Our Story

How we look at a deck project

We build and repair decks around Fresno, working with homeowners who want something that holds up to real weather and daily use. Most of us came out of general carpentry and house framing before deck work became the focus, and decks are the kind of job where that craftsmanship stays visible instead of getting covered up by drywall.

If you're on this page, there's a good chance a board is soft underfoot, the railing wiggles when you lean on it, or the whole structure is pulling away from the house at the ledger board. We check the framing and that ledger connection first, because that's what fails before the decking on top ever does. Fresno's dry heat and the occasional freeze make wood shrink and swell all year, so we leave gap spacing that accounts for it instead of building tight and letting the deck fight itself.

Why Choose Us

What you get when you hire us

None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.

Licensed and Insured

You're covered if something goes wrong on the job, not just if it goes right. Ask us for proof before we start, we'll have it ready.

Permits Handled

Decks over 30 inches off grade usually require a permit and an inspection, and we handle that paperwork instead of leaving it on you. Skipping it can come back to bite you at resale.

Clean Job Site

Deck demo leaves a mess of splintered wood and pulled fasteners, and we don't leave that in your yard overnight. Every visit ends with the site swept for screws and nails.

Written Quotes

The quote spells out decking material, footing count and railing style so there's no guessing later. If something changes mid-job, you hear the new cost before we do the work, not after.

Own Crew

We don't hand your project off to a rotating set of subcontractors. The same people who set the footings are the ones putting down the last board.

Local to the Valley

Clay soil around the valley shifts more than people think, and that movement is what pulls posts and footings out of level over time. We set footings deep enough to account for it instead of guessing.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about who's doing the work and how we handle it.

How long have you been building decks?
Deck construction and repair has been the focus of this work for years, building on a background in general carpentry and house framing. That carpentry background shapes how the framing and structural work gets handled on every deck.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
The same crew handles a deck project from footings to final board, rather than handing pieces of the job off to rotating subcontractors. One set of hands stays accountable for the whole build.
Can I see photos of past deck projects?
Photos of completed deck installations, repairs and staining jobs are available on request during the estimate, including examples close to a similar size or style. Seeing a comparable project helps set expectations on timeline and finish.
Why choose a smaller deck builder instead of a larger company?
A smaller deck building operation means direct contact with the people actually doing the work, instead of going through an office or a sales rep. Decisions on materials, design changes or scheduling happen on the spot instead of waiting on someone off site.
Where is Coastal Deck Solutions based?
Coastal Deck Solutions is based in Fresno, CA, and takes on deck projects throughout the surrounding valley towns within about 50 miles.
How far in advance do I need to book a deck project?
Booking a few weeks out is typical, especially heading into spring and summer when deck installation requests pick up. Repair work tends to get scheduled faster than new builds since it usually takes less time on site.
Do you clean up the job site when the work is done?
Old decking, nails, screws and offcuts get cleared from the yard at the end of every work day, not just at the end of the project. A demolition or full rebuild ends with a walk-through to confirm the site is clear before calling the job finished.
What happens if something gets damaged during the work?
Deck construction work is insured, which covers accidental damage to the property during the project. Any damage gets reported and addressed directly rather than left for the homeowner to deal with.
Will you finish a deck another contractor started or abandoned?
Taking over a partly built or abandoned deck is possible, starting with an honest look at what's already been framed to see if it meets code and can be built on safely. Sometimes it's cheaper to pull out questionable framing and start that part over than to build on top of it.
How can I tell if deck work is being done properly?
Footings should be poured to the required depth and inspected before framing goes on top, joist hangers should use the correct fasteners rather than screws, and an attached deck should have proper flashing at the ledger board to keep water out. Asking to see these steps, or asking for photos of the footings before they're covered, is a reasonable request of any deck builder.
