Add a shaded place to gather, update your kitchen or build more room into your Bastrop home. Ambassador Construction offers remodeling, additions, outdoor living projects and new construction, with design services to help you get started.
Fisherman's Park and the June Hill Pape Riverwalk offer places to enjoy Bastrop's Colorado River setting. The Riverwalk connects the park with Ferry Park near downtown. At home, your outdoor space can be as simple or as involved as the way you want to use it.
Make a deck, patio cover or outdoor kitchen work for you
Begin with the activities you want to make room for. A dining table, a few lounge chairs and an outdoor kitchen each take up space beyond their footprint. Allow for chairs being pulled out, people passing through and a practical route to the house.
Think about when you will use the area and where shade is needed at those times. A patio cover or pergola affects the feel of the space differently, so discuss the kind of shelter you want. Doors, windows, rooflines and posts also influence how the new area connects to the house.
Bring up drainage early. Note where water already collects or runs during rain, without assuming a new deck or cover will resolve it. If cooking is part of the plan, list the equipment you want and discuss any power, water or fuel connections it may need. Their availability and routing need to be reviewed for the property.
Ambassador can help develop the layout and material choices through its design services. Reviewing seating, shade, access and equipment together gives the estimate a practical starting point and helps avoid choosing a size before you know what needs to fit.

Questions about your construction project
What is useful to prepare before a design consultation?
Bring your priorities, any existing plans and examples of the look or features you like. For an outdoor project, list the furniture and cooking equipment you want to accommodate. Our design process starts with your ideas and an assessment of the site.
Can you work with plans I already have?
Yes. Ambassador Construction can build from existing plans or help develop a new design. Bring the plans and explain any changes you would like to discuss.
How is my construction estimate calculated?
We review each project individually, considering its complexity and your preferences, to prepare a detailed quote. Pricing reflects the proposed work and current material costs.
What deposit is normally required?
We typically require a 10% deposit, with the remaining balance paid according to project milestones.
How long is a written estimate valid?
Our written estimates are typically valid for 30 days. We notify customers of material-cost changes before proceeding.
What happens if I change the project?
Changes are documented with updated written pricing and approved by the customer before proceeding.
What happens if you uncover unexpected damage?
We document unexpected damage with photos and provide a revised estimate before additional repairs. Updated work and pricing require customer approval before we proceed.
Does the quote include removal and disposal?
Removal and disposal are generally included in our quoted price unless otherwise specified.
