Learn MoreCall or fill out our contact form and tell us what you have in mind. We will respond within 1 business day to schedule a free on-site visit. You do not need measurements or drawings - just show us the space and tell us how you want to use it. The consultation is at no cost and no obligation.
After the visit, we put together a detailed written proposal covering the design, materials, and a full cost breakdown. We walk you through every line item so nothing is vague. If you want changes, this is the time to make them - before a single permit is filed. The number you agree to is the number you pay.
We handle permits, scheduling, and construction from start to finish. The city inspector signs off on the completed work, and we do a final walkthrough with you before we call it done. You get a finished, permitted outdoor space - and a copy of all documentation for your home files.
We hold a valid California contractor's license - verifiable in minutes on the CSLB website. Every project carries full liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, so you are protected from day one through final inspection.
We visit your property, assess the space, and give you a detailed written quote - no phone-in guesstimates, no pressure. The estimate is free and comes with a full cost breakdown before you commit to anything.
We are a locally owned business that has been building in Santa Rosa and surrounding Sonoma County communities since 2018. We know the local permit requirements, the climate, and the neighborhoods - not just the trade.
Every deck we build goes through the full city permit and inspection process. That means an independent city inspector verifies the framing and finished structure - protecting your family and your home's resale value with documentation in your files.

"We had them build a composite deck off our back door last spring. They handled the permit, kept us updated the whole time, and finished on schedule. The framing is solid and it looks exactly like what we discussed at the start."
Marcus T., Rohnert Park - Composite deck installation
"Our old wood fence was leaning and falling apart. The crew came out, pulled the old posts, and put in a new privacy fence in two days. Clean work, no mess left behind, and they were easy to reach when I had questions."
Diana R., Petaluma - Wood and privacy fence installation
"We have a sloped backyard in Fountaingrove and were told by another contractor it would be a nightmare. This team came out, explained how they would handle the hillside framing, and built us a two-level deck that actually works with the yard."
Kevin S., Santa Rosa - Multi-level decks

Nearly every new or replacement deck in California requires a building permit - especially if it is attached to your home or elevated more than 30 inches. Skipping the permit can mean fines, mandatory removal, or problems when you sell. The California Contractors State License Board recommends always verifying your contractor's license and ensuring all permits are pulled before work begins.
Composite decking outperforms wood in wet-dry climates like Santa Rosa's - it does not warp, splinter, or need sealing every two years. Pressure-treated wood costs less upfront but requires consistent maintenance to stay structurally sound. For low-maintenance outdoor living, composite is the stronger long-term choice in this region.
Homes in fire hazard zones - much of Santa Rosa's hillside areas - face stricter material requirements after the 2017 Tubbs Fire. Some composite products carry fire-resistance ratings that help meet updated building standards. Before choosing materials, check your address on CAL FIRE's fire hazard zone maps.
Santa Rosa averages around 30 inches of rain per year, nearly all between November and April. Unsealed wood absorbs that moisture and then dries hard in summer - this wet-dry cycle causes cracking, warping, and eventually rot. Sealing your deck every two to three years is the most cost-effective way to protect the investment.
Outdoor living space is a consistent selling point in California real estate - buyers expect it and will pay for it, especially in the North Bay. A permitted, well-built deck documents that the work was done correctly, which matters in disclosure. An unpermitted deck can actually reduce buyer confidence and complicate a sale.
Ask for the contractor's California license number and verify it on the CSLB website before you sign anything - it takes about two minutes. A licensed contractor also carries insurance, pulls permits, and provides a written contract. Hiring unlicensed means you have no protection if the work is poor or someone is injured on your property.
Custom Santa Rosa Deck & Fence is a licensed and insured deck builder company based in Santa Rosa, CA, serving 12 communities across the North Bay since 2018. We hold a California contractor's license issued by the California Contractors State License Board, covering general building and framing work.
Since 2018, we have completed hundreds of deck and fence projects across Sonoma, Marin, and Napa counties - from single-level cedar decks to multi-level composite builds on hillside lots. We offer 16 services covering every aspect of outdoor living construction.

A common starting point is 12 x 16 feet (192 sq ft) for a table and chairs with room to move around. Larger gatherings or a built-in grill need at least 300 to 400 sq ft. We help you figure out the right size during the free site visit - no need to guess in advance.
Late winter (January - February) is the smartest time to reach out. Contractors are less booked, permit reviews move faster, and you are on track for a finished deck before summer. Waiting until April or May often means a July or August construction date at best.
Sloped lots require taller posts, deeper footings, and more complex framing - but they are not a barrier to a great deck. Many of Santa Rosa's most attractive decks sit on hillside lots. The American Wood Council's deck construction guide outlines how hillside framing should be engineered safely.

Santa Rosa is the largest city in Sonoma County, with roughly 178,000 residents and a housing stock that spans everything from Victorian homes on McDonald Avenue to rebuilt tract homes in Coffey Park and hillside properties in Fountaingrove. A large share of local homes were built between 1950 and 1980 and are reaching the age where major outdoor improvements - including decks and fences - are overdue or needed for the first time.
The city has distinct neighborhoods with different housing types and conditions. The Railroad Square Historic District near downtown has older commercial and residential buildings with character worth preserving. The area around the Charles M. Schulz Museum sits in quieter residential streets where homeowners take obvious pride in their properties. Out in Rincon Valley and the eastern hillside neighborhoods, sloped lots are common - and so is the demand for decks that work with, not against, the terrain.
Custom Santa Rosa Deck & Fence has built in all of these neighborhoods. We understand Santa Rosa's permit requirements, the city's fire hazard zone designations, and the specific challenges that come with the area's expansive clay soils and wet-dry climate cycles. If your home is in Santa Rosa, we build decks here - not just near here.
