Specialty
Decks, patio covers and outdoor structures
Design-build Decks & Patios for homeowners across Southern California, handled by one in-house team from drawings to final inspection.
Decks & Patios, in short
Outdoor structures are permitted construction with footings, load paths and inspections, not landscaping. The failures you see on aging decks trace back to somebody treating them as furniture.
Elevated decks are structural work
Ledger attachment, footings, joist sizing and guardrail loads are engineered items, and ledger failure is the classic catastrophic deck defect. California's inspection regime for elevated elements on multi-family buildings exists precisely because of it. We build to that standard on every deck, single-family included.
Shade structures carry real loads
A patio cover takes wind load, sometimes carries electrical and fans, and attaches to your house at a connection that has to be flashed correctly or it becomes a leak. Permitted, footed and engineered, then it lasts decades.
Material choice is a maintenance decision
Wood is beautiful and wants refinishing on a schedule; composite costs more up front and asks almost nothing after. In full sun inland, surface temperature and UV stability matter as much as looks. We will tell you honestly how each option ages here, not in the brochure's climate.

Common questions
Decks & Patios, what to expect
- Do you provide a written scope before work starts?
- Always. The proposal lists what is included, what is excluded, the materials allowance and the payment schedule. Nothing starts on a handshake.
- Who pulls the permit?
- We do, as the licensed contractor of record. You are not filing anything with the city yourself.
- What happens if something unexpected turns up mid-project?
- Older homes hide things, undersized panels, failed framing, non-permitted prior work. When we find something, work stops on that item, we show you what we found and price the fix as a written change order before continuing.
