Deck Building

What it takes

The substructure does most of the work.

On a hillside the boards are the easy part. What carries them, and how it is tied back into the slope, is what you are really paying for.

We frame for the exposure and the span, then finish with timber or composite and a rail that keeps the view rather than fencing it off.

Scope

What we take on.

Full deck construction

Footings, framing, decking and rail as one job, engineered where the slope calls for it.

Timber and composite decking

Chosen for how much sun the deck takes and how much maintenance you actually want.

Railings and cable rail

Code-compliant and detailed so it reads as thin as possible against the view.

Steps and level changes

Consistent risers and proper landings, tied into the deck rather than bolted on.

Covered decks

Roofs and pergolas on posts sized for the span and the wind.

Repairs and replacement

Rot, movement and failed fixings assessed honestly, because sometimes the frame is fine and sometimes it is not.

Common Questions

The things people ask us first.

Timber or composite?

Composite costs more up front and almost nothing after; timber looks better and wants attention. We will tell you what the exposure on your deck argues for.

Can you build over a slope?

Yes, and most of ours are. It becomes a structural job, which is why the engineering comes before the price.

Can you fix an existing deck?

Often. We will tell you straight whether the frame is worth saving.

Next step

Thinking about decks?

We will walk the site, tell you straight what it will take, and put a real number on it. The visit and the estimate are free.
