Our Deck Building Process

Every project starts with a site visit and in-depth consultation. We'll walk your property, discuss your needs, and offer practical design options based on your lot and budget. From there, we provide a detailed estimate, create 3D renderings, and submit plans for permits. Once approved, construction begins—handled entirely by our licensed California crew. You’ll get regular updates, clean job sites, and a walkthrough at completion.

Materials That Last on Every Level

Wood & Composite Options for Multi-Level Decks

We offer multiple material choices tailored for multi-level builds. Choose from composite brands like Trex or TimberTech for minimal upkeep and modern aesthetics, or go with cedar or pressure-treated wood for natural warmth and cost efficiency.
