A New Deck, Built Right the First Time.
A new deck adds usable outdoor space and returns strong resale value in San Diego. We design every deck installation around how you use the yard — dining, lounging, a hot tub, or a full outdoor kitchen — then draw it to fit your home, lot, and view.
A deck lasts decades when it's installed right. Correct footings, code-rated spans, weather-rated decking, and corrosion-resistant hardware separate a 30-year deck from one that fails in 5. Our certified crew has built 1,200+ decks across San Diego County and installs every one to code.

Deck Materials We Install
Each decking material has its own look, upkeep, and cost. Here's how the 5 we install compare — pressure-treated wood, redwood or cedar, composite, PVC, and IPE hardwood.
| Material | Look | Durability | Maintenance | Price tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pressure-Treated Wood | Classic, paintable | Good | High (seal yearly) | Budget |
| Redwood / Cedar | Warm, natural grain | Very good | Medium | Standard |
| Composite (Trex / TimberTech) | Wood-look, many colors | Excellent | Very low | Standard |
| PVC (Azek) | Modern, uniform | Excellent | Lowest | Premium |
| IPE Hardwood | Rich, dense, luxe | Outstanding | Medium (oil) | Premium |
Lowest maintenance: composite and PVC, including Trex, TimberTech, and AZEK, shrug off UV, salt air, and moisture with an occasional rinse. Warmest, most natural feel: redwood or IPE. We match the material to your budget and how much upkeep you want to do.

How Much Does Deck Installation Cost?
Most installed decks in San Diego run $35 to $65+ per square foot. Where you land depends on the decking material, deck size, height, and site prep. Here's the breakdown.
Pressure-treated wood, ground-level layouts under 200 sq ft, and standard wood railings.
Composite or redwood decking, raised decks, and upgraded aluminum or cable railings.
PVC or IPE hardwood, multi-level and hillside builds, glass railings, lighting, and built-ins.
| Cost factor | What drives it |
|---|---|
| Materials | Pressure-treated wood runs least; composite, PVC, and IPE cost more. The biggest price swing. |
| Labor | Square footage, multi-level framing, stairs, and railing detail drive the labor hours. |
| Permits & Engineering | Permits and structural engineering, needed most on elevated or sloped hillside lots. |
| Site Prep & Demo | Tearing out an old deck, grading, footings, and drainage add cost on tricky sites. |
| Extras | Deck lighting, built-in benches, pergolas, stairs, and premium railing systems. |

Deck Installation Questions, Answered
How long does deck installation take?+
Most deck installations take 1 to 3 weeks, including design and permitting. Simple ground-level decks go faster, and multi-level or hillside builds take longer. You get a firm timeline at your free estimate.
Do you handle permits?+
Yes, we handle the full permit process and any structural engineering. We pull the San Diego permits, meet the inspector, and file HOA approval paperwork, so you never chase it.
Wood vs composite vs PVC — which should I choose?+
Composite or PVC for low maintenance, redwood or IPE for a natural look. Composite and PVC brands, including Trex, TimberTech, and AZEK, need almost no upkeep and last 25 to 50 years. Wood costs less up front but needs sealing every 1 to 2 years.
Do you offer a warranty?+
Yes, every deck comes with our lifetime workmanship warranty. That sits on top of manufacturer warranties from Trex, TimberTech, and AZEK, which run 25 years to limited lifetime.

Yes, full tear-out, demolition, and haul-away are included when we replace an old deck. We reuse footings only when they pass inspection, otherwise we pour new ones.
