Premium Composite & Ipe Deck Builder in Los Angeles

Most of the projects we build in Los Angeles fall between $40k–$120k.

Smaller, simpler decks start around $35k–$55k, while large multi‑level or “outdoor living room” builds with railings, lighting, and stairs can be $100k+.

After a quick call and a few photos, we’ll give you a clear ballpark range before anyone comes to your home, so you can see if it fits your budget with zero pressure.

In simple terms: wood costs less upfront, composite costs less over time.

- Wood (ipe, bamboo, redwood): lower initial price, needs staining/sealing every 12-48 months depending on material, typically lasts 25+ years with good care.

Composite: higher upfront, no staining or sealing, resists warping and rot, and can last 25-50+ years with basic cleaning.

During your consultation, we’ll show you good / better / best options in both materials so you can see side‑by‑side how the look, maintenance, and price compare.

Our job is to make this simple:

1. Phone / virtual consult to talk through your ideas, budget, and timeline.
2. On‑site visit & measurements so we can design to your exact space.
3. Design & proposal with a clear scope, price, and options.
4. Permits & HOA approvals handled by our team.
5. Build phase where our crew completes the project and keeps your yard tidy.
6. Final walkthrough to make sure everything looks and functions exactly how you expected.

Most projects move from first call to completed deck in about 6-12 weeks, depending on design and permits.

In Los Angeles, permits typically take about 4-6 weeks once plans are submitted for projects with no major complexity.

Some projects are quicker, and more complex projects can take up to 6-12 months.

We handle all drawings, paperwork, and back‑and‑forth with the city/HOA for you, and we keep you updated so you’re never wondering where things stand. Once permits are approved, we schedule your start date and lock it in.

You get 5-year workmanship coverage from Dr. Deck. If something we built fails due to our installation during that time, we fix it at no labor cost to you.

On top of that, many of the composite and railing products we use carry manufacturer warranties of 20–50 years against fading, staining, and structural defects.

If something isn’t right, we make it right.

Here’s how we handle it:

1. You let us know what’s wrong.
   
2. We schedule a visit to inspect and diagnose the issue.
   
3. If it’s related to our workmanship within 5 years, we repair it at no labor cost.
   
4. If it’s a material issue, we help you work directly with the manufacturer to use your product warranty.
   

We also offer our Dr. Deck promise on all of our projects, which means:

Every project we complete comes with a craftsmanship + material warranty. On top of that, you can kick back and relax, knowing that if you ever have issues in the future, we'll be over to make sure it's taken care of quickly and properly.

You’ll hear from us within 60 minutes during business hours (or first thing the next business day).

1. We’ll confirm a few details about your project and answer initial questions.
2. We’ll ask for photos of your existing space so we can come prepared.
3. We’ll schedule a phone or in‑home consultation at a time that works for you.

No spam, no endless sales calls – just a clear plan, a price range, and next steps so you can decide if we’re the right fit.
