Custom Deck Design & Installation

Why Choose Custom Deck Design?

Your home is unique, and your deck should be too. Off-the-shelf deck plans might save you a few dollars upfront, but they rarely fit your space perfectly or match how you actually want to use your outdoor area. A custom deck is built around your needs, your property, and your vision.

At RCD Rancho Cucamonga Decks, we work with you from the first sketch to the final board. We measure your space, talk through how you plan to use your deck, and design something that fits perfectly. Whether you want a simple platform for grilling or a multi-level entertaining space with built-in seating, we make it happen.

What Makes Our Process Different

We do not just show up and start building. Custom deck design means taking the time to understand what you need and how your property works. Here is what that looks like when you work with us:

• Site Assessment: We visit your property to check the terrain, measure the space, and look at how your home sits. This helps us avoid surprises later and design a deck that works with your yard, not against it.
• Design Consultation: We sit down with you to talk through your ideas. How do you want to use the deck? Do you need space for a dining table, a grill area, or room for kids to play? We sketch out options that match your vision.
• Material Selection: You choose between wood, composite, or a combination of both. We explain the pros and cons of each option so you can make the right choice for your budget and lifestyle.
• Permit Handling: We take care of all the paperwork and permits required in Rancho Cucamonga. You do not have to deal with the city or figure out building codes.
• Professional Installation: Our crew builds your deck with attention to detail and quality. We show up on time, keep the work area clean, and make sure everything is level, secure, and built to last.

The whole process typically takes 2 to 4 weeks from design approval to completion, depending on the size and complexity of your project.

Benefits of Working With Local Experts

Building a deck in Rancho Cucamonga means dealing with specific challenges. Our hot, dry summers can warp certain woods if they are not installed correctly. The ground shifts more than people expect. Local building codes have specific requirements for deck height, railing spacing, and foundation depth.

We have built hundreds of decks in this area, so we know what works and what does not. We choose materials that hold up to the heat. We build foundations that stay stable in our soil. And we design railings that meet code without blocking your view.

Plus, when you work with a local team, we are around if you ever need maintenance or have questions down the road. We stand behind our work because we live here too. Check out our deck repair and restoration services if you ever need help keeping your deck in great shape.

Materials and Options We Offer

You have choices when it comes to deck materials, and we help you pick what makes sense for your situation. Here is what we typically recommend:

• Pressure-Treated Wood: Affordable and natural-looking. Needs regular staining and sealing but holds up well if maintained.
• Cedar or Redwood: Beautiful, naturally resistant to rot and insects. Costs more upfront but ages beautifully with less maintenance.
• Composite Decking: Made from wood fibers and plastic. Never needs staining, resists fading, and stays cooler in the sun. Great for busy homeowners who want low maintenance.
• Combination Builds: Some clients use composite for the deck surface and wood for the frame and railings. This balances cost and maintenance.

We also handle custom features like built-in benches, planter boxes, pergola attachments, and lighting. If you are thinking about adding a pergola or patio cover, we can design the deck to support it from the start.
