Wood Deck Installation

The Classic Appeal of Wood Decking

There is something special about a real wood deck. The natural grain, the solid feel underfoot, and the way it ages and develops character over time. While composite materials have their place, many homeowners still prefer the authentic look and feel of traditional wood decking.

We have been installing wood decks in Rancho Cucamonga, CA since 2024, and we know how to build them right. From selecting the best lumber to using proper building techniques, we take pride in creating wood decks that not only look beautiful but also stand up to our local climate for years to come.

Whether you want pressure-treated pine for an economical option, the rich color of cedar, or the durability of redwood, we can build the wood deck that fits your vision and budget. Let us show you why wood decking remains a popular choice for homeowners who appreciate natural materials.

Choosing the Right Wood for Your Deck

Not all wood is created equal when it comes to deck building. Different species offer different benefits in terms of durability, appearance, and cost. Here are the most popular wood options we install:

• Pressure-treated pine: The most economical choice and very durable when properly maintained. Treated to resist rot and insects.
• Cedar: Naturally resistant to rot and insects with a beautiful reddish-brown color. Ages to a distinguished silver-gray if left unstained.
• Redwood: Premium wood with exceptional durability and a rich, warm color. Naturally resistant to decay and insects.
• Tropical hardwoods: Extremely dense and durable woods like ipe or cumaru. More expensive but can last 25 years or more.

We will help you understand the pros and cons of each wood type so you can make the right choice for your project. We only use high-quality lumber from reputable suppliers, and we inspect every board before it goes on your deck.

How We Build Wood Decks That Last

Building a wood deck is part science and part art. You need to understand how wood behaves, how to prevent moisture problems, and how to create a structure that will remain stable and safe for decades. Our installers have the training and experience to get it right.

Proper Foundation and Framing

A wood deck is only as good as its foundation. We use code-compliant footings sized for your soil conditions. Our framing is built with pressure-treated lumber, properly spaced joists, and secure connections. We pay attention to details like joist blocking and proper flashing that many contractors skip.

Smart Decking Practices

We install deck boards with appropriate spacing for drainage and ventilation. We use the right fasteners for your wood type, whether that means stainless steel screws for tropical hardwoods or coated screws for treated pine. Board layout is planned to minimize waste and create clean sight lines.

Finishing Touches

We sand any rough spots, round over sharp edges, and make sure every board is properly secured. If you want your deck stained or sealed right away, we can handle that too. The result is a wood deck that looks professional and will give you years of enjoyment.

Caring for Your Wood Deck

Wood decks do require maintenance to keep them looking their best and to maximize their lifespan. The good news is that with proper care, a well-built wood deck can last 20 to 30 years or more. Here is what you need to know about maintaining your wood deck:

Plan to clean your deck once or twice a year with a deck cleaner and a stiff brush or pressure washer. This removes dirt, mildew, and algae that can make the surface slippery. Most wood decks should be resealed or restained every 2 to 3 years to protect against moisture and UV damage.

It might sound like a lot of work, but many homeowners find the maintenance to be relaxing and satisfying. Plus, you have control over the appearance. Want to change the stain color? Go for it. Want to let your cedar deck weather naturally? That works too. Need help with your existing deck? Check out our deck staining and sealing services.
