Built to Handle Outdoor Living Year-Round

Decks & Pergolas in Floresville for backyards needing shade, seating, and usable outdoor space

JDR Construction designs and builds custom decks and pergolas that extend your living area into the yard and provide relief from direct sun. When your backyard lacks a defined gathering space or your existing deck shows rot, splintering, or unstable posts, you need a structure built to withstand heat, moisture, and regular use. These installations are common in residential upgrades across Floresville and the surrounding region.

Deck construction involves setting footings below the frost line, installing support posts and beams, and laying decking boards with proper spacing for drainage and expansion. Pergolas require secure anchoring and precise cuts to ensure rafters align and provide consistent shade coverage. Both structures must be built level and square to prevent sagging or shifting over time. Material selection depends on your preferences for maintenance, appearance, and durability, with options including pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, and cedar or redwood for pergola beams.



If you want to add functional outdoor space or replace a failing deck, plan your outdoor project with JDR Construction to review design options and material choices.

You will have a stable, level surface that supports furniture, grills, and foot traffic without flexing or creaking. Decking boards will be evenly spaced to allow water to drain and air to circulate, which reduces mold growth and extends material life. Pergola rafters will cast consistent shade patterns throughout the day, lowering surface temperatures and making the space comfortable even during peak sun hours.

After JDR Construction completes the work, railings will be secure and meet code height requirements, stairs will have uniform rise and run, and all fasteners will be countersunk or concealed for a clean appearance. The structure will blend with your home's exterior and provide a defined area for outdoor activities, increasing both usability and property value.



The installation does not include landscaping, lighting, or irrigation work, and any necessary grading or drainage improvements must be completed separately. The focus remains on delivering a well-built, durable outd

Deck and Pergola Planning Questions

Homeowners frequently ask about materials, design options, and maintenance requirements.

What decking material works best in Floresville?

Composite decking resists fading and moisture damage with minimal maintenance, while pressure-treated wood costs less upfront but requires periodic sealing to prevent rot and splintering.

How deep do deck footings need to be?

Footings should extend at least 12 inches below grade to provide stable support and prevent shifting, with depth adjusted based on soil type and load requirements.

When should you add a pergola instead of a solid roof cover?

Pergolas provide partial shade and ventilation, making them ideal when you want sun control without creating an enclosed, heated space.

Why do some deck boards warp or cup after installation?

Warping usually results from inadequate spacing between boards, improper fastening, or using material with high moisture content at the time of installation.

How long does a custom deck and pergola project take?

Most residential projects are completed within one to two weeks, depending on size, design complexity, and site preparation needs.
