Deck installation · Los Angeles
Decks create level, usable outdoor space where the ground won’t cooperate: on hillside lots, off raised doors, around pools and over uneven yards. We build decks in wood and composite designed for comfort and longevity.
Overview
In the foothills of Glendale, La Crescenta, La Cañada Flintridge and the hillside neighborhoods of Studio City, Sherman Oaks and Encino, a deck can unlock space that would otherwise be unusable. On flatter lots, a low-level deck adds warmth and a change of material next to the house or pool.
We’ll help you choose between natural wood and composite decking, plan railings, stairs and built-in seating, and integrate lighting. Decks pair naturally with pergolas for shade.
Materials & design options
Redwood, cedar or treated lumber for natural warmth.
Low-maintenance boards that resist rot and splinters.
Wood, metal, cable or glass railings to suit views and style.

Planning & installation
Structure. Footings, framing, ledger connections and railings must be properly designed and built. Raised decks generally require permits and inspections.
Fire zones. In very high fire hazard severity zones, decking materials and construction may need to meet specific requirements.
Maintenance. Wood needs periodic cleaning and sealing; composite needs less but isn’t maintenance-free.
Cost factors. Size, height, material, railing type, stairs, site slope and access.
Permits. Whether a permit is required depends on your city and the specifics of the structure — its size and height, whether it attaches to the house, its distance from property lines, its roof type and any electrical work. Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena each have their own building departments, while addresses in neighborhoods like Studio City, Sherman Oaks or North Hollywood fall under the City of Los Angeles (LADBS). We’ll help you understand what typically applies before you commit, and the local building department always has the final word.
