Cedar & Pressure-Treated Decks Built for California Living

Wood decking is a top choice for those who love the natural look, rich texture, and authentic feel of real lumber. We build decks using high-quality cedar or pressure-treated pine, sourced for strength and appearance. Our team factors in sun exposure, drainage, and layout to ensure every board is installed with proper spacing, ventilation, and fasteners. We also apply long-lasting stains and sealers suited for California’s varied climate—from coastal fog to valley heat.

Traditional Aesthetic, Built with Modern Precision

What Sets Our Wood Decks Apart

We combine skilled craftsmanship with today’s best building practices. Our cedar decks are rot-resistant, dimensionally stable, and ideal for elevated or ground-level layouts. Pressure-treated decks are budget-friendly and strong—especially great for high-traffic spaces or large entertaining areas. With optional upgrades like custom railings, planters, and pergolas, your wood deck becomes more than a surface—it becomes an outdoor experience.

  • Real wood texture, color & warmth

  • Long-lasting sealers for weather resistance

  • Customizable with lighting, stairs & railings

Structurally Sound from Frame to Finish

Our wood decks are built on strong, pressure-treated substructures designed to last for decades. We account for soil movement, water runoff, and seismic safety in every installation. Boards are anchored with stainless screws or hidden fasteners to prevent splitting and enhance appearance. For hillside or sloped lots, we engineer deep footings and reinforced beams to ensure safety and long-term stability.

Protective Finishes That Keep Wood Looking Great

We use top-grade stains and sealers formulated for California conditions to extend the life of your wood deck. Cedar is naturally resistant to decay and insects, but with the right coating, it stays rich and vibrant for years. Pressure-treated decks receive oil-based or water-repellent sealers that block UV damage and moisture penetration. Want a specific tint or tone? We offer transparent, semi-transparent, and solid finishes to match your home’s exterior.
