Our Story

How we approach a deck project

We frame, build and repair decks for homeowners in Fresno and the towns around it. Most of us came up doing framing and general carpentry before deck work became the main thing, and it stuck because it's one of the few jobs where you can see the whole structure from footing to rail.

If you're here, chances are a board's gone soft, a post is leaning, or you're staring at a bare patch of yard wondering if a deck would even hold up on it. We check the ledger connection and the footings first, because that's where a deck actually fails, not the decking boards people notice. Get those two things right and the rest of the structure holds for decades even with our summers baking it every year.

Why Choose Us

What you get when you hire us

None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.

Licensed & Insured

You're covered if something goes wrong on site, and we can show you proof before we start. That matters more on deck work than people think, since it involves both structural framing and working at height.

Permits Handled

Fresno requires a permit for most decks over 30 inches off the ground, and skipping that step can cost you when you sell the house. We deal with the city so you don't have to figure out the paperwork yourself.

Clean Job Site

Deck demo and framing work throws a lot of cut-offs, sawdust and stray fasteners around a yard. We bag and haul it daily instead of leaving it for the last day.

Written Quotes

The quote breaks out material and labor so you can see where the money's going. No verbal estimate that changes once the framing's open.

Own Crew

We don't hand the job to a different subcontractor for railings or staining. One crew knows the whole structure from footing to final coat.

Local to the Valley

We've seen what a Central Valley summer does to unsealed wood and what expansive clay does to a footing that wasn't set deep enough. That's built into how we frame and finish every deck we touch.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about who we are and how we work.

How long have you been building decks?
Deck construction and repair experience often comes from working on framing and general carpentry before specializing in decks, which brings a structural background into every deck build. The focus stays on decks because the whole job, from footing to rail, can be handled start to finish.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
A deck job is best handled by one crew from framing through staining and railing, rather than passing pieces of the work to different subcontractors. That keeps the same people accountable for the whole structure.
Can I see examples of past deck work?
Photos of completed deck projects, including framing shots before the decking went down, are typically available on request. Framing photos matter because they show the part of the deck that actually determines how long it lasts.
Why choose a smaller deck builder over a large contractor?
A smaller deck builder usually means the crew that quotes the job is the same crew that builds it, with no handoff to a project manager who wasn't at the site visit. Decisions on layout or material changes get made faster without extra layers.
Where are you based?
Coastal Deck Solutions is based in Fresno, CA, and serves homeowners throughout the surrounding Central Valley.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Booking lead time depends on the season, since spring and early summer are the busiest months for deck construction in the Central Valley. Getting a quote locked in during winter usually means an earlier spot in the schedule.
Do you clean up the site after finishing a deck?
Cut-offs, sawdust, and old decking should be hauled off and the site swept at the end of each work day, not left for a final cleanup day. Nails and screws get walked over with a magnetic sweeper before the crew leaves for good.
What happens if something gets damaged on my property during the job?
Insurance coverage carried by a licensed deck builder should cover accidental damage to the property during construction, and proof of that insurance should be available before the job starts. Any incident should be reported and addressed directly rather than left for the homeowner to chase down.
Will you finish a deck another contractor started or abandoned?
Picking up a deck project left mid-way by another contractor is possible, but it starts with an inspection of what's already built. Footings and framing already in place get checked against code before any new work continues on top of them.
How can I tell if deck work is being done correctly?
Proper deck construction shows in the details: joist hangers fully nailed with the correct fasteners, flashing installed at the ledger board, and footings set below the frost or bearing depth for the area. Asking to see these points before the decking boards go down is a reasonable request of any deck builder.
