A good deck is the most-used room of the house for half the year. A bad one is a safety problem. We build new decks, repair and rebuild old ones, and replace stairs and railings for homes across the Sacramento area, the foothills and Truckee.
Deck Services
New Deck Construction
Ground-level and raised decks, designed around how you use the space, how the yard drains and how the deck ties into the house. You get a drawing, a material choice and a written, fixed-price scope before we start.
Deck Repair and Rebuilds
Soft or rotted boards, loose framing, failing posts and footings, and decks pulling away from the house. We open it up, show you what we find with photos, and repair what can be saved or rebuild what can't.
Stairs and Railings
Wobbly railings and worn stairs are the most common deck safety problems we see. We replace them with solid, code-compliant stairs, landings and railings in wood, composite or metal.
Covered Patios and Pergolas
Patio covers and pergolas that add shade and stretch the outdoor season, built to match the house and attached the right way so they do not cause leaks or rot.
Deck Refinishing
If the structure is sound, sanding, staining and sealing can add years to a wood deck. We replace any bad boards first so the finish goes on a deck that will last.
Decking Materials
- Pressure-treated wood: the most affordable choice, strong, and easy to stain
- Redwood or cedar: natural wood with a classic look that weathers well when maintained
- Composite (such as Trex): low maintenance, no staining, and no splinters
- Fire-rated decking: ignition-resistant materials for homes in wildfire areas
We walk you through the trade-offs in cost, upkeep and lifespan so you can choose what fits the house and your budget.
Decks in Wildfire Areas
A deck is one of the easiest places for embers to start a fire at a house. For foothill and Sierra homes, we build and rebuild decks with fire-rated decking, close in the space underneath, and keep the area next to the house clear of anything that burns. It fits right into our wildfire home hardening work.
Signs Your Deck Needs Work
- Boards that feel soft or bounce when you walk on them
- Railings or stairs that move when you lean on them
- Rot at posts, joists or where the deck meets the house
- Rusted hardware, popped nails or loose screws
- Finish that is gone and wood that is cracking or gray
Permits and Inspections
Many deck projects need a building permit, especially raised decks, new decks and covered structures. We tell you up front whether yours does, pull the permit, and schedule the city or county inspections.
How It Works
- Call or send the form. We set a time to look at the deck or the space.
- We inspect and measure, and photograph what we find. The estimate is free.
- You get a written, fixed-price scope with material options.
- We pull permits if needed, build or repair the deck, and clean up every day.
- Final walkthrough and before-and-after photos for your records.
Apartment owners and HOAs: for balconies, decks and walkways listed in an inspection report, see our SB 721 and SB 326 balcony repair page.
