Who We Are

We Show Up and We Build

We design, build and repair decks for homeowners all over San Diego County, from a simple ground-level platform to a two-story deck stacked over a garage. Most people who call us have one of two problems: the deck they've got is starting to sag, splinter or pull away from the house, or they don't have a deck yet and don't know where to start. Either way, you're trying to figure out who to trust with lumber, fasteners and a permit, not just someone who shows up with a truck.

We check the ledger board connection first, because that's where most deck failures start, water gets behind the flashing and rots the rim joist before anyone notices. We set footings below the depth code calls for and size the beams and joists for the actual load, not just what looks right. Composite or real wood, we space the boards for drainage and seasonal movement, so the deck still looks straight in five summers.

Had a soft spot near our stairs in Santee and figured the whole deck was shot. Turned out just two joists were rotted, fixed in a day.

Switched from redwood to composite at our place in San Diego, no more sanding every spring. Took an extra week waiting on the board color we wanted, but they kept us posted.

Our deck in Encinitas was gray and cracking from the sun. Looks like new wood again after they stripped and resealed it.

Common Questions

Questions we get a lot

Questions people usually ask before they call.

How much does a new deck cost in San Diego?
A new deck in San Diego typically runs $35 to $70 per square foot depending on material, with pressure-treated wood on the low end and composite decking with custom railings on the high end. A straightforward 300 square foot deck often lands between $12,000 and $25,000, while multi-level or hillside decks requiring engineered footings cost more.
Are you licensed and insured?
A licensed deck builder in California carries a C-13 or B general contractor license along with liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. Ask to see current certificates before signing a contract, and a legitimate contractor will hand them over without hesitation.
How soon can you start my deck project?
Start times for deck projects depend on permit approval and current workload, but most homeowners can expect a start date within two to six weeks of signing a contract. Permit review through San Diego County can add one to three weeks on top of that for larger or raised decks.
What areas do you cover?
Deck builders based in San Diego typically serve the surrounding county, including Chula Vista, Oceanside, Escondido, Carlsbad, El Cajon and nearby communities within about a 50 mile radius. Confirm your specific address falls within the service area before scheduling an estimate.
Do you work on condos and townhomes, or just single-family homes?
Deck builders generally work on single-family homes, townhomes and condos, though condo and HOA properties often require additional approval from a homeowners association before work begins. Multi-unit properties may also need shared wall or load considerations that a single-family deck doesn't.
Will you take on a small repair job, or only full deck builds?
Most deck contractors handle small repairs like replacing a few rotted boards or tightening a loose railing, not just full builds. A small repair might only take a few hours, so it's worth asking rather than assuming the job is too minor.
How do I get started with a deck project?
Getting started usually means scheduling an in-person estimate so the contractor can see the yard, the slope, and how the deck will attach to the house. A written quote covering materials, framing and timeline typically follows before any work is scheduled.
What factors affect the final price of a deck?
The biggest factors affecting deck cost are square footage, decking material, the height of the deck above grade, and whether the site needs engineered footings for a slope. Railings, built-in seating, stairs and multiple levels all add to labor and material costs beyond the base framing.
Do you require a deposit before starting work?
Most deck contractors require a deposit, commonly 10 to 30 percent of the total contract price, to cover initial material orders before framing begins. California law caps down payments at 10 percent of the contract price or $1,000, whichever is less, for most home improvement contracts.
What happens if it rains during my deck build?
Rain can pause concrete footing pours and delay staining or sealing, since both need dry conditions to cure or set properly. Framing work can often continue in light rain, but most contractors reschedule heavier work days and communicate updated timelines as weather clears.
