Built Like a Structure Not a Surface Upgrade
A deck is a structural system. Framing, foundations, drainage, house connections, fasteners and the finished surface all have to work together. We favor materials and assemblies that stay dimensionally stable, resist moisture and fire exposure, and reduce the maintenance cycle associated with traditional wood construction.
Our Preferred Long-Life Deck System
Fortress Evolution Steel Framing + Mbrico Porcelain Decking
Steel provides a straight, noncombustible structural platform without the rot, splitting or insect damage associated with wood framing. Mbrico adds an engineered, free-draining porcelain surface that requires no staining or sealing.

Fire-Resistant Deck Construction for California Conditions
In Marin, Sonoma, and other fire-prone areas, choosing the right deck material isn’t optional. It’s critical.
We build fire-resistant decks using non-combustible materials that meet California code requirements while maintaining a clean, architectural finish.
Our focus is simple
build once, and build it to last.
Compared to traditional wood decks, these systems:
Last significantly longer
Require minimal maintenance
Perform better in high-risk fire environments

What to Look for in a Deck Builder
Choosing the right contractor is the difference between a deck that lasts and one that fails prematurely.
A qualified deck builder should understand:
Structural framing, not just surface installation
Fire-resistant and non-combustible materials
Waterproofing and deck-to-home connections
Local permitting and site conditions in the Bay Area
This is where most projects go wrong, and where we focus our work.
