Our Story

What we actually do all day

We build and repair decks around Madera, working on everything from a first deck off a new patio slab to fixing framing another contractor left too shallow. Most of what we do comes down to wood, weight and water: getting the frame strong enough, and keeping water off the parts that rot first.

If you're on this page, you've probably got a deck that's started to sag, gray, or feel soft underfoot, or you're staring at a bare yard wondering what a deck would even cost. Either way, the thing that decides how long the job lasts is what happens at the ledger board and the footings, the two spots nobody sees once the boards go down. We flash the ledger and set footings below the depth this valley's clay soil actually needs, so the deck you get isn't fighting the ground or your house for the next decade.

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 insurance a deck job actually needs, since crews are on ladders and around power tools near your house. Ask and we'll show you certificates before we start.

Permits & Code

Madera County has specific rules on guardrail height, baluster spacing and footing depth, and we build to them, not around them. Skipping a permit might save a week now but it can cost you at resale.

Clean Job Site

Deck demo leaves a mess of old boards, screws and sawdust, and we don't leave that sitting in your yard overnight. Nails get swept up before we leave so your dog or your kids aren't the ones who find them.

Written Quotes

You'll see lumber grade, fastener type and square footage on paper before we cut a single board. If something changes mid-job, we talk price before we do the work, not after.

Own Crew

The people who frame your deck are the same people who finish it, so nothing gets lost between trades. That matters on a deck, where one bad ledger connection undoes everything built on top of it.

Local to Madera

We've seen what a Madera summer does to untreated wood, and what expansive clay soil does to a footing that wasn't poured deep enough. That's the kind of thing you only learn by working in this specific ground and climate.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about who's doing the work and how we handle it.

How long have you been building decks?
Deck construction and repair experience covers everything from small residential repairs to full custom builds. Specific details on years in business can be discussed directly when requesting a quote.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
Deck framing, decking installation and railing work get handled by the same crew from start to finish rather than being split between multiple subcontractors. That keeps one team accountable for how the ledger, footings and final boards all tie together.
Can I see photos of decks you've built?
Photos of completed deck projects can be shared during the estimate or found through the business's online listings. Seeing a few finished jobs is a reasonable thing to ask for before hiring any deck contractor.
Why hire a smaller deck builder instead of a big remodeling company?
A smaller deck-focused contractor typically shows up to the job personally rather than sending a rotating crew managed from an office elsewhere. That usually means fewer miscommunications about what was actually quoted versus what gets built.
Where are you based?
This deck building business is based in Madera, California, and serves surrounding Central Valley towns within about a 50-mile drive.
How far out are you booking new deck projects?
Scheduling varies by season, with spring and early summer typically busier for new deck builds. Calling early for a quote holds a spot on the schedule sooner rather than waiting until peak season.
Do you clean up the site after a deck job?
Old decking, cutoffs, packaging and fasteners get cleared from the yard as part of every job, not left for the homeowner to haul off. Daily cleanup during the build keeps nails and scrap lumber away from kids or pets.
What happens if something gets damaged on my property during the work?
A licensed and insured deck contractor carries coverage for accidental property damage during construction, whether that's a sprinkler line hit while digging a footing or damage to landscaping. That coverage should be confirmed before work starts, not after something happens.
Will you finish a deck that another contractor started or left unfinished?
Taking over a deck that another contractor left partway through is a job that comes up fairly often. The first step is checking whether the existing footings and framing meet code before building on top of what's already there.
How can I tell if my deck is being built correctly?
Correct deck construction means joists spaced according to the span and load, a properly flashed ledger board, footings set below the frost or heave depth for the local soil, and railings meeting code height and baluster spacing. Asking a contractor to walk through these points before the boards go down is a reasonable way to check the work.
