We build and repair decks around Placerville and the surrounding foothills, working with homeowners who either want a new deck built to fit an oddly sloped yard, or want an existing one repaired before someone falls through it. Most of us got into this trade doing framing and rough carpentry, and decks turned out to be the part of the work where the details actually matter, right down to the last stair tread.
The thing people usually worry about is whether a deck that looks fine today is quietly rotting at the ledger board or the post bases. We check those spots first on every repair, because that's where water sits and wood fails, long before the surface boards show any sign of trouble. On new builds, we flash the ledger, bolt it instead of just nailing it, and set footings below frost depth so the deck doesn't shift or crack loose from the house in a few years.
None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.
We carry the coverage this trade requires, and we'll show you the certificate before we start, not after you ask twice.
County inspectors look at ledger flashing, guardrail height and stair rise first, and we build to pass that inspection the first time, not the second.
Deck framing generates a lot of cut-offs and packaging, and we bag and haul it daily instead of letting it pile up by the fence.
You get a line-item quote, so you know if you're paying for pressure-treated fir or actual cedar before the truck shows up.
Decking work depends on dry lumber and dry weather, so we build in a few rain days rather than promise a date we might miss.
We don't hand your job off to a different sub for staining, the same crew that cuts the joists is the crew that seals the boards.
