How long does it take to build a custom deck or patio?

Most residential projects are completed within 7 to 14 days. This timeline includes framing, decking, and finishing touches like railings or lighting.

Does a new deck require a building permit in Sacramento?

Yes, for any structural deck attached to the house or over a certain height, a permit is required. We handle the entire application and inspection process for you.

What is the best material for a low-maintenance deck?

Composite decking (like Trex or TimberTech) is the best choice. It never requires sanding, staining, or painting, just a simple soap-and-water wash.

Can you add a patio cover to an existing deck?

Absolutely. We specialize in integrated patio covers and pergolas that match your deck's aesthetic while providing much-needed shade.

How do I choose between a deck and a stone patio?

It usually depends on your landscape. Decks are ideal for sloped yards or creating elevation, while stone patios are perfect for flat ground and offer a more permanent masonry feel.
