We begin with a consultation to understand your vision and the specific layout of your Berkeley property.

Using high-end materials suited for our climate, I handle everything from permits and framing to the final installation of railings and finishes, ensuring a seamless build from concept to completion.

Yes, as a licensed General Contractor, I manage all aspects of a deck project, including necessary electrical work. In Berkeley, outdoor lighting circuits are prone to corrosion from fog and moisture. I use proper, weather-rated fixtures and conduit to protect connections, and I can also assess if your home's breaker panel needs an update to safely support new outdoor circuits, preventing overloads.

I conduct a thorough inspection of the deck's structure, focusing on the ledger board attachment to the house, joist integrity, and footings—common points of failure. For many Berkeley decks, repair is a cost-effective option for issues like worn boards or loose railings. However, if the foundational framing is compromised or doesn't meet current safety codes, I'll recommend a replacement for your safety and the longevity of your outdoor space.
