Custom Deck Builder: Materials & Methods

We help you compare look, upkeep, and lifespan—then lock selections in writing.

  • Redwood/Cedar — warm, natural appearance; seasonal care
  • Composite (Trex/TimberTech) — low maintenance, color-stable; hidden fasteners
  • Rails — metal or composite systems with code-compliant spacing
  • Hardware — corrosion-resistant connectors/fasteners
  • Finishes — LED stair/rail lighting, fascia/trim, benches, privacy screens

Deck Construction Standards (Built to Code)

  • Ledger & flashing — through-bolted ledger with continuous, sealed flashing
  • Sized structure — posts, beams, and footings engineered for span, load, and soil
  • Framing precision — correct joist spacing (12–16" O.C.) and solid blocking at rail posts
  • Moisture management — end-grain sealing; joist protection membranes on composite/PVC, flashing detail at connection points
  • Stairs & rails — true rise/run, graspable handrails, anchored guard posts
  • Surface finish — hidden fasteners, picture-frame borders, breaker boards
  • Site care — protected siding/landscaping; tidy jobsite daily
  • Compliance & warranty — permitted, inspection-ready builds with photo documentation and workmanship warranty

Reviews: What Sacramento Homeowners Say

Frequently Asked Questions

1Do I need a permit?
Most structural deck projects require one. We prepare plans, submit, and manage inspections.
2How long does a project take?
Typical builds run from several days to a few weeks depending on size, complexity, materials, and weather. You’ll get a schedule in writing.
3Can you resurface my existing deck?
If the framing is sound and meets code, yes. We’ll verify during the site walk and advise on best value.
4Which material should I choose?
Redwood is a great value with seasonal care. Composites (Trex/TimberTech) and PVC reduce maintenance and offer longer color stability—ideal for busy households or shaded/wet areas.
5What’s covered by warranty?
We provide a workmanship warranty; manufacturers offer separate product warranties. We’ll review both at handoff.
