Serving Galveston, TX and surrounding areas. (409) 497-0061
Total Galveston Deck & Fence is Galveston Island's deck builder and fence contractor, building custom decks, composite decks, and privacy fences for homes that live in salt air and hurricane weather every year. We have served the island since 2017 and understand exactly what Gulf Coast conditions demand.
Every service below is built for the realities of island living - salt air, storm exposure, elevated foundations, and the coastal codes that come with all of it.
Galveston homes sit on elevated piers and face salt air every day - a custom deck here has to look great and hold up to that environment. We design and build custom decks that fit your specific property layout, elevation, and style, using materials rated for coastal conditions.
Composite decking is the top choice for Galveston homeowners because it resists the moisture, UV rays, and salt air that destroy wood finishes within a few seasons. We install composite and Trex boards that stay looking good year after year with minimal upkeep, which matters a lot if you own a vacation rental or a second home on the island.
The combination of salt air and humidity means Galveston decks deteriorate faster than those in inland cities. If your boards are soft, your posts are rotting, or your deck is no longer level, we can assess whether repair or a full replacement is the smarter investment.
Galveston mosquitoes and gnats are relentless from spring through fall. A screened porch or covered deck lets you actually use your outdoor space in comfort, no matter what the Gulf breeze brings in. These structures also add real value to vacation rentals and primary residences alike.
Island homes need fences that can handle high winds and resist the corrosion that comes from being surrounded by saltwater. We install vinyl fencing - which holds up well in coastal conditions - and wood privacy fencing for homeowners who want a traditional look and are willing to maintain it.
Galveston's warm climate makes poolside living possible for most of the year. We build pool decks and outdoor kitchen structures that match the scale and style of your home, using materials that handle the constant exposure to water, sun, and salty air that any deck here faces.
Galveston sits on a narrow barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico, surrounded by saltwater on all sides. That location creates conditions no inland city deals with - persistent salt air that accelerates rust and rot on any exposed metal or wood, high humidity that never really drops, and hurricane-season storm surges that can put water under and around homes. Decks and outdoor structures built without these factors in mind will fail years before they should.
Most of Galveston's older homes were built on pier-and-beam foundations, and many post-Hurricane Ike rebuilds sit on tall pilings to meet current flood elevation requirements. That means deck construction here often involves elevated framing, precise attachment to existing piling systems, and material selections that account for the exposure under and around the structure. A contractor who has only built ground-level decks in suburban Houston is not working with the same set of constraints.
Our crew works throughout Galveston Island regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect deck and fence work here. We pull permits through the City of Galveston Development Services department and know the elevation and wind-resistance requirements that apply to structures built in FEMA flood zones on the island. Those requirements are not optional, and getting them right from the start keeps your project from failing inspection or causing problems when you sell or insure the property.
We work on all types of Galveston properties - the Victorian and Craftsman homes in the East End Historic District that require careful material matching, the mid-century bungalows in Midtown, the newer post-Ike elevated builds on the West End, and vacation rentals up and down the Seawall corridor. Whether your home is a block from the beach or tucked into a quiet street near Moody Gardens, we know what these properties need.
We also serve the nearby mainland communities. If you are located in Hitchcock or just off the island in Texas City, we cover those areas as well and can typically schedule your estimate within one business day of your call.
Reach us by phone at {BUSINESS.phone} or submit the online form. We respond to every inquiry within one business day - usually the same day.
We visit your property, walk the site, and discuss your goals and budget. You receive a written estimate before any work begins - no surprise costs during the job.
We handle the permit application with the City of Galveston and schedule your build or repair around your calendar. You will always know the start date before we arrive.
We complete the work to plan, pass any required inspections, and leave the site clean. A final walkthrough with you is standard before we consider the job done.
We serve all of Galveston Island and respond to every estimate request within one business day. No pressure, no obligation - just a straightforward conversation about your project.
(409) 497-0061Galveston is a barrier island city of about 50,000 residents, sitting roughly 50 miles southeast of Houston in the Gulf of Mexico. The city is defined by its history - it was once the largest city in Texas and was devastated by the catastrophic 1900 hurricane, which prompted the construction of the Galveston Seawall and the engineering feat of raising much of the island's elevation. The East End Historic District preserves one of the largest collections of Victorian-era homes in Texas, while The Strand district anchors the city's commercial and cultural identity. Neighborhoods range from the densely historic East End to mid-island communities and the newer elevated builds on the West End.
The city has a notably high share of vacation and investment properties compared to most Texas cities, which shapes the local housing market. Many homeowners split time between Galveston and Houston, and short-term rentals are common throughout the island. This also means that outdoor improvements like decks, porches, and fences carry real value - well-maintained outdoor spaces help vacation rentals compete and add to the resale appeal of primary residences. Communities just north of the island, including Texas City, are also part of the broader Galveston Bay area that we serve.
