Every job below is one we do ourselves across Roseville.
We frame and build new decks from the footings up, sized and spaced for the loads you'll actually put on them. You pick the layout and the decking material, and we handle the permit drawings if your deck needs one.
Soft or spongy boards, a wobbly railing, stairs that have started to pull away, we fix all of it. Most repair calls turn into a quick look at the framing underneath, since a rotted board is often a sign the joist under it has been sitting wet.
We pressure wash the boards, let them dry down, then apply a penetrating stain or sealer depending on the wood and how much sun your deck gets. Roseville summers are hard on exposed wood, and a deck that goes two or three years without a reseal usually shows it in cupped or silvering boards.
If you want multiple levels, built-in benches, a pergola over part of the deck, or stairs on two sides, we draw it out before we cut anything. We size the beams and footings to the actual design instead of a standard span table.
Composite boards like Trex or TimberTech don't need staining and won't splinter or rot, which matters if you don't want a yearly maintenance job. The framing underneath still matters just as much, composite just moves the maintenance cost from the surface to doing the structure right the first time.
This is the part under the boards, the joists, beams, posts and footings that actually hold the deck up. If your ledger board has pulled away from the house, a post base has rotted out, or the whole deck has started to feel springy, this is the fix, and it usually has to happen before any surface work.
We build and repair railings to current guard rail height and baluster spacing, which matters more than people think once kids or a dog are running around up there. A loose top rail is almost always a sign the posts weren't bolted into the framing in the first place.
If the frame underneath is still solid, we can strip off the old decking and replace just the boards, which costs a lot less than tearing the whole thing out. We'll tell you honestly if the framing's not worth building on top of before we quote this one.
Old decks get hauled off board by board, nails and all, including any concrete footings you want gone. We check first whether the framing can be reused, since there's no reason to pay to demo something that's still structurally sound.
We build pergolas and shade structures attached to or built into a deck, so you get a spot out of the direct sun without screening in the whole thing. These tie into the same posts and beams as the deck below, so they need to be planned for load at the same time, not bolted on after the fact.
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.
