How We Work

Our process guides you from initial concept through final inspection and certificate of occupancy.

Planning & Design

We meet with you to understand your vision, roof style preferences, and how you'll use the space. Our team reviews your property layout, existing structures, and any Alameda County setback or height restrictions that apply to your address.

We create a detailed site plan and deck design, including beam placement, post locations, and roof framing. We also identify any permitting needs upfront—most covered decks above 200 square feet require permits in Alameda County.

Permits & Preparation

We handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections with your local building department. This step ensures your deck meets current California building codes and local requirements.

Our crew prepares the site, marks utility lines, and sets posts on secure footings. We verify all measurements and alignments before framing begins.

Our Services

Complete covered deck solutions for Alameda County homes and properties.

Covered Deck Installation

From single-story covers to multi-level designs, we build strong, code-compliant decks with solid roofs, polycarbonate panels, or retractable systems. In Alameda County's temperate climate, a covered deck protects you from occasional rain and intense sun while staying open to bay breezes.

Customizable Protection

Permits & Code Compliance

We manage the entire permitting process with your local Alameda County or city building department. Covered decks require structural plans, engineering sign-off for larger projects, and final inspections before approval.

Decks over 200 square feet or more than 30 inches above grade require permits in most Alameda County jurisdictions. We ensure yours is compliant before we build.
