Every job below is one we do ourselves across Henderson.
We frame new decks in cedar, redwood, or composite, sized to your soil and slope. Footings get poured to local load requirements, not guessed at, and the ledger gets flashed before a single board goes down.
Sagging joists, split boards, and rails that move when you lean on them are the calls we get most. We replace what's rotted or cracked and check the framing underneath, because a new board over a bad joist just fails again.
Henderson sun dries out unfinished wood fast, and it'll crack and splinter within a couple seasons without a sealant coat. We strip old finish, sand, and apply a stain and sealer rated for the heat, not the box-store default.
We'll draw up a layout around how you actually use the backyard, whether that's a grill island, a hot tub pad, or a straight run of stairs down to the yard. Multi-level decks and built-in benches add framing complexity, and we plan for that before we cut the first post.
Composite boards skip the staining and hold up better against sun and sprinkler overspray than wood, though they run hotter underfoot in July. We install Trex, TimberTech, and similar brands with hidden fastener systems for a clean top surface.
Railings have to meet code height depending on the deck's elevation, and stair stringers need the right rise-to-run ratio or they feel wrong under your feet. We build both to code and lag them into real framing, not just the decking boards.
If the framing underneath is still solid but the boards are shot, we can pull the old decking and lay new boards over the same joists. It costs less than a full rebuild and takes a fraction of the time.
A lot of Henderson decks call for shade more than square footage, so we build pergolas and shade structures that attach to or sit alongside the deck. We tie the footings in separately so the extra roof load doesn't stress the deck frame.
Dust, hard water spots, and sun damage build up fast out here, and a yearly clean and inspection catches loose fasteners before they turn into a bigger repair. We check for pooling water, gaps that have opened up, and any wood that's started to soften.
Sometimes the old deck has to come down before anything new goes in, whether it's rotted through or just in the wrong spot. We tear it out, pull the old footings when the new design calls for it, and haul everything off the same day.
Four steps, and no surprises in any of them.
You tell us what you want doing, we look at what is actually there, and we ask the awkward questions early.
In writing, itemised, free. If something might add cost later we flag it now rather than at the end.
Same crew throughout. We cover your floors, keep the dust down and tidy up before we leave each day.
You point out anything you are not happy with and we fix it before the invoice, not after.
Deck work we handle across Henderson and the surrounding valley.
Questions that come up once a deck project actually gets moving.
Describe the problem and we will tell you what it probably is. No obligation.
