Fence or deck in Corpus Christi

In Corpus Christi, a new deck and a replacement fence travel very different paths. Development Services files decks with porches, patio covers and pools under accessory construction. A complete deck submission includes a site plan, a foundation plan, an elevation certificate if the lot is in a floodplain, and a Texas Department of Insurance WPI-1 form naming the windstorm engineer or inspector who will check the work. Beachfront projects may also need a beachfront construction certificate.

That windstorm piece comes with the coast. Nueces County is one of 14 coastal counties in the state's designated catastrophe area, where homeowners may not be able to buy private wind and hail coverage and can turn to the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association. To buy a TWIA policy, most homes need a certificate of compliance, and TDI says most new construction, major repairs and other alterations need an inspection to earn one.

Fences get a break. TDI lists repairing or replacing a fence among the jobs that don't need a windstorm inspection. So a fence the last storm flattened can go back up without a windstorm inspection, while a new deck on the same lot carries the full windstorm paperwork. Salt air off the bay is the other thing to plan for: hot-dip galvanized or stainless fasteners outlast plain steel on either job.

Questions homeowners ask

How accurate is a photo estimate?
It’s a ballpark, not a quote. A photo tells us a lot about the material and size, but a local pro who walks the yard will always be more precise. Use our number as the range to expect before you start calling around.
How is a fence priced versus a deck?
Fences are usually priced by the foot and decks by the square foot. We’ll ask one quick question to tell which you’re after, then size it from your photo and your answers.
Which materials can you estimate?
Wood, vinyl, chain-link and metal for fences; pressure-treated wood and composite for decks. Material is the single biggest price swing, so it’s worth picking the one you want.
Is this really free?
Yes. No signup, no credit card, no spam. We only make money if you choose to connect with a local pro — and that’s up to you.
What photo works best?
A wide shot of where the fence or deck will go — or of the old one you’re replacing — works best.
