Our Specialty

Deck repair & exterior wood stair replacement

Coastal air and sun eat through exterior wood. We find the rot, replace what's failed with pressure-treated lumber, secure everything tight, and finish it with coatings built for the coast — so your deck and stairs are safe to walk on and look sharp again.

  • Plank & tread replacementRotted, cracked, or spongy boards come out and get replaced — not patched over.
  • Structural repair & re-securingLoose steps get re-nailed and reinforced, hardware checked, stairs made solid and safe.
  • Prime, paint & protective coatingsNew wood is primed and finished to match, sealed against moisture and UV.
  • Clean job sitesDrop cloths down, debris hauled out, and a walkthrough before we call it done.

How It Works

From first call to final walkthrough

01

Call or text

Tell us what's going on — soft boards, a wobbly railing, a full repaint. Photos help; text them to (949) 426-3030.

02

On-site look & written estimate

We inspect the wood in person, tell you honestly what needs replacing versus what can be saved, and price it in writing.

03

Repair & finish

Bad wood out, new pressure-treated lumber in, everything secured — then primed, painted, or coated to match.

04

Walkthrough & cleanup

We walk the finished work with you, haul the debris, and leave the site clean. No mess left behind.
