Our Story

How We Ended Up Doing This

We build and repair decks for homeowners across Anaheim and the nearby cities, and most of what we know came from crawling under decks other people built first. Some of that work was solid. A lot of it wasn't, ledger boards lag-bolted straight into stucco with no flashing, joists spaced too far apart to carry real weight.

If you're on this page, chances are your deck's got a soft spot, a rotted post, or a railing that moves when you lean on it, and you want to know if it's a quick fix or a bigger problem. We pull back the decking at the trouble spot before quoting anything, because what's wrong on top doesn't always match what's wrong underneath. Every repair or rebuild gets proper flashing at the ledger and galvanized or stainless hardware throughout, since that's usually where the original deck failed.

Why Choose Us

What you get when you hire us

None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.

Licensed & Insured

You can ask for our license and insurance certificates before you sign anything. If a ladder falls through your fence or a board gets damaged, that's on our policy, not your homeowner's claim.

Permit-Ready Plans

Anaheim requires a permit for most decks over 30 inches off grade, and skipping that step can come back to bite you at resale. We draw the plans to code and schedule the inspections ourselves.

Clean Job Sites

Old joists, torn-up decking boards, and cut-offs go in our trailer at the end of each day, not a pile in your side yard. We sweep the concrete and check the lawn for stray screws before we call a job done.

Written Itemized Quotes

We itemize the quote so you can see what composite decking costs against pressure-treated pine, and what the railing adds on top. No surprise line items once the framing's already up.

We Show Up On Time

Deck jobs in Anaheim rarely get rained out, so weather delays aren't the excuse they'd be elsewhere. If a lumber order runs late, we tell you the day we find out, not the day you notice we're not there.

Decking Material Options

Some homeowners want the grain of real redwood and don't mind resealing it every couple years. Others want Trex or TimberTech so they never touch a stain brush again, and we install both the same way.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about who we are and how we work.

How long have you been building decks?
Experience in deck construction covers both new builds and repair work on decks originally built by other contractors, which tends to surface a wider range of framing and hardware problems than new construction alone. That repair experience directly informs how new decks get built to avoid the same failures.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
Deck construction is typically handled by a dedicated crew familiar with the specific framing and flashing methods used on every job, rather than rotating subcontractors unfamiliar with prior work. Consistency in crew tends to mean fewer miscommunications about spec or material choice mid-project.
Can I see photos of decks you've built before?
Photos of completed deck projects, including framing shots taken before the decking boards go down, are typically available on request. Framing photos in particular are useful since they show details like joist hanger placement and footing depth that aren't visible once the deck is finished.
Why hire a smaller deck builder instead of a large remodeling company?
A smaller deck-focused contractor often means direct contact with the person actually managing the job rather than being routed through office staff and project managers layered between the homeowner and the crew. Specialization in decks also tends to mean deeper familiarity with local decking code than a general remodeler covers as one service among many.
Where are you based?
Deck building and repair service is based in Anaheim, CA, and covers surrounding Orange County cities within roughly a 50 mile radius.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Scheduling lead time for a new deck build typically runs two to four weeks out depending on current workload and whether a permit needs approval first. Repair work usually has more flexible scheduling and can often be fit in sooner than a full new build.
Do you clean up the job site when you're done?
Job site cleanup after deck construction includes hauling away scrap lumber, cut-offs, and packaging material, plus a sweep for stray screws or nails in the surrounding lawn or concrete. A finished site should look like the surrounding yard was never a construction zone, aside from the new deck itself.
What happens if something gets damaged on my property during construction?
Contractor liability insurance covers accidental property damage during deck construction, such as a fence panel or sprinkler line damaged during footing excavation. Confirming current insurance coverage before work starts is a reasonable request for any homeowner.
Will you finish a deck another contractor started?
Taking over a deck project that another contractor left unfinished is possible, though it starts with an inspection of the existing framing to confirm it meets code and was built correctly before continuing. Sometimes framing has to be partially redone if joist spacing or footing depth doesn't meet the standard required to build on top of it safely.
How can I tell if the deck work is being done correctly?
Correct deck construction shows in details like joist spacing at 16 inches on center, galvanized or stainless hardware throughout, proper ledger flashing tied into the house's water barrier, and footings poured below grade to code depth. Asking to see these details before the decking boards go down, rather than after, is the easiest way to confirm quality mid-project.
