What holds a deck up

Every deck is a stack of parts. When one fails, the ones above it feel it.

Common questions

Do I need a permit?

Most new decks and many rebuilds need a building permit from your city or county, and HOAs often want to approve plans first. We help you work out what applies before work starts.

Wood or composite?

Pressure-treated wood costs less up front and needs regular sealing. Composite costs more up front and needs less upkeep. We will price both so you can compare.

Can you repair just part of my deck?

Often yes. Replacing boards, railings or stairs is common. We check the structure first so you know what you are building on.
