Our Story

How we ended up doing both decks and waterproofing

We build decks, and because so many decks here sit over a garage, patio, or living space, we ended up learning waterproofing membrane work too, instead of handing that part off to someone else. Most of our work is for homeowners who want a deck that holds up to sun, salt air, and actual daily use, not just a deck that looks good the first year.

If you're on this page, there's a decent chance you've got a soft spot in the decking, a railing that moves when you lean on it, or a leak somewhere under a raised deck that's starting to stain a ceiling. We open up the structure before quoting a fix, because boards that look fine on top can be sitting on joists that aren't, and patching over bad framing just delays the real repair by a year or two.

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 and Insured

We carry the licensing and insurance this trade requires in California, and we'll show you proof before you sign anything. If a crew member gets hurt on your property, that falls on our insurance, not yours.

Permits Handled

Raised decks and anything attached to the house require a permit in most Orange County cities, and we handle that paperwork instead of leaving it to you. Skipping it can come back to bite you at resale, when a buyer's inspector asks for the permit record.

Written Quotes

Every quote spells out the decking material, the hardware, and the waterproofing system we're planning to use, line by line. No verbal estimates that turn into a different number once the job is half done.

On-Time Scheduling

Deck jobs get pushed around by weather and material delivery more than people expect, and we'd rather tell you that on day one than make excuses on day thirty. You'll know roughly how many days you're looking at before we cut a single board.

Material Options

Composite decking costs more up front and needs almost no upkeep, cedar looks good for less money but wants staining every couple years, and pressure-treated pine is the cheapest option if you're willing to seal it yourself. We walk you through the tradeoffs instead of just selling you whatever's in stock.

Local to Costa Mesa

We work Costa Mesa and the towns around it, which means we've seen what salt air and marine layer moisture do to a deck over a few years. That's part of why we spec different hardware and finishes here than a contractor working fifty miles inland would.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about who we are and how we work.

How long have you been building decks?
Experience covers both new deck construction and waterproofing repair on decks originally built by other contractors. Hands-on work with framing, decking materials, and membrane systems informs how each project gets approached.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
Framing and decking work is handled by an in-house crew rather than subcontracted labor on most jobs. Specialty work, such as certain waterproofing membrane systems, may involve a licensed subcontractor depending on the system specified.
Can I see examples of past deck work?
Photos of completed deck and waterproofing projects can be shared on request, including before-and-after shots of repair work. Seeing similar materials or railing styles in person is often the best way to judge finish quality.
Why choose a smaller deck builder over a large company?
A smaller deck-focused company means direct contact with the people actually building the deck instead of a project manager relaying information. Decisions on material substitutions or design changes can happen on site without waiting on a corporate approval chain.
Where are you based?
This business is based in Costa Mesa, California, and works throughout the surrounding Orange County area. Being local means familiarity with the coastal climate conditions that affect deck materials and hardware in this region.
Are you available for both small jobs and full builds?
Both small repair calls and full deck installations are taken on, without a minimum project size requirement. A loose railing or a few rotted boards gets the same response as a full rebuild inquiry.
How do you handle cleanup after a project?
Old decking, lumber, and fasteners get hauled off site as part of the job rather than left for the homeowner to dispose of. The work area is cleared of construction debris and swept before the crew leaves each day, not just at the end of the project.
What if something gets damaged on my property during the work?
General liability insurance covers accidental damage to property during a deck project, such as landscaping or siding affected by the work. Any incident gets reported and addressed directly rather than left for the homeowner to chase down.
Will you take over a deck project another contractor started or left unfinished?
Taking over a partially completed deck is possible, starting with an honest look at what's already been built, including the framing and any waterproofing in place. Work that doesn't meet code or is structurally unsound gets flagged before anything new gets built on top of it.
How can I check the work is being done properly?
Permitted deck work gets inspected by the local building department at key stages, such as after footings are poured and before decking covers the framing. Asking to see the permit and scheduled inspections is a reasonable way to confirm the work is being done to code.
