Our Story

Why We Do This For a Living

We build and repair decks for homeowners around Folsom, and most of what we know came from crawling under decks other people built and figuring out why they failed. You call us when a deck feels off, whether that's a board that flexes, a rail that shifts, or stairs that don't quite sit right anymore.

The failure we see most is a ledger board bolted straight to the house with no flashing behind it, so water gets in and rots the rim joist you can't see from the yard. We flash every ledger connection with self-adhering membrane and set the right lag or through-bolt pattern for the load, so the spot where your deck meets your house isn't the spot where it fails again in five years.

Why Choose Us

What you get when you hire us

None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.

Licensed & Insured

We carry the licensing and insurance deck construction actually requires, and we can send certificates before we start. If a beam gets dropped on a fence or someone gets hurt on the job, that's on our policy, not yours.

Permit Handling

Sacramento County and the City of Folsom both require permits for most elevated decks, and we handle that paperwork ourselves. We schedule the framing inspection before the boards go on, so nothing gets covered up that an inspector needs to see.

Clean Job Sites

Deck demo leaves splintered wood and stripped screws all over a yard, and we bag it up and haul it out at the end of each day. You won't be finding deck screws in your lawnmower a month later.

Written Quotes

Every quote breaks down square footage, decking material, hardware and labor as separate line items. You'll know what composite actually costs against pressure-treated before you commit to either.

Reliable Scheduling

Weather and material backorders can push a start date, and when that happens we call instead of letting you wonder. Most decks run two to three weeks from demo to final board, and we tell you where you stand in that window.

Local Crew

Folsom summers sit in the hundreds for weeks at a stretch, and that UV bakes cheap composite and untreated wood fast. We pick materials and fastening systems built for that heat instead of warping by year two.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

What people usually want to know before hiring us specifically.

How long has this company been building decks?
Deck construction and repair make up the core of the work done day to day, rather than a side offering alongside other trades. That focus keeps a crew current on decking materials and fastening methods as they change.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
Deck framing and carpentry are typically handled by an in-house crew rather than subcontracted out. Electrical work for deck lighting or a larger footing pour may involve a licensed subcontractor when that specialty is required.
Can I see examples of decks you've built?
Photos of completed deck projects, including framing shots taken before the decking goes on, can be shared during the estimate visit. Framing photos matter more than finished photos for judging whether the structural work underneath was done properly.
Why hire a smaller deck builder instead of a large remodeling company?
A smaller deck-focused crew tends to be more available for the walkthrough, mid-project questions, and the final punch list than a large remodeling company juggling multiple trades. Deck-specific experience also means fewer surprises with span tables, flashing details and local permit requirements.
Where is this business based?
Deck installation and repair is based near Folsom, CA and serves the surrounding Sacramento-area communities. Being local means shorter response times for warranty callbacks and repair visits.
How far out are you booked?
Availability shifts with the season, with spring and early summer typically booked further out than fall and winter. A current estimate on start dates is given at the time of the first call or walkthrough.
Will the job site be cleaned up each day?
Lumber scraps, sawdust and stripped screws get cleared from the work area at the end of each work day, not left for the end of the project. Dumpster or debris trailer placement is discussed ahead of time so it doesn't block a driveway longer than necessary.
What happens if something gets damaged during the deck project?
General liability insurance covers accidental damage to a house, fence or landscaping that happens during deck construction. Any damage is reported and addressed directly rather than left for the homeowner to discover later.
Will you finish a deck that another contractor started or walked away from?
Picking up a deck project left mid-build by another contractor is common, though the existing framing gets inspected first to see what's salvageable versus what needs to come out. That inspection gets factored into the new quote before work resumes.
How can I tell if deck work is being done correctly?
Footing depth, joist hanger hardware, ledger flashing and railing height are all things worth asking to see before decking boards cover them up. A contractor willing to show that work, or schedule it around a permit inspection, is generally doing it right.
