Learn MoreThree straightforward steps from your first call to a finished, inspected deck.
Reach out by phone or through our contact form. Someone from our office contacts you within 1 business day to schedule a free on-site visit. You do not need drawings, measurements, or a firm idea yet - just a general sense of what you want.
We come to your property, walk the yard, and look at the soil conditions - including Socorro's caliche layer that affects how footings are set. We walk you through material options and give you a written estimate that breaks down labor and materials separately. No single mystery number.
Once you approve the design, we pull the City of Socorro building permit, schedule inspections, and handle construction from footings to final walkthrough. You get a copy of the passed inspection when the job is complete - the paperwork you need if you ever sell your home.
Every card below answers a real concern homeowners have before hiring a contractor.
Socorro Deck and Fence holds a valid Texas contractor license issued through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. We carry general liability and workers compensation insurance on every project. Ask for documentation before we start - we will share it without hesitation.
We never quote over the phone without seeing your yard - that is how contractors get the price wrong and how homeowners get surprised mid-project. Our estimate visits are free, and the written quote we leave behind breaks out every line item so you know exactly what you are paying for.
We have been building in the El Paso Valley since 2018 and know what Socorro's caliche soil, triple-digit summers, and spring windstorms do to outdoor structures. That local experience shapes every design decision - from footing depth to material color to how we orient a pergola against prevailing winds.
We handle the City of Socorro permit application, coordinate all required inspections, and ask about HOA requirements before a single board is ordered. You receive a copy of the passed permit inspection at project completion - the documentation you need if you sell or refinance.

"We had a concrete slab that nobody used. The crew built a composite deck with a pergola on top, and now we eat outside three nights a week. They finished in under two weeks and left the yard cleaner than they found it."
Carlos M., El Paso, TX - Custom Deck Design and Build
"Our old wood fence was falling apart after just six years. They came out, gave us a written quote the same week, and had the vinyl fence installed before the month was out. It looks solid and I do not have to paint it every summer."
Maria L., Horizon City, TX - Vinyl Fence Installation
"Our deck was pulling away from the house and the railings wobbled when you pushed on them. They came out, assessed the structure honestly, and rebuilt it properly. The permit was handled on their end and the inspection passed first try."

Six topics homeowners ask about most often - answered plainly, without a sales pitch.
It can, yes - darker boards in full afternoon sun can get uncomfortable underfoot by mid-morning in June. Lighter-colored capped composite boards stay noticeably cooler than older or budget-grade products. If barefoot comfort matters to you, ask about heat performance before choosing a color.
Caliche - a hard, calcium-rich layer in the soil under most of the El Paso Valley - requires specialized equipment to dig through. Footings must reach stable ground below it. This adds labor and time compared to softer-soil markets, but properly set footings are what keep a deck level and solid for decades.
A city inspector visits at least twice - once after footings are set (before they are covered) and once at completion. They check that the structure matches the approved plans and meets building code. A deck that passes inspection is a deck verified as structurally safe. The City of Socorro actively enforces permit requirements for residential construction.
Composite wins on longevity and maintenance - a capped composite deck can last 25 to 30 years with little upkeep. Pressure-treated wood is 30 to 50 percent less expensive upfront and holds up well when sealed regularly. The right answer depends on your budget and how much maintenance you want to do. The North American Deck and Railing Association publishes a free deck-building guide that covers both in detail.
Spring and fall are the most popular build windows - the weather is mild enough for crews to work comfortably and for concrete to cure correctly. Summer builds are possible but heat affects the work pace. The key timing constraint is the City of Socorro permit queue, which can back up in spring. Starting your estimate process in January or February is the safest way to be sitting outside by May.
Buyers in the El Paso Valley consistently value outdoor living space because the climate supports year-round use. A quality deck that has been permitted and maintained recoup a meaningful share of its cost at resale - often 60 to 70 percent or more according to industry data. An unpermitted or deteriorating deck can actually hurt a sale. Building it right from the start protects the investment.

Common questions from Socorro homeowners before they hire a deck builder.
An unpermitted deck can block a home sale, create problems with your insurance carrier, and leave you with no recourse if the structure fails. The City of Socorro actively enforces permit requirements. The paperwork is worth it.
Push on your railings. Walk slowly across the surface and feel for soft spots or movement. Look at the base of posts and the ledger connection to the house. If you notice wobble, flex, or separation, have a contractor assess the structure before the next person gets hurt.
Every one to two years, compared to every three years in a milder climate. Socorro's UV exposure accelerates drying and cracking. Let a new pressure-treated deck dry for six months before the first application. The U.S. Forest Products Laboratory publishes research on wood preservation and maintenance schedules.

Socorro is a fast-growing city in El Paso County, Texas, located along the Upper Rio Grande Valley just southeast of El Paso. With roughly 32,000 residents as of the 2020 Census and a homeownership rate well above the national average, Socorro is a community of homeowners who care about their properties. Most of the housing stock was built between the 1980s and 2000s, meaning homes are old enough that exterior structures like decks, fences, and patios are starting to show wear from years of desert sun, monsoon rain, and freeze-thaw winters.
Some of the most recognizable landmarks in the city include the Socorro Mission, one of the oldest churches in Texas and a defining feature of the historic heart of the city, and the Socorro Independent School District, one of the largest school districts in Texas with over 47,000 students. The city is also directly connected to El Paso via Loop 375, the main corridor most residents use daily. From neighborhoods near the mission to newer subdivisions off Loop 375, we have worked on homes across all parts of the city.
Socorro's climate shapes every outdoor project we take on. Triple-digit summers bake wood surfaces, monsoon storms push water against foundations on flat caliche-heavy lots, and spring haboobs coat decks in fine desert grit. Socorro Deck and Fence has been building in this environment since 2018 and designs every project with local conditions in mind. Whether your home is in an older neighborhood near the river or a newer subdivision on the east side, we know what materials and construction methods hold up here - and which ones do not.
By appointment only, no walk-ins.
Socorro Deck and Fence builds decks, fences, and outdoor living spaces that hold up to West Texas summers and last for decades. Call for a free on-site estimate today.
