We build single- and multi-level decks for homes and cabins, water-smart lakefront decks with the right framing and anchoring, and covered or screened spaces that add reliable shade. Wraparound and poolside designs can include integrated seating, while dock-to-deck transitions and shore-access platforms make the water easier to reach. If you can sketch it, we can plan it—our team refines the layout, structure, and finishes to match how you actually use the space.
Custom Deck Construction in East Texas
Enjoy your property year-round with a deck that’s built to fit your life—and Texas weather. Frazier Construction designs and builds custom decks for lake houses, ranch properties, new homes, and remodels across East Texas. With 55 years of family craftsmanship, certified structural capabilities, and a finish-first mindset, we deliver decks that look great on day one and hold up for years.
Built for Lakefront Living and Everyday Use
Lakefront projects are a specialty. We plan for sun, wind, splash, and fluctuating water levels so your deck stays safe, sturdy, and low-maintenance. We also consider shoreline setbacks, HOA requirements, view corridors, and access paths to docks or the waterline. From weekend gathering spaces to multi-level builds with stairs and railings, every deck is engineered for durability and tailored to your view, lot, and lifestyle.
Deck Types We Build
Railings, Stairs & Safety Details
We build rail and stair packages that feel solid underfoot and meet code without sacrificing your view. Guards are set to the correct height with graspable handrails, and stair rise/run is balanced for a comfortable cadence. Where nighttime use matters, we add low-glare caps or discreet LED lighting along steps and rails. For lakefront sightlines, we recommend cable or slim-profile metal rails that preserve the view while staying compliant. If kids or pets use the space, we tighten picket spacing and incorporate gate solutions to keep everyone safe.
