A good deck is where summer actually happens. Morning coffee, the kids underfoot, dinner that runs long because nobody wants to head inside yet. We design and build custom decks in cedar, redwood, pressure-treated lumber, and low-maintenance composite, made to take Humboldt weather and years of real use.
A deck isn't really about boards and joists. It's the part of your house that doesn't have walls, the spot you drift out to on the first warm evening of the year and end up staying on past dark. So we start every deck by asking how you actually want to live out there, then build backward from the life you picture on it.
That comfort only lasts if the structure does, so under the part you enjoy we put the part that earns its keep: real concrete footings sized for the load, code-correct flashing where the deck meets the house, and hardware rated for salt air. The finished surface gets hidden fasteners or color-matched screws so it looks clean, but it's the work underneath that lets you trust the deck for a long time, not just the first season.
Pricing varies by project size and material, but the scope below is standard. We don't unbundle the parts that protect the house.
Layout, dimensions, railing style, and material selection. We pull permits where required and handle the inspection coordination.
Concrete piers sized for the load, dug below frost line, and connected with code-correct hardware. The part you don't see is the part that matters.
Pressure-treated framing with corrosion-resistant fasteners. Joist spacing matched to the deck board you've picked. Ledger properly flashed to the house.
Composite, cedar, redwood, or PT, fastened with hidden clips or color-matched screws depending on the product. Edges and ends sealed where appropriate.
Code-compliant railings (42" for elevated decks, 36" for low ones), stair stringers cut precisely, and balusters installed plumb.
Stain or seal where applicable, final cleanup, and a walk-through with you to confirm the deck is solid in every direction.
A multi-level deck built on concrete piers with pressure-treated joists, corrosion-resistant hardware, and low-maintenance composite boards. The substructure photo shows the part most homeowners never see: proper pier placement, joist spacing matched to the board, and ledger hardware sized for the load. That hidden work is what decides how many summers the deck gives you.
