Elevated outdoor living.
Built to last generations.
Premium custom decks built for Bay Area. 15+ years of expert craftsmanship, steel-frame hillside specialists, transparent pricing from $20k+.
Six layers. Zero shortcuts.
A great deck isn't just the surface you walk on — it's six engineered layers working together. Here's how we build from the ground up.
Exploded view: piers → posts → beams → joists (perpendicular, sitting on top of beams) → deck boards → railing
Piers
Concrete footings anchored deep into stable soil or bedrock. They're the foundation — every pound of load transfers through these first.
Posts
Vertical columns rising from each pier. On hillside builds, we use steel columns rated for seismic and lateral loads.
Beams
Heavy horizontal members that span across the tops of posts. They form the primary structural grid and carry all the weight above.
Joists
Closely spaced framing members that sit on top of the beams, running perpendicular to them. They directly support the deck surface.
Deck Boards
The walking surface — composite or hardwood. Fastened to joists with hidden clips for a clean, screw-free finish that ages beautifully.
Railing
Safety meets style. We use cable rail, metal, or glass systems chosen to maximize your view while meeting code requirements.
Three ways to build your outdoor space.

A calm process that protects quality.
High-end outdoor construction involves a lot of decisions. Our job is to make them feel organized, transparent, and grounded in what's structurally right.
We walk your property, discuss your vision, and give you a realistic scope and budget range.
We coordinate plans, permits, and engineering so everything is approved before we break ground.
Clean scheduling, skilled craftsmanship, and proactive updates throughout construction.
Final walkthrough, punch list, and close-out. We finish strong and leave the site clean.
“The attention to detail was incredible. They kept us informed at every stage and delivered exactly what we envisioned — on time and on budget.”
