Our Story

How we think about a deck build

We design, build and repair decks for homeowners around Riverside and the Inland Empire, and most of what we do started with someone calling about a deck that already had a problem. We got into this work because the framing and hardware side of a deck interests us more than the trim carpentry that gets all the attention. A deck stands or falls on the parts nobody looks at once it's finished.

If you're on this page, there's a good chance a board feels spongy when you step on it, a post has shifted, or the ledger board is pulling away from the house where it was never flashed right in the first place. We open that area up, check the joists and the ledger attachment, and rebuild the connection with flashing tape and lag bolts sized for the load, not whatever was on hand at the time. That's the difference between a deck that lasts another five years and one that lasts another twenty.

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

We carry the license and insurance this trade requires in California, and certificates can be sent before you sign anything. If a subcontractor gets hurt on your property or something gets damaged, that's on our policy, not yours.

Permits & Code

Deck framing and railings both have to meet code, especially guardrail height and baluster spacing, and we build to pass inspection the first time. We handle the permit paperwork with the city so you don't have to figure out the process yourself.

Clean Job Sites

We sweep up cut-offs and haul the old decking away, we don't leave a pile of scrap lumber for you to deal with. Screws and nails left in the grass are a hazard for kids and pets, so that gets cleared as we go.

Written Quotes

You get a written quote that breaks out material and labor before any work starts, so you know what composite decking costs against pressure-treated pine. If rot or a bad footing turns up once things are opened, we'll show you before we change the price.

On-Time Scheduling

You get a start date and a rough timeline for how many days the framing, decking and railing will each take. Weather and material delays happen, but you'll get a call before your project sits idle.

Our Own Crew

The people framing your deck are the same people who priced it, not a crew subcontracted out to the lowest bidder. That matters when a beam span or a post footing doesn't match what's on paper and someone has to make a call on site.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about who we are and how we work.

How long has Western Deck Company been building decks?
Western Deck Company focuses specifically on deck framing, decking, railing and staining rather than general home remodeling. That focus is what shapes how every job gets approached, from footing depth to fastener choice.
Do you use your own crew or subcontract the work out?
Deck framing and decking installation are handled by an in-house crew rather than subcontracted labor, so the people pricing a job are the same people building it. Specialty work like wiring for deck lighting may involve a licensed subcontractor.
Can I see examples of decks you've built?
Photos of completed deck installations, repairs and railing work are available to look through before hiring, and a visit to a past project can sometimes be arranged with the homeowner's permission. Asking to see examples closest to a specific style or material is reasonable.
Why choose a smaller deck builder instead of a large remodeling company?
A dedicated deck builder spends every day on framing spans, ledger flashing, and railing code, rather than treating deck work as one line item among kitchens and additions. That focus tends to show up in how the framing holds up over time.
Where is Western Deck Company based?
Western Deck Company is based in Riverside, CA, and works throughout Riverside County and the surrounding Inland Empire cities.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Availability shifts with the season, with spring and early summer being the busiest stretch for new deck builds. Repairs and smaller jobs generally get worked into the schedule faster than full installations.
Do you clean up the site after finishing a deck project?
Old decking, cut lumber, and packaging get hauled away at the end of each work day rather than left piled in the yard until a job wraps. A final walkthrough at completion covers any leftover debris.
What happens if something on my property gets damaged during the project?
General liability insurance covers accidental damage to a driveway, fence, or landscaping that happens during a deck build. Any issue gets addressed directly rather than left for the homeowner to sort out.
Will you finish a deck that another contractor started or abandoned?
Taking over a partially built deck happens fairly often, usually after checking that the existing framing meets code and matches what the rest of the build requires. Footings and ledger attachment get inspected before new work continues on top of them.
How can I tell if deck work is being done correctly?
Joist hangers should match the size and fastener type of the lumber, the ledger board should have flashing behind it where it meets the house, and railing posts shouldn't flex when pushed. Asking to see the framing before the decking boards go down is reasonable on any deck project.
