Composite Decking

Composite decking is Oakland’s top choice for low-maintenance outdoor spaces. Made from recycled materials, it resists fading, staining, and splintering ideal for homes in areas like Rockridge and Glenview. With brands like Trex and TimberTech, we deliver eco-friendly performance decks.

Redwood Decking

Locally sourced redwood remains a classic favorite for its warmth and natural beauty. It’s sustainable, renewable, and resistant to decay, perfect for homeowners who prefer authentic wood aesthetics. We offer staining and sealing options to extend lifespan in humid or coastal conditions.

Deck Repair & Restoration

From damaged boards to loose railings, we repair decks efficiently and safely.

Railing Systems & Accessories

Why Decks Matter in Oakland’s Lifestyle

In a city where outdoor gatherings and scenic views are part of daily life, decks are more than additions; they’re community spaces. Oakland’s average lot size (0.11 acres) and dense urban housing mean decks often serve as private retreats or rooftop lounges.

A custom deck can:

  • Expand Living Space: Ideal for dining, lounging, or entertaining year-round.
  • Boost Property Value: Homes with new decks sell faster and for 5–10% more than comparable properties.
  • Improve Sustainability: Composite and redwood decks use renewable materials and reduce maintenance waste.
  • Enhance Curb Appeal: Increases visual appeal and complements landscaping.

Decks reflect how Oakland homeowners embrace indoor-outdoor living while maintaining eco-conscious design choices.
