We build and repair decks, that's the whole business, we don't split attention across kitchens and additions the way a general contractor does. Most people who find us are either planning a new deck from scratch or dealing with one that's started to fail underneath them. Deck work is one of the few parts of a house where you can see every board and every rail, so there's not much room to hide bad craftsmanship.
If you're on this page, there's a good chance you're looking at a deck with a soft spot near the stairs, a railing that wiggles when you lean on it, or boards that have gone gray and splintery. Those almost always trace back to a framing problem or a failed sealant, not something a single new board fixes. We get underneath the deck, check the ledger board, the joists, and the footings, and fix the actual cause before anything new goes down on top.
None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.
You're covered if something goes wrong on the job site, and we can give you certificates on request. That matters more with deck work than people think, since it involves ladders, power tools, and working above grade.
We break down lumber, hardware, and labor separately so you can see where the money goes. No surprise line items once the framing is up.
Most decks over 30 inches off grade need a permit and an inspection in San Diego County, and we deal with that process instead of leaving it to you. Skipping it can cause problems later when you go to sell the house.
We don't hand your job off to a rotating list of subcontractors. The person who cuts your stair stringers is the one who comes back if a board needs replacing.
National City sits close enough to the bay that standard deck screws can start rusting within a couple years. We spec stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware so the connections hold.
Weather and material delivery can push a schedule, but we tell you as soon as we know. We won't let you rearrange your weekend around a crew that doesn't show.
