    Not sure where you mean, Texas Gulf Coast is pretty long. Many cabin boats have some wood in them, and any marina that repairs boats 30' and larger will usually have some experience with wood repairs such as bulkhead, deck, stringer, and/or transom work. Call around to the marinas. If they don't have the skills in their own employees they might have subcontractors or wood shops they can refer you to.

    This place is near Houston, they say they do deck and transom repair work:

    This is a link to a Texas classic boat and car organization. They should know local resources for wood repair.
