Who We Are

Built by people who measure twice

We build decks and fix the ones other people got wrong. Most of the homeowners who call us have a deck that bounces when they walk across it, boards gone soft at the edges, or a railing that wiggles more than it should. Some just want a deck where there isn't one yet, somewhere to put a table and a grill. Either way you're trying to figure out if the person on the other end of the phone actually knows what's under the boards.

We check the ledger board flashing first, because that's where most rot starts, right where the deck meets the house. We set posts on footings sized for Fullerton's clay soil, not whatever got poured last time somebody was in a hurry. Joists get hung with structural screws and galvanized hangers, not toe-nailed in and hoped for. If we replace boards we match the gap so they still drain water instead of cupping and holding it.

5.0 from 100+ reviews
Our deck in Fullerton had a soft spot by the stairs for over a year, turned out one joist was basically gone. Fixed in a day, didn't have to rebuild the whole thing like I thought.

Pushed our start date back a week because of rain, which was annoying, but they called ahead instead of just not showing up. Deck looks like new now.

We're just outside Fullerton and our old wood deck was falling apart every summer. Composite boards went down fast, no more splinters for the kids.

Common Questions

Questions we get a lot

Questions people usually ask before calling a deck builder.

How much does a new deck cost in Fullerton?
A new deck in the Fullerton area typically runs from a few thousand dollars for a small ground-level platform to well over $20,000 for a large multi-level composite deck with railings and stairs. The biggest cost drivers are square footage, decking material (pressure-treated wood versus composite), height off the ground, and how much railing and stair work is involved.
Are you licensed and insured for deck construction?
Deck construction in California should always be done by a licensed contractor carrying general liability and workers' comp insurance, and certificates should be available on request. Deck framing ties directly into the house structure, so unlicensed work can create problems at resale or with insurance claims later.
How soon can a deck builder start my project?
Start times for deck projects usually depend on permit approval, which in Southern California can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on the city and the scope of the job. Smaller repair jobs that don't need a permit can often start much sooner, sometimes within the same week.
What areas does a Fullerton deck builder typically cover?
A deck builder based in Fullerton typically covers surrounding North Orange County cities including Anaheim, Brea, Yorba Linda, La Habra, Placentia, and Buena Park. A driving radius of 20 to 30 minutes from a home base is standard for most local deck contractors.
Do deck builders work on all types of homes?
Deck contractors generally work on single-family homes, townhomes, and some condos with HOA approval, as long as the existing structure can support the new framing. Older homes sometimes require extra work to tie a new deck ledger board into existing framing safely.
Will a deck contractor take on a small repair, or only full rebuilds?
Most established deck contractors handle a small repair like a single rotted joist or a loose railing just as readily as a full deck rebuild. Small repair jobs are often the easiest to schedule quickly since they don't require permits or large crews.
How do I get started with a deck quote?
Getting a deck quote usually starts with a phone call or a form describing the project, followed by an in-person visit to measure the space and check the ground conditions and any existing structure. Photos of the current deck or the area where a new one is planned speed up that first conversation.
What's typically included in a deck cost estimate?
A proper deck estimate breaks out lumber or composite material costs, fasteners and hardware, footing and foundation work, railing and stairs, permit fees, and labor separately. A vague one-line estimate that just says materials and labor makes it hard to compare quotes or know what you're actually paying for.
Do deck builders require a deposit before starting?
Most deck contractors require a deposit, often around 10 to 30 percent of the project cost, to cover material ordering before work begins. California law caps contractor deposits at $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract price, whichever is less, for most home improvement jobs.
What happens if it rains during deck construction?
Rain typically pauses deck framing and any staining or sealing work, since wet lumber doesn't take stain properly and wet conditions make footing excavation messy. A reliable contractor builds a few flexible days into the schedule for weather and communicates delays as soon as they're known.
