What We Do

Our Services

A look at the deck work we handle most, from full builds to fixing a rotten board.

New deck built from the footings up, sized to your yard and how you actually use it.

Soft boards, wobbly stairs, sagging joists, fixed before they get worse.

Deck Staining & Sealing

Protect the wood you already have from sun and winter rain.

Custom Deck Design

Multi-level layouts and stairs planned for how your lot actually slopes.

Composite Decking Installation

Low-maintenance boards that won't need staining every couple years.

Deck Railing Repair & Installation

Solid railings that pass inspection and don't wobble when you lean on them.

Who We Are

Straight talk about your deck

We build, repair, and stain decks for homeowners around El Dorado Hills and the towns nearby. Most people find us because something's wrong with the deck they've already got, a soft board, a railing that shifts when you lean on it, or wood that's turned gray and rough underfoot. Some come to us wanting a bigger deck than the one that came with the house, sized for the way their family actually uses the backyard.

We check the framing before we touch anything on the surface, because a soft spot is almost always a wet joist underneath, not just a bad board. Railings get through-bolted to the rim joist, not just screwed to a post, which is where most of the wobble comes from in the first place. On new builds we size beams and footings for the actual load and the actual slope of your lot instead of using one layout for every yard. That's the difference between a deck that's still solid in five years and one that isn't.

Our deck out in Cameron Park hadn't been stained in years, gray as driftwood. Two coats later it looks like actual wood again.

Found rot in a joist I didn't even know was bad. Had to push the start date back a few days for material but they called before I even noticed.

Railing on our place in El Dorado Hills was loose for a year. Turned out the posts weren't bolted right, fixed in an afternoon.

Common Questions

Questions we get a lot

Common questions before you book a deck estimate.

Do you charge for estimates?
Estimates for deck projects are free and typically done as an in-person site visit, since footing placement and lot slope affect the quote more than square footage alone. Expect the visit to take 30 to 45 minutes, with a written quote following within a few days.
Are you licensed and insured to build decks in California?
Deck construction in California requires a C-13 or general B contractor license depending on scope, and liability insurance covers the homeowner if something is damaged during the build. Ask any deck contractor for their license number and certificate of insurance before signing a contract.
How soon can you start a deck project?
Start dates depend on the season and how much lumber or composite decking needs to be ordered ahead of time. Spring and early summer book up fastest in the Sacramento foothills, so getting on the schedule in winter usually means a shorter wait.
What areas do you build decks in?
Deck installation and repair service typically covers El Dorado Hills and nearby towns such as Folsom, Cameron Park, Placerville, and Rancho Cordova, generally within about a 50-mile radius. Confirm coverage for a specific address by calling directly.
Do you work on decks at rental properties or only owner-occupied homes?
Deck contractors generally work on rental properties, vacation homes, and primary residences alike, since the framing and code requirements don't change based on who lives there. Landlords should be present or reachable for the initial site walk to confirm scope and budget.
Will you take on a small job like fixing a few boards?
Small repairs such as replacing a handful of deck boards, resetting a post, or tightening a railing are common jobs for most deck contractors, not just full rebuilds. There's often a minimum trip charge for very small repairs since a site visit and material run take time regardless of job size.
How do I get started on a deck project?
Call to describe the deck problem or the new build you're picturing, and a site visit gets scheduled to measure the space and check the ground conditions. A written quote follows that visit, usually within a few days.
What does a new deck typically cost?
Deck cost is driven mainly by square footage, decking material such as pressure-treated lumber versus composite, height off the ground, and how many stairs or railings are involved. A simple ground-level deck runs less per square foot than a raised, multi-level deck with built-in seating or a pergola.
Do you require a deposit before starting work?
Most deck contractors require a deposit to order lumber, composite decking, or footing materials before work begins, with the balance due at completion or in stages for larger projects. California law caps deposits at 10% of the contract price or $1,000, whichever is less, for most home improvement contracts.
What happens if it rains during my deck build?
Framing and footing work can usually continue through light rain, but pouring concrete footings and staining or sealing decking both need dry conditions to cure or bond properly. A rain delay typically pushes the schedule by a day or two rather than derailing the whole project.
