Association recommends planning at least 6-8 weeks ahead to account for permitting.
Total Galveston Deck & Fence is a licensed and insured deck builder company based in Galveston, TX, serving 12 Gulf Coast communities since 2017. We are licensed through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) and carry full general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage on every project.
Since 2017 we have completed projects across Galveston Island and the surrounding mainland - from straightforward deck replacements to multi-level builds on pier-and-beam homes in FEMA flood zones. We have built experience with the specific conditions that Gulf Coast properties demand, including coastal-grade hardware, elevated framing, and Galveston city permitting.

Unpermitted work creates risk for you as the owner - not the contractor who built it. City enforcement, home sale complications, and insurance claim denials are all real outcomes.
A complete quote covers materials, labor, permit fees, and any demolition of existing structures. If a quote skips permit fees or says "permits extra," ask for a revised quote before proceeding.
Not much - permit review timelines are set by the city. The best way to minimize delays is submitting a complete, accurate application the first time. An experienced local contractor who knows Galveston's process helps here.

Galveston is a 32-mile barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico, about 50 miles southeast of Houston. The combination of salt air, high humidity, and periodic tropical storms makes it one of the more demanding environments for outdoor structures anywhere in Texas. Most of the island sits in FEMA-designated flood zones, and many homes - particularly in older neighborhoods like the East End Historic District - are built on pier-and-beam foundations that require a different approach to deck attachment than a standard slab home.
The island has a long history of elevated construction, shaped by the Galveston Seawall built after the 1900 hurricane and reinforced after every major storm since. Many homes near Moody Gardens and along the West End were rebuilt after Hurricane Ike in 2008 and now sit on tall pilings well above grade. These elevated structures call for multi-level decks, covered entries, and elevated framing that a mainland deck builder may not be equipped to handle. The island also has a large vacation rental economy, with many homeowners needing work completed on tight schedules between rental turnarounds.
Total Galveston Deck & Fence works across all of Galveston Island and understands the local building department, flood zone requirements, and what coastal conditions do to outdoor materials over time. Whether your home is in Midtown, the historic East End, or on the West End near the water, we bring the same coastal-grade materials and permitting knowledge to every project.
