Decks
A gray compsite deck on the California coast. Solar and low voltage lighting. Angled perimeter to reflect the home.
We also have a website dedicated to our deck projects.
More of our decks from framing to the finish...
and about Building Decks in Northen California.
Shingle style screening for privacy from the street.
We had to design within the confines of the homeowners assoc. so everything is gray, but this is still one of my favorite decks.
Madeira Trex decking and redwood railings with a privacy screen. We placed new Andersen doors for this project as well.
WINDSOR DECK
A California Redwood deck at a bed & breakfast in Windsor. ADA (American Disabilities Act) compliant for commercial properties.
OAKMONT DECK
This redwood deck was expanded to the limit of the property lines. We were able to design just enough space to make it enjoyable.
The one of a kind ship style railing was for the Home Owners Association.
MAHOGANY COMPOSITE DECK
We used hidden fasteners so you see no screws in the field for this Fiberon Tropics composite deck.
Another email project, the owner was
working at the World Trade Organization
in Geneva Switzerlans for this homes remodel and deck.
REDWOOD PERGOLA
A Classic California redwood pergola of our own design.
We built this project in our shop then delivered it to the site for installation.
One day for the concrete piers then another day to re-assemble it on your site.
A small point of interest in the pergola image. You see the highest point on the left on Black Mountain? That's the Geyser Peak emergency radio transmitter we worked on.

Contact us to see if we can do this new cost saving for your deck.
When we used Trex composite decking more a few years ago we were invited for a tour of their plant near Reno.
We were quite impressed with Trex' commitment to recycling and still use Trex decking for our deck projects.
Their new lines of decking are getting more compareable to Fiberon that we use more today.
Ipé
Ipe is a Brazillian walnut and is one of the strongest hardwoods available, nearly twice as strong as oak.
It's difficult to work and a bit costly but it is mildew, fungicide and termite resistant and can last over 40+ years. The tight grain means no slivers and it has no knots.
Ipe and Brazillian Mahogany are our favorite high end decking and exterior funiture material.
Trex
Alter Eagle is a full service building and construction company that specializes in decks.
Typically when we add a deck we place new french doors as well, so be sure to ask us for any
further remodeling needs while we are there.
These hardwoods don't require a finish but to keep their beautiful look and bring out the grain Transparent penetrating oil-based sealer with UV inhibitors in a trans-oxide pigment are recommended.
Ipe Finishing & Maintenance
Hardwood decking is competitively priced but due to the nature of the wood it is very difficult to work and takes time to install properly.
A composite railing looks beautiful with this decking but so does redwood with a matching decking cap.
Fiberons splinter-free surface doesn't need painting, staining or sealing it resists splinters and decay.
Fiberon composite decking are backed by the industry's first 10-Year Stain and Fade Resistant Warranty a Limited Lifetime Performance Warranty and an additional 20-year Limited Performance Warranty
Redwood Decks
Furniture Grade Decks
Redwood
Maintenance is the only issue you will need to stay on it, but redwood takes and holds finishes better than most other woods.
For long lasting good looks and performance, a quality water repellent finish containing a mildewcide and an ultraviolet inhibitor is recommended.
Composite Decks
Decks made of Classic California redwood keep their handsome appearance longer than other woods because Redwood is naturally stable. This means that deck boards nail down flat and stay in place resisting warping, cupping, splitting and checking.
Redwood has an open-celled structure and contains little or no pitch or resins. This enables redwood to absorb and retain all types of finishes extremely well.
We use construction heart recognized for its fire resistance; in fact, redwood-clad structures were credited with limiting the extent of the great fires following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
