From Paramedic Partners to Decking Visionaries: The Hometown Decking & Decorative Concrete Story

Nov 16, 2023

Once upon a time in the bustling city of Austin, two paramedics crossed paths, not knowing that their shared future would be built from the ground up, quite literally. Michael and Meredith, now owners of the flourishing Hometown Decking and Decorative Concrete business, started their journey amidst the high stakes and fast pace of emergency medical services. It was here, in the heart of service and community, that their bond solidified, a prelude to a partnership that would extend beyond life-saving into life-enhancing — through the art of outdoor living.  Here is the Hometown Decking and Decorative Concrete story.

A Labor of Love
Michael, with a keen eye for detail and craftsmanship, envisioned a company that embodied the principles of quality and integrity. Meredith, with her unwavering support and business acumen, worked by his side as they embarked on a venture that was as much about building decks as it was about building dreams. Hometown Decking is more than a name; it is a commitment to bringing a touch of homegrown excellence to their beloved community.

Minivan on a Mission
The early days were a humble affair, with Michael driving a green Ford Taurus, its salvage title a testament to their gritty beginning. Windows rolled down, shovels jutting out, he was a man on a mission. Close behind, Meredith’s minivan was a spectacle of determination, loaded with ladders, lumber, and their children’s laughter, making each job site a family affair.

As time passed, their dedication began to shape the landscape around them. Where there was once an empty yard, now stood a deck, a testament to Hometown Decking’s craftsmanship and a foundation for family memories. Michael and Meredith, with their sleeves rolled up, were not just constructing decks; they were laying the planks of their own success story.

Today, the image of the Taurus and the minivan has been replaced by a fleet of vehicles, each one a moving promise of Hometown Decking’s commitment to quality. With an assistant, manager, project manager, and full crews, the business has grown exponentially. Yet, despite this growth, the essence of their mission remains unchanged — to perfect the art of outdoor living.

Building Decks and Dreams
With over 5,000 projects to their name and a future brimming with potential, Hometown Decking and Decorative Concrete story stands as a beacon of entrepreneurial spirit and hard-earned success. It’s not just the decks that have been crafted to perfection but the business itself. Michael and Meredith, who once navigated the unpredictability of life as paramedics, now navigate the challenges of business with the same passion and precision. As Hometown Decking and Decorative Concrete continues to expand, the couple looks forward to bringing more families together, one deck at a time. They have not only built a business; they’ve woven a tapestry of community and craftsmanship that will endure for generations. And as they turn their attention to your outdoor living project, rest assured, it comes with nearly two decades of partnership, excellence, and a story that inspires. So, whether you’re looking to transform your backyard into a serene retreat or the ultimate entertainment hub, remember that with Hometown Decking, you’re not just hiring builders; you’re becoming a part of a legacy — one that started with two paramedics with a vision, a Taurus, and a dream.

We are so happy with the service provided by Hometown Decking. They quoted us a reasonable price and when they completed the work we were so happy. Highly recommend.

This group was thoroughly professional from start to finish. Every question I had was answered. Thanks to them I am able to save an awesome shade tree as part of my deck
I only wish that I had another project for them to do. They created a perfect deck that will not require any maintenance. Other estimates would not even consider saving that tree.

I could not be happier with Hometown Decking, our new deck is fantastic! We ultimately went with Mike because gave us the best design advice and had the best price for a composite deck. We were on the calendar within a week of accepting the quote. Construction was finished within 2 days (the crew was like 10 guys!) After it was finished, they did a walkthrough with us and even sent out a guy to screw in the one screw that was sticking out near one of the posts. Great company, easy to work with, and they do an awesome job!
