Common Questions
How long does a typical deck construction project take?
Most projects take 2-4 weeks from permit approval to completion. We begin with a free design consultation, then procure CAD drawings for permits. Once approved, our crew builds efficiently while maintaining quality. Timeline depends on deck size and complexity. We provide a clear schedule upfront and keep you updated throughout.
Can you repair an older deck or do I need to replace it?
We assess each deck individually. If the structure is sound and only the surface is worn, we can often replace decking boards or railings. However, if there is rot, structural damage, or outdated materials, replacement may be more cost-effective. We always recommend a free onsite evaluation to determine the best option, and we back our work with a craftsmanship guarantee.
How do you protect fences from earthquake damage in Berkeley?
Berkeley’s seismic activity can shift fence posts and crack rigid materials like vinyl. We recommend using flexible composite materials for fence boards and reinforcing posts with concrete footings and metal brackets. For existing vinyl fences, we can install expansion joints and UV-resistant coatings to prevent sun damage. Our team is experienced in adapting fences to local conditions, ensuring longevity and safety.
