Round Rock covers a lot of ground and a lot of housing eras. Older Round Rock near the original downtown has mature trees and decks that have been rebuilt once already. Teravista and Forest Creek are newer, flatter and mostly unshaded, which changes what makes sense in the backyard. Brushy Creek sits somewhere in between with more slope than people expect.
Most of what we build here is decks and patio roofs. Here is what that costs, what Williamson County wants, and how to think about your particular lot.
Decks in Round Rock
Most Round Rock lots are flat, which means a ground-level deck is usually available and usually the best value you can get out of a backyard budget.
Decks have their own page rather than a summary here. Start at deck builders in Round Rock for pricing by material, the ground-level versus raised decision, permit and HOA detail by subdivision, and the repair-or-replace test.
Patio roofs and patio covers in Round Rock
This is the other half of our Round Rock work, and in Brushy Creek specifically it is most of what people call us about.
A patio roof is a solid cover: rafters, sheathing, and roofing material on top, usually shingles matched to the house or standing-seam metal. It blocks sun and rain outright and turns a patio into a space you use from March through November instead of six weeks a year.
A pergola is open-top, with beams and slats overhead. It throws dappled shade and defines the space without blocking light from the windows behind it, which matters when the cover would otherwise darken a kitchen.
An attached cover ties into your roofline, needs a permit and often an engineer's stamp, and runs $10,500 to $16,000 open-top or $14,500 to $22,000 with a solid roof. A freestanding pergola or pavilion starts around $8,500 and can go anywhere the shade is needed rather than only where the house allows.
The upgrade that changes how a patio roof feels is a tongue-and-groove ceiling. Bare rafters read as a carport. A finished pine or cedar ceiling reads as a room. It runs $12 to $25 per square foot installed.
Combining the two
Most of our best Round Rock projects are a deck and a cover designed together rather than a cover bolted onto a deck two years later. If a roof is anywhere in your thinking, say so before we frame. Sizing the posts and footings to carry a roof at build time costs very little. Retrofitting means cutting into finished work and usually re-doing the footings entirely.
Not sure whether you want a deck, a patio, or a cover over either? That is the normal starting point. John will walk the yard, tell you what the grade and the roofline allow, and price the options side by side. Free, and no pressure to decide on the spot.

On a flat Round Rock lot, a poured or stamped patio often beats a deck outright. It costs less per square foot, never needs staining, and gives a cover a solid base. We pour stamped and broom-finish patios, paver walkways, seat walls and retaining walls, which on a Brushy Creek slope are frequently what makes the yard usable at all.
Stamped concrete runs $15 to $25 per square foot. If a cover is coming later, setting footings at pour time costs $400 to $1,200 and saves cutting finished concrete.
Cedar fences in Round Rock
Six-foot cedar privacy fence in board-on-board, shadowbox or horizontal slat, at $32 to $55 per linear foot installed. Round Rock HOAs are specific about fence height, style and which direction the finished face points, and Teravista and Forest Creek both have real covenants on this. We check before quoting.
Roof replacement and hail in Round Rock
Williamson County catches hail most springs, and Round Rock gets its share. We do free inspections after a storm and we will meet your insurance adjuster at the house so somebody is there who can point at the damage while they are up on the roof.
We install architectural composition shingles on most homes and standing-seam metal where a homeowner wants it. If your roof does not need replacing, we will say so.
Hardie siding in Round Rock
Fiber cement at $10 to $16 per square foot installed, with a full re-side on a typical Round Rock home between $22,000 and $58,000. We tear off rather than going over, because going over hides the rot you are paying us to find.

Permits and HOA approval in Round Rock
Round Rock is in Williamson County, and structural work inside city limits generally needs a permit: attached patio covers, decks above a certain height, and anything electrical. Freestanding structures depend on size and placement. We pull permits as part of the job and will tell you which bucket yours falls into before you sign.
Most Round Rock subdivisions also have active architectural review. Teravista, Forest Creek, Behrens Ranch and Paloma Lake all do. Budget two to four weeks for it and start early. We prepare and submit the packet as part of every project.

How much does a deck cost in Round Rock, TX?
A pressure-treated deck in Round Rock typically runs $10,500 to $26,000 installed, and cedar runs $14,000 to $30,000. Size, height off the ground, railing and stair runs, and whether you add a cover are the biggest drivers.
How much does a patio roof cost in Round Rock or Brushy Creek?
An attached open-top patio cover runs $10,500 to $16,000 installed. A solid-roof patio cover in cedar with shingle or metal runs $14,500 to $22,000. Adding a finished tongue-and-groove ceiling costs $12 to $25 per square foot and is the upgrade that makes it feel like a room.
Patio roof or pergola?
A patio roof is solid, so it blocks sun and rain completely and extends your usable season by months. A pergola is open-top, so it throws dappled shade and defines the space without darkening the rooms behind it. In an unshaded Teravista or Forest Creek backyard, a solid roof usually earns its keep.
Can you add a cover to my existing Round Rock deck?
Only if the deck was framed to carry it, and most were not. If a cover is anywhere in your plans, tell us before we frame the deck. Sizing posts and footings for it up front costs very little compared to retrofitting later.
Do I need a permit for a deck or patio cover in Round Rock?
Inside city limits, structural work generally needs one, including attached covers, decks above a certain height, and anything electrical. Low ground-level decks and some freestanding structures may not. We pull permits as part of the project and tell you which applies before you commit.
Do you handle Round Rock HOA approvals?
Yes. Teravista, Forest Creek, Behrens Ranch and Paloma Lake all have active architectural review. We prepare and submit the packet with drawings and material specs as part of every project. Allow two to four weeks.
Do you serve Brushy Creek?
Yes, and it is one of our busiest areas for patio roofs. We also cover Cedar Park, Leander, Hutto, Pflugerville and Georgetown.
