Deck and Porch Rebuilds
We strip old decking, replace rotted joists and posts, and lay new treated lumber or composite decking. We also screen in porches to keep the bugs out while you enjoy the view.
Wimberley is about 20 minutes west of San Marcos. We serve the hill country homes with deck building, porch screens, and remodeling projects. The drive is worth it for the kind of work that needs a careful hand.

Wimberley sits in the hill country west of San Marcos, where the ground is limestone and oak, and the housing stock ranges from weekend cabins on cypress creeks to full-time homes on sloped acreage. The weather here can swing from humid summers to quick freezes that test exposed decks and porches. The town is spread out, with properties tucked along Ranch Road 12 and the Blanco River, so each job site is different: a steep lot, a gravel drive, an older home that needs careful work to match its character.
Our crew loads up each morning at the shop in San Marcos and drives out to Wimberley with everything needed for the day. We work on site, setting up tarps and drop cloths to keep the dust off the oak floors and the limestone patios. When we finish, we sweep, pack out debris, and leave the place clean. Being this close to the hill country means we know the local building stock and the ground we work on, and we show up ready for whatever the property throws at us.

We build decks and porches on sloped hill country lots, using treated lumber and fasteners that hold up against the humid summers and occasional freezes.
Bathroom remodels in Wimberley often mean updating a cabin-style bath with tile that stands up to limestone well water and a layout that fits a tight footprint.
Exterior painting here has to handle the sun and the oak pollen. We prep and paint with materials that bond to the porous limestone foundations common in the area.
We get called for the small jobs that keep a hill country home running: fixing a gate that sags on a sloped lot, patching a roof leak, or rehanging a door that has settled.
We strip old decking, replace rotted joists and posts, and lay new treated lumber or composite decking. We also screen in porches to keep the bugs out while you enjoy the view.
We gut the room down to the studs, reroute plumbing if needed, install new tile, fixtures, and a vanity, and finish with paint and trim that matches the house's style.
We prep surfaces by scraping, sanding, and priming, then apply two coats of paint. For exteriors, we use a sprayer and back-roll to get good adhesion on the limestone and wood.
Around the square and along Ranch Road 12, we work on older homes and commercial buildings that need careful repairs and remodels that respect the historic character of the area.
Properties along Cypress Creek and the Blanco River often have decks and porches that take a beating from moisture and tree cover. We do a lot of deck rebuilding and screening here.
Out on the larger lots east and west of town, we handle full remodels and handyman work on houses that sit on septic systems and well water, where access is down a gravel drive.
Hays County issues permits for structural work and major remodels in unincorporated areas. Wimberley's city limits have their own permit office. We advise you to check with the county or city before we start any work that changes walls or plumbing.
Any deck over 30 inches high or attached to the house needs a permit from Hays County or the city of Wimberley. We pull the permit as part of the job, but you should confirm that your lot's setback allows the build.

“John and his team are very reliable and get the job done! We were in desperate need of same day service and he came through when no one else would! Highly recommend him and his company!”
“I am extremely happy with the work that was done. The job included removing a closet and built-in drawers, repainting the room, and matching existing hardwood floors where the closet was removed. They did an excellent job piecing the hardwood together so it blends seamlessly with the original floor. You honestly cannot tell it was ever modified.”
“John did a great job on our whole house remodel, paint, new bath update, new kitchen, floors, electrical, plumbing, water heater, ext paint, etc. I love the pics he sent for updates along the way. Any changes were spoken about, approved and put in writing. Payment process along the way was easy. Finished product was nice and clean.”
“We mandated John to build a screened in porch. They provided expert advice on things we did not know. Their proposal was a reasonable price. For the quality of the work, their price is actually exceptional value. They updated us on the work progress almost everyday. The result is fantastic.”
“Handyman Ivy and his team are awesome! They repaired a broken historic wall and rebuilt it. They are reliable and well-priced. Excellent at sheet rock replacement too. Will continue to hire Handyman Ivy.”
