Wood Deck Installation

The Timeless Appeal of Wood Decks

Nothing beats the natural warmth and character of a real wood deck. The authentic grain patterns, the feel underfoot, and the way wood ages gracefully make it a favorite choice for homeowners throughout Victorville. We build beautiful wood decks using quality materials and proven construction techniques that stand up to our desert climate.

Wood decks offer excellent value, especially when you want authentic natural materials. With proper maintenance, your wood deck will provide years of outdoor enjoyment. Our expert deck installation services ensure your wood deck gets built correctly from the foundation up. We select the right materials for our local conditions and construct your deck to meet all building codes.

Choosing Your Wood Type

Different wood species offer unique benefits. We help you select the right wood for your needs and budget. Here are your main options:

• Pressure-Treated Pine: Most affordable option with good rot resistance and longevity
• Cedar: Naturally rot-resistant with beautiful reddish tone and pleasant aroma
• Redwood: Premium choice with excellent durability and stunning natural color
• Tropical Hardwoods: Extremely dense and durable woods like Ipe or Tigerwood for ultimate longevity

For most Victorville homeowners, pressure-treated lumber offers the best combination of performance and value. Modern treated lumber lasts much longer than older versions and takes stain beautifully. Cedar and redwood cost more but require less maintenance and age to an attractive silvery gray.

How We Build Your Wood Deck

Foundation and Frame

Every quality deck starts with a solid foundation. We dig proper footings below frost line and install concrete piers that support your deck for decades. The frame gets built with treated lumber properly spaced and connected according to engineering standards. This invisible structure determines how long your deck lasts.

Decking Installation

We install deck boards with proper spacing for drainage and expansion. Each board gets secured with corrosion-resistant fasteners positioned to prevent splitting. We pay attention to board selection, using the straightest pieces where they show most and creating clean, professional-looking results.

Finishing Touches

Your deck needs proper railings and stairs for safety and accessibility. We build railings to code with proper spacing and strength. If you want your deck stained or sealed right away, we offer professional finishing services that protect your investment from day one.

Keeping Your Wood Deck Beautiful

Wood decks need regular care to stay looking great and last as long as possible. Plan to clean your deck annually and apply fresh stain or sealer every 2 to 3 years. This protects the wood from moisture, UV damage, and wear. Regular maintenance costs less than major repairs later.

Watch for problems like loose boards, popped nails, or signs of rot. Catching issues early makes repairs simple and inexpensive. Keep your deck clear of standing water and debris, especially around posts and in corners where moisture can collect. A little attention goes a long way toward extending the life of your wood deck.
