A Deck That Holds Up to La Mesa Summers
We build and repair decks around La Mesa and East County, from a cedar platform off the kitchen to a two-level deck with stairs down a hillside lot.
A look at the deck work we handle most around La Mesa.
A new deck built from the footings up, sized to your yard and your house.
Soft boards, loose rails, or a deck that doesn't feel solid, we sort it out.
Protect the wood before the sun and rain start splitting it.
Multi-level layouts and built-in seating designed around your actual yard.
No sanding, no staining, no redoing it again in three years.
Wobbly posts and out-of-code spacing, fixed or replaced properly.
We build and repair decks for homeowners across La Mesa and the surrounding area, usually people in one of two spots: they want a deck that doesn't exist yet, or the one they have has started to sag, gray out, or feel loose underfoot. We handle both the first call and the follow-up repair five years later. A lot of our work is on hillside lots, where a flat deck design just doesn't fit the grade.
When we build new, we start with the footings, sized to the soil and the span above them, not a one-size number pulled from a catalog. When we repair, we open up the decking and check the ledger board and joists before touching a single board on top, because a new coat of stain over a rotted frame doesn't fix anything. That's the difference between a deck that looks fine for a season and one still solid in five years.
Based in La Mesa, working across East County and beyond.
Not on the list? Give us a call anyway. We are often working nearby.
Most of our work comes from someone telling a neighbor about us. Here is why that keeps happening.
We're licensed and insured, so you're covered if something goes wrong.
We pull the permits a new deck requires and schedule the inspection.
Pressure-treated pine, cedar, or composite, we'll walk you through the trade-offs.
Every quote lists the lumber, hardware, and labor separately.
The crew that frames your deck also finishes it.
We know the hillside lots and clay soil around La Mesa.
Had a soft spot by the back steps for two years and kept ignoring it. Turned out the ledger board was rotted behind the flashing.
Switched from old cedar boards to composite out in El Cajon. Had to reschedule once for a supply delay on the color we wanted, but they kept us posted.
Our lot drops off steep in back so a flat deck wouldn't work. They came back with a two-level design and a landing halfway down the stairs.
