Every job below is one we do ourselves across Huntington Beach.
We build new decks from the footings up, sized and framed to the load you actually plan to put on them, furniture, a hot tub, a crowd at a barbecue. We can work in pressure-treated lumber, cedar, or composite decking, and we'll walk through the tradeoffs of each before you decide.
Soft or spongy boards, a railing that shifts when you lean on it, a joist that's cracked or rotted where it meets the ledger. We replace what's actually failed and leave the sound lumber alone instead of rebuilding the whole deck when it doesn't call for it.
Sun and salt air bleach and dry out wood fast on this stretch of coast. We pressure-wash, let the boards dry fully, then apply a stain or sealer rated for UV and moisture, usually every one to two years depending on sun exposure.
Multi-level decks, built-in benches, a pergola over part of the space, whatever the yard and the slope call for. We draw it out and price it before any lumber gets ordered.
Composite boards don't splinter, don't require restaining, and hold up better against salt air than most wood species. We install brands like Trex and TimberTech with hidden fastener systems so you don't see a single screw head on the surface.
Loose posts, missing balusters, or a railing height that won't pass inspection. We rebuild to current code spacing, which matters most if you've got small kids or you're getting ready to sell.
If the frame underneath is still solid, we can replace just the decking boards and railing instead of tearing the whole structure out. It's a faster job and costs a lot less than a full rebuild.
We tear out old decks, pull every nail and fastener, and haul the debris off. This is usually the first step before a rebuild, but we'll do it as a standalone job too.
Shade structures, louvered covers, or a simple pergola attached to an existing deck. These add usable outdoor space without the cost of a full room addition.
Rotted joists, an undersized beam, footings that have shifted or settled. This is the part of the deck nobody sees, and it's the part that decides whether the deck is safe to stand on.
Four steps, and no surprises in any of them.
You tell us what you want doing, we look at what is actually there, and we ask the awkward questions early.
In writing, itemised, free. If something might add cost later we flag it now rather than at the end.
Same crew throughout. We cover your floors, keep the dust down and tidy up before we leave each day.
You point out anything you are not happy with and we fix it before the invoice, not after.
Deck work happens throughout these Orange County communities.
Questions that come up once a deck project actually gets underway.
Describe the problem and we will tell you what it probably is. No obligation.
