We suggest our clients to use composite decking material for their new deck which is made out of 95% of recycled material. In fact, composite has a longer lifespan than wood in that it is low maintenance. There is no need for sanding, painting, or any sealing. Additionally composite decking is designed to avoid color fading, mold, rotting, termite damage, and splintering/splitting. As a result, cleaning a composite deck is very convenient and stress-free. Moreover our clients save more in the long run when choosing composite decking material. Our supplier offers a variety of colors to match the aesthetic of your home.
For homeowners who love the classic look and feel of natural wood, we offer traditional wood decking options like pressure-treated pine, cedar, or redwood. Wood decks are budget-friendly and easy to customize with stains and finishes to match your home’s style. However while they do require more maintenance over time—like sealing and occasional sanding—many of our clients still enjoy the warmth and character that real wood brings to an outdoor space.
Every home is different—and therefor, so is every homeowner’s vision. That’s why we offer custom deck builds tailored to your space, needs, and lifestyle. For example, whether you’re dreaming of a multi-level deck, built-in seating, a covered porch, or a fully enclosed outdoor space, we’ll work with you to bring it to life. We also build custom railings, pergolas, and shade solutions to add comfort and style. Ultimately, If you can imagine it, we can frame it—your outdoor space, your way.
What You Get: A smooth, textured, concrete-like finish that looks like a professionally coated pool deck—seamless, slip-resistant, and available in multiple colors. Your old deck is transformed into a waterproof surface that looks and feels brand new.
How We Do It:
Not every deck needs to be torn out. We resurface and protect decks using professional coating systems from Life Specialty Coatings, designed for both plywood and concrete surfaces.
The Result: A deck that’s safe to enjoy and protected for years against weather, leaks, and daily wear. Backed by manufacturer warranty and professional installation. We handle the prep, repairs, and installation so you can focus on enjoying your outdoor space.
If your existing deck is showing signs of wear—loose boards, rotting wood, wobbly railings, or structural damage—we can help restore it to safe and solid condition. First we assess the damage and offer honest recommendations on whether a repair or partial rebuild makes the most sense. Our goal is to extend the life of your deck without unnecessary costs, using quality materials that blend seamlessly with the existing structure.
A solid deck foundation is the critical starting point for any safe, long-lasting deck. Our professional deck contractors use properly sized concrete footings that extend below the frost line and are calculated according to your deck’s load requirements and local soil conditions. We install galvanized post anchors and adjustable post bases that create secure connections while preventing moisture from wicking into the wood structure. Our foundation work includes proper drainage planning, soil compaction, and gravel base preparation to prevent settling and frost heaving. Without a quality foundation, even the best framing and materials will fail over time—that’s why we engineer every footing to meet California building codes and support your deck safely for decades.
Expert framing is the backbone of any deck or patio, and it plays a crucial role in its safety, stability, and longevity. Our professional deck contractors use proper framing techniques that ensure your deck can support weight loads and resist the elements, preventing common issues like sagging or instability. Without expert knowledge of framing techniques, decks can develop serious problems like inadequate drainage, poor foundations, improperly anchored footings, or weak connections between joists, beams, and posts—issues that compromise safety and cost thousands to repair.
We build safe, durable decks using only premium-grade structural hardware. Our code-compliant deck builders use heavy-duty galvanized and stainless steel joist hangers, hurricane ties, and ledger board connectors from trusted brands like Simpson Strong-Tie. We install engineered, code-approved hardware that prevents the structural failures common in poorly built decks. From corrosion-resistant fasteners designed for California’s climate to waterproof flashing that stops hidden rot, every connection is built to last decades. Quality hardware represents only 5-10% of your deck’s cost but determines 90% of its safety and durability—that’s why we don’t cut corners.
Properly designed stairs, railings, and shade structures transform basic decks into complete outdoor environments taking advantage of year-round climate while addressing Lake Forest conditions from Foothill Ranch to Portola Hills.
Stair design affects safety and aesthetics in Lake Forest’s varied topography where many properties feature slopes requiring multi-level access. We calculate proper dimensions while incorporating LED lighting for evening safety during extended outdoor season when families use decks primarily during evening and weekend hours.
Railing systems balance safety with style while withstanding Lake Forest’s inland climate including intense UV and occasional strong Santa Ana winds. Modern options include traditional wood matching craftsman and Mediterranean architecture, low-maintenance composite resisting fading, cable systems preserving Saddleback Mountain views, and glass panels for unobstructed vistas in Portola Hills where premium properties command mountain and valley views.
Pergolas provide partial shade—essential in this inland city where summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F and afternoon sun makes unshaded decks uncomfortable June through September. We design pergolas with integrated lighting, ceiling fans for air circulation, or climbing plant supports creating natural cooling. Retractable fabric shade systems are increasingly popular for flexibility.
Material coordination ensures elements work together while withstanding Lake Forest’s intense UV and temperature swings from 45°F winter mornings to 95°F summer afternoons. Mixing materials creates interest but requires careful selection for consistent performance.
Regular maintenance keeps your deck safe and valuable for decades in Lake Forest’s year-round outdoor climate. We provide every client customized schedules based on materials and inland climate conditions.
Spring cleaning removes winter debris and identifies issues from rainy season (December-March). Check for loose boards, protruding nails, and moisture damage particularly under decks where Lake Forest’s clay soils retain moisture. Early detection prevents expensive repairs before spring’s intense UV exposure.
Summer requires special attention due to intense UV and heat in this inland city. Composite can become quite hot—surface temperatures exceed 140°F on dark colors—while wood shows UV damage if staining is overdue. Keep surfaces debris-free and check drainage for occasional summer thunderstorms. Apply UV-protective treatments in early summer before intense July-August heat.
Fall preparation protects your deck through winter while taking advantage of ideal conditions. Clean gutters to prevent overflow during winter rains. Remove leaves and debris (particularly from oak trees common in Lake Forest) that trap moisture causing staining or mold during winter’s higher humidity. Fall is ideal for applying stain or sealant—moderate temperatures and unlikely rain until late November.
Winter inspections check moisture damage during Lake Forest’s rainy season when the city receives 12-15 inches annual rainfall concentrated December-March. While major maintenance waits for dry weather, winter is perfect for planning repairs when contractor availability and pricing are most favorable.
Moisture protection is essential for deck longevity and structural integrity. Our comprehensive waterproofing approach ensures reliable performance for decades:
Waterproofing failures result in costly repairs and premature deck replacement. We don’t cut corners on waterproofing—it’s built into every deck we construct, protecting your investment for decades to come. We’ve waterproofed many decks throughout Lake Forest, from Baker Ranch to Foothill Ranch, ensuring long-lasting protection for Orange County homeowners.
Our skilled deck contractor provides comprehensive assessments and planning to ensure a safe, stable, and code-compliant structure. From foundational supports to joist spacing, we focus on precision engineering that guarantees longevity and performance for both residential and commercial outdoor decking spaces.
We offer tailored deck designs to match your lifestyle and property, including multi-level layouts, built-in seating, lighting options, and ADA-compliant features. Our deck expert blends functionality with visual appeal, creating outdoor spaces that enhance your home’s value and provide a perfect setting for relaxation and entertainment.
Our contractor prioritizes selecting premium, weather-resistant materials, including pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, and hardwoods. We source materials from trusted manufacturers known for durability and performance in Lake Forest climate. Our composite options include top brands like Trex and TimberTech.
