Custom Deck Design & Construction in California

More Than a Deck — It’s Your Personal Outdoor Escape

Every Custom Deck Starts with Purpose & Precision

We don't believe in cookie-cutter builds. Every project begins with a collaborative consultation to understand how you live, entertain, and relax. From there, we tailor the deck layout, elevation, materials, and features to your property’s dimensions, sun exposure, and viewlines. Our CAD renderings allow you to see your deck before we build it—down to the last board. Whether you're building new or upgrading an existing space, we ensure every detail fits your life.

Style That Matches Your Home, Function That Fits Your Life

Design Expertise for Elevated Outdoor Living

From hillside overlooks in Los Angeles to narrow backyards in San Francisco, our team knows how to design around California’s diverse terrain. We build decks that enhance your views, provide shade where needed, and create effortless flow between your interior and exterior living spaces. Choose from cedar, composite, or pressure-treated lumber—and customize every detail, including lighting, staircases, railings, pergolas, and built-in seating.

Long-Term Strength Begins with Smart Framing

Structurally Engineered Decks That Last Decades

Every custom deck is framed for durability using pressure-treated joists, stainless hardware, and code-compliant footings. We account for seismic movement, water drainage, and soil conditions across California to prevent sagging, warping, and rot. Whether your site is level, sloped, or hillside, we build with the structural integrity that’s needed in wildfire zones, marine air environments, and high-traffic settings. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your deck is built to handle decades of sun, storms, and life.
