Our Story

How we ended up doing this

We build and repair decks for homeowners across the Phoenix Valley, from a first deck off a new build to fixing one that's been sagging for years. Most of us came up doing framing and finish carpentry before decks became the main thing, so the structural side of the job isn't a guess for us.

The call usually comes in because a deck has started to sag, the boards have cupped from years of direct sun, or a railing's gone loose at the post. We pull the decking, check every joist and post while it's exposed, and only put new boards down once we know the frame underneath is actually sound.

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 & Insured

We carry the license and insurance a deck project needs before a permit ever gets pulled. If a ladder tips into your grass or a nail gun misfires, that's on our insurance, not yours.

Written Quotes

The quote breaks out material and labor so you can see where the money's going. No verbal estimate that turns into a different number on invoice day.

Permits Handled

Most decks over 30 inches off the ground need a permit in Phoenix, and we handle that paperwork and the inspection visits. You don't have to learn the building code to get a deck built.

Our Own Crew

We don't hand your job off to whoever's available that week. The people who frame your deck are the same ones who come back if a stair stringer squeaks six months later.

Built for This Climate

We don't spec the same materials a builder in a mild climate would use. UV-rated sealers, fasteners that won't corrode in monsoon humidity, and wood species that hold up past two summers of direct sun.

We Clean Up After

A deck job makes a mess, offcuts, packaging, the odd dropped screw in the grass. We sweep the site and haul the debris out before we call the job finished.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about us specifically, not the work itself.

How long has this deck builder been in the trade?
Deck construction and repair has been the main focus for years, building on backgrounds in framing and finish carpentry. That carpentry background is what handles the structural side of a deck, not just the decking laid on top of it.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
An in-house crew handles framing, decking installation and railing work rather than subbing it out to different companies for each part of the job. The people who start a deck are the same ones who finish it.
Can I see photos of past deck projects?
Photos of completed deck installations, repairs and railing work should be available on request, including some jobs mid-repair before the decking went back on. Seeing the framing stage matters more for judging quality than finished photos alone.
Why hire a smaller deck builder instead of a large contractor?
A smaller deck-focused crew means the person quoting the job is often the same one on site framing it, so nothing gets lost between sales and the build. Decisions about a soft joist or a design change get made on the spot instead of routed through a call center.
Where is this deck builder based?
Based in Phoenix, AZ, and covering the greater Phoenix Valley including Mesa, Chandler, Scottsdale, Glendale and surrounding towns within about a 50-mile radius.
What days and hours does a deck crew typically work?
Deck construction generally runs weekdays, with earlier starts in summer months to get framing and footing work done before peak afternoon heat. Weekend scheduling can sometimes be arranged for estimates and site visits.
Does the crew clean up the site after a deck job?
Old decking, fasteners, sawdust and packaging all get hauled off before a job is called finished. The yard shouldn't be left with a pile of offcuts and old lumber.
What happens if something gets damaged during deck construction, like a sprinkler line?
Insurance should cover accidental damage to sprinkler lines, fencing or landscaping that happens during deck construction. Anything damaged gets flagged and repaired as part of the job, not left for the homeowner to sort out.
Will you finish a deck another contractor started or walked away from?
Take-over jobs get assessed first to check what framing is already in place and whether it meets code before any new decking goes on top. Sometimes that means redoing footings or joists that were undersized the first time around.
How can a homeowner tell deck work is being done correctly?
Joist spacing, ledger board flashing and footing depth are all things a homeowner can ask to see before the decking goes down, since that's the point they get covered for good. A contractor willing to walk through the framing before it's covered is doing the job the way it should be done.
