Port Lavaca, TX

Port Lavaca takes weather straight off Matagorda Bay. Between the humidity, the salt and the hurricane seasons folks around here do not forget, coastal outdoor projects live or die on materials and fasteners. We lean hard on vinyl and powder-coated aluminum near the water, use stainless or coated hardware, and build patio covers and pergolas with connections that are meant to take a blow.

The homes along Ocean Drive and out toward Alamo Beach are a mix of raised coastal builds and brick ranch houses from the seventies and eighties. Raised homes usually need stairs, landings and wrap-around decks done right; the ranch homes are typically after a privacy fence the wind will not rattle apart, plus a covered patio so the backyard is usable in August.

The Lighthouse Beach and Bird Sanctuary side of town gets plenty of visitors, so short-term rental owners call us for durable, low-maintenance fencing and decking that still looks sharp in listing photos.

About 35 minutes southeast of Victoria — call (361) 652-6291 and we will come take a look.
