   YourDeckBuilder fully replaced our aging—and dangerous, structurally-compromised—hillside deck, and we are thrilled with the result.

   The deck’s wood was severely worn, with parts showing termite damage, and the concrete supports underneath were tilted and *cracked*. The whole thing was sitting at an angle and pulling away from the house. We had been putting off the necessary work for fear of the cost, painting over blemishes to fool ourselves into thinking we had more time, but then one of us suddenly stepped through planks of wood (no injuries) and we knew we couldn’t delay it any longer (see before photos).

   I contacted YourDeckBuilder, and John Simons was quick to come by to assess the situation and discuss the options (so many options!) available to us. He answered all of my annoying questions and immediately made me feel at ease about such a major project (again, one we’d been dreading and postponing). We had a quote within the week and made a decision about a week later. The contract was signed about a week later and work was underway the next week. The scheduling was easy, even for my partner and I who have absurdly demanding jobs with absurd hours. They worked with us all along the way.

   No, it wasn’t cheap, but it was MORE than reasonable for the engineering and sweat, the craft and beautiful woodwork, especially in this fraught economic environment, with high inflation and difficult-to-procure materials. I want to note our location is exceptionally tricky: we live in a 1920s home on a staircase without *any* street access, which means carrying heavy supplies and debris up and down multiple flights of stairs EVERY day, multiple TIMES per day. The crew made dozens of trips a day, back and forth, back and forth. All of this in the middle of unrelenting summer heat. They also had the hillside to build into and a leftover eucalyptus tree trunk (visible in a before photo) to contend with as they got to work. The primary tradesmen at our home to complete the work—project manager/foreman Ángel, plus Raul, Joell, and José—were keen professionals, and continuing to coordinate check-ins with John Simons was a breeze.

   Our deck, the whole giant thing, in spite of all the obstacles, was done surprisingly quickly and it’s beautiful. In the future we will choose YDB for similar projects, and recommend all our relations do the same.

   We had the most amazing experience with YourDeckBuilder. They built us the most beautiful deck. They were professional, reliable and very reasonably priced. John, Angel and the rest of the team were so friendly and kind. We have recommended them to all of our family and friends.

   Your Deck Builder replaced my 25 year-old second story deck, which was structurally compromised with dry rot and termite damage. My excellent project manager, John, suggested an expansion of the footprint, resulting in a lovely expansion of the square footage.

   For the quality of work proposed, the bid was fair, and I decided to go for the more expensive option of ipe Brazilian walnut with steel cable railings. The Your Deck Builder team, lead by Angel — a master contractor in his own right — did an amazing job from start to finish. Angel and his team built the deck stronger than I had imagined with huge concrete footings anchored to bedrock and 2 large glulam beams. The deck is a beautiful compliment to the house and will be enjoyed for years to come.

   We needed a tiny deck in the middle of our fruit trees, a privacy screen on top of an existing fence and stairs to go to that new deck. John and his team were so easy to work with. They did a very very great job, they were respectful and careful with our stuff and our trees. They have a great attention to details. We couldn’t be more happy with what they’ve done and how they’ve done it.

   John and his crew did an excellent job on my deck. My house is on stilts and it’s on a slope. It was a difficult project. Your Deck Builder was able to replace my deck and it looks beautiful!
