New deck builds, replacements, railing repair, and refinishing — wood or composite, done right from the first board to the final coat.
A deck is only as good as its build and its finish. Holmes handles deck installation, replacement, remodeling, railing repair, and refinishing — in both wood and composite materials.
Staining and finish choices are part of every build, not an afterthought — we’ll walk you through your options and give you a written quote before work begins.
Schedule My Inspection
Wood or composite deck installation, built and framed for your layout and how you’ll use it.
Full deck replacement or remodeling when your current deck has reached the end of its life.
Repair for damaged or loose railing sections without replacing the whole deck.
Refinishing and re-staining to restore your deck’s look and protect the wood underneath.
Three very different jobs all get called “deck work,” and they are not the same size of project. When the structure underneath is still sound, refinishing and re-staining can bring a tired deck back without a full rebuild. When a few railing sections have come loose or a handful of boards have gone soft, that is a targeted repair rather than a teardown. And when a deck has genuinely reached the end of its life, replacement is the honest answer.
That is the whole reason the look comes before the number. We would rather say “this only needs a finish” than sell you a coat of stain over a problem that comes back next year.
Every Holmes job opens with a free, no-obligation estimate, and a deck is no exception. Structure gets looked at first, because whether the frame and posts holding your deck up are still sound is what decides between a finish, a repair, and a replacement. After that comes the walking surface, the railing sections, and the condition of whatever stain or sealer is on there now.
You get the scope in writing, so you are not taking anyone’s word for it. Then you get the honest read: what is fine, what needs attention, and what can wait. Nothing gets added that you don’t need — including a rebuild you are not ready for.
Call (210) 440-1013 or send the form, and we respond and coordinate a visit within 24 hours. The visit costs nothing and obligates you to nothing — there is no charge if you decide to sit on it, and no follow-up pressure if you decide against the work altogether.
Once we have actually stood on your deck, you get a written quote covering the scope we recommend, before anybody starts. Staining and finish choices are settled at that stage too, not improvised at the end. Financing is available through our Synchrony Financial partnership — worth raising while the numbers are still in front of you.
Water is what takes wood apart, and water almost always arrives from above — off a roof edge, out of an overflowing gutter, down a wall that has opened up at a seam. A deck failing in the same corner every year is often being fed by something happening higher up the house.
Holmes handles that whole picture. If your gutters are dumping water straight onto the posts, or your siding has let moisture in behind the wall the deck ties into, you will hear about it while we are there. One crew, one standard, one number to call for the roof and everything under it.
A number said out loud in your driveway is not a quote. Ask to see the scope on paper, and the finish, before anyone picks up a tool. Holmes puts both in writing first.
Texas issues no statewide roofing license, so the checks that mean anything are local ones. Holmes holds San Antonio contractor registration HIC-24-00928 and carries General Liability & Workers’ Compensation.
Ask whether the person who looked at your deck is the one standing behind the build. Holmes is family-owned and owner-operated — not a call center reselling your job to whoever is free.
This is a family-owned, owner-operated company working out of Selma, TX. Joshua Holmes brings 20+ years of roofing and contracting experience to the work. The company is a GAF Certified contractor, registered with the City of San Antonio (HIC-24-00928), fully insured — General Liability & Workers’ Compensation — and rated 5.0 on Google.
The line we put on our own site is the one that matters most here: “We believe that honesty is the foundation of trust. This belief is why we never upsell unnecessary services or push products.” On a deck, that mostly shows up as telling people their structure is fine and a finish will do.
Warranty terms vary by what is being built, so ask what applies to your project. The terms on our warranty page cover shingle and metal roof systems.
Selma is home base, and from there we cover the San Antonio metro and the surrounding communities. Not certain your address falls inside that? One phone call settles it faster than guessing. Reach us Monday through Saturday, 8am to 8pm; we are closed Sunday. Call (210) 440-1013 or use the request form, and we will get a visit on the calendar within 24 hours.
Both are real options. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs for your home and budget during your consultation.
Yes — if the structure is sound, refinishing and re-staining can bring it back without a full rebuild.
Yes — railing repair is handled on its own when the deck structure itself is in good shape.

No. Every Holmes job starts with a free, no-obligation estimate, and you get the scope in writing before any number is attached. If the honest answer is that your deck doesn’t need work yet, that is what the report will say.
We respond and coordinate an inspection within 24 hours of your call. Our hours are Monday through Saturday, 8am to 8pm, closed Sunday — call (210) 440-1013.
Yes. Holmes finances through Synchrony Financial, and approval is based on you rather than on the type of work — once you are approved, it applies to your project. It is worth raising while your written quote is still in front of you rather than after.
Texas issues no statewide roofing license, so the meaningful checks are local. Holmes is registered with the City of San Antonio as HIC-24-00928, is a GAF Certified contractor, and carries General Liability and Workers’ Compensation coverage.
Ask us for the terms that apply to your specific project. The warranty terms we publish cover shingle and metal roof systems.
