Every job below is one we do ourselves across Phoenix.
We frame and build new decks from the footings up, sized and spaced to hold whatever decking material you choose. Posts get set on concrete footings below grade, and joists get spaced to match the span rating of the boards, not just eyeballed.
We'll work out the layout, height, and railing style around how you actually plan to use the space, whether that's a grill station, a hot tub pad, or somewhere to sit in the shade. We can sketch options before you commit to lumber.
Loose boards, wobbly stairs, and rotten ledger boards get fixed without tearing out a deck that's otherwise sound. We check the framing underneath before we replace anything on the surface, because a new board over a bad joist doesn't last.
UV out here breaks down wood finish faster than almost anywhere else in the country, so we stain and seal on a schedule that actually matches Phoenix sun, not a national average. We strip old finish before recoating instead of painting over what's failing.
Composite boards don't need yearly staining, and they hold up better against the kind of heat that cups and splits real wood. We install with hidden fasteners so the surface stays smooth without visible screw heads.
Railings get built to current code height and baluster spacing, close enough that nothing squeezes through. We can match the railing style to the decking or run something different, like metal cable rail against wood boards.
If the frame underneath is solid but the boards are cracked, gray, or splintering, we can replace just the surface instead of rebuilding the whole deck. It's a faster job and a lot less lumber than starting over.
Old decks come down board by board so we can check the ledger board and framing for damage before anything new goes up. We haul off the debris, so you're not left with a pile of treated lumber in the yard.
A deck in direct Phoenix sun by 10 a.m. doesn't get used much, so we build pergolas and shade covers over decks and patios to make the space livable in summer. We can add lattice, shade cloth, or solid roofing depending on how much sun you want blocked.
Under-deck waterproofing systems turn the space underneath a raised deck into usable dry area instead of a spot that floods every monsoon. We install drainage panels under the decking that channel water off to the side instead of straight down.
Four steps, and no surprises in any of them.
You tell us what you want doing, we look at what is actually there, and we ask the awkward questions early.
In writing, itemised, free. If something might add cost later we flag it now rather than at the end.
Same crew throughout. We cover your floors, keep the dust down and tidy up before we leave each day.
You point out anything you are not happy with and we fix it before the invoice, not after.
