Our Story

What Got Us Into Building Decks

We build and repair decks for homeowners across the East Valley, from a first deck off a bare slab to fixing one somebody else built wrong. Most of us came up doing framing and general carpentry before decks became the focus, and decking work rewards the same attention to detail, since every board and rail is out in the open where you can see it.

The calls we get most are for boards that have cupped and gone gray, or a rail post that's started to lean because it was set in a bag of dry-mix instead of a real footing. We pour footings to the depth the span and soil call for, and we check how the ledger board ties into the house before framing anything on top of it, since a bad ledger connection is what usually lets a deck pull away from the house.

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 coverage a deck project actually needs, structural work included. Ask for the certificate before we start, we'll send it over.

Permits & Code

Deck footings and guardrail height both fall under building code, and we handle the permit paperwork so you don't have to chase inspections yourself.

Clean Job Site

Deck demo throws nails, screws and sawdust everywhere, so we run a magnetic sweep of the yard before we leave, not just at the end of the job.

Written Quotes

Our quotes break down lumber or composite by board count, fasteners, and labor, so you can see where the money goes before you sign anything.

On-Time Scheduling

Deck work gets scheduled around the weather here, monsoon season can push a stain job or a pour back a day, and we call you before that happens, not after.

Local to the Valley

We've watched what east-facing decks do to composite color and what west sun does to pressure-treated pine out here, and we build around it instead of guessing.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about us and how we work.

How long have you been building decks?
Experience in deck construction varies by contractor, and it's reasonable to ask directly about years of experience with decks specifically, not just general construction. Deck-specific experience matters because footings, ledger flashing and composite installation each have their own failure points that general carpentry doesn't always cover.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
Some deck builders use an in-house crew for the entire job while others subcontract framing, deck lighting or concrete footing work to specialists. Either approach can produce good work, but it's worth asking who's actually on site day to day and who to call if a question comes up.
Can I see examples of decks you've built?
Photos of completed deck projects, ideally including some detail shots of framing, footings or railing connections rather than just finished surfaces, give a clearer picture of build quality than finished photos alone. Asking to see a similar project in person, if the current owner allows it, is also reasonable.
Why hire a smaller deck builder instead of a large remodeling company?
A smaller, specialized deck builder often has more direct hands-on time on each project and fewer layers between the estimate and the person actually building it, compared to a large general remodeling company juggling multiple trades. That usually means faster answers to questions during the job.
Where are you based?
Deck builders serving Mesa are typically based in or near the East Valley, which keeps drive time down for site visits, material deliveries and follow-up calls after the job is done. A local base also usually means more familiarity with Mesa's permit and inspection process.
How far out are you booking new deck projects?
Availability shifts throughout the year, with spring and fall usually booking up faster since that's when many homeowners want a new deck finished before it sees heavy use. It's worth calling for a current estimate on start dates rather than assuming based on the season alone.
Do you clean up the site after a deck project?
Cleanup after deck construction or demolition should include hauling off old lumber, sweeping for loose screws and nails, and removing job-site debris like packaging and offcuts before the crew leaves. A magnetic sweep of the yard is worth asking about specifically if kids or pets are around.
What happens if something gets damaged during the deck project?
A licensed and insured deck contractor should carry liability coverage that handles accidental damage to a house, landscaping, or irrigation lines during construction. Confirming insurance coverage before the job starts, rather than after something happens, is the better order to do it in.
Will you finish a deck another contractor started or walked away from?
Taking over a partially built deck is possible, but it usually starts with an inspection of what's already framed to check footing depth, joist spacing and ledger attachment before building on top of someone else's work. Sometimes it's faster and cheaper to pull out a section and redo it than to build around a mistake.
How do I know the deck work is being done correctly?
A permitted deck project gets inspected by the city at key stages, typically footings and framing, which gives an independent check beyond the contractor's own word. Homeowners can also ask to see footing depth and ledger flashing before the decking boards go down and cover them up.
