Custom Deck Design & Installation

Your Vision, Our Expertise

When you work with Build Wise Fairfield Decks, you get more than just a deck. You get a custom outdoor living space designed around how you actually want to use it. Whether you love hosting big barbecues, need a quiet spot for morning coffee, or want a safe play area for your kids, we design and build decks that fit your lifestyle perfectly.

Every home in Fairfield, CA is different, and every family has unique needs. That is why we never use cookie-cutter designs. We take the time to understand your space, your budget, and your goals before we even pick up a hammer. The result is a deck that feels like it was always meant to be there.

Why Custom Design Matters

You might be wondering if a custom deck is worth the investment. Here is the truth: a well-designed deck adds real value to your home and transforms how you use your outdoor space. Standard deck plans rarely account for things like uneven terrain, existing landscaping, or the way sunlight hits your yard throughout the day.

Our custom design process considers all these factors and more. We look at:

• The natural slope and drainage patterns of your yard
• How you access your deck from inside your home
• Privacy from neighbors and street traffic
• Sun exposure and shade throughout different times of day
• Views you want to highlight or obstacles you want to screen
• Local building codes and HOA requirements

When these elements come together in a thoughtful design, you end up with a deck that feels natural, functions beautifully, and enhances your property value.

Here is How It Works

We have streamlined our design and installation process to make it as smooth as possible for you. First, we schedule an on-site consultation where we walk your property together. We measure everything, take photos, and most importantly, listen to your ideas. This is your chance to share inspiration photos, describe how you envision using the space, and ask any questions.

Next, we create a detailed design proposal that includes layout drawings, material recommendations, and a transparent cost breakdown. We present options at different price points so you can choose what fits your budget. Want to add built-in seating or planters? Interested in composite materials instead of wood? We will show you exactly what each choice looks like and costs.

Once you approve the design, we handle all the permits and scheduling. Our experienced crew shows up on time, works efficiently, and keeps your property clean throughout the project. We do not disappear for days at a time - we stay on your job until it is done right.

Materials That Match Your Style and Budget

One of the biggest decisions in any deck project is choosing the right materials. We work with all the major decking options and can guide you through the pros and cons of each:

• Pressure-treated lumber: The most budget-friendly option that can last 15-20 years with proper maintenance
• Cedar or redwood: Beautiful natural wood that resists rot and insects, though it requires regular staining
• Composite decking: Low-maintenance materials that never need staining and come in dozens of colors
• PVC decking: The most durable option that stands up to heavy use and extreme weather

We help you weigh factors like upfront cost, long-term maintenance, and appearance to find the perfect fit. Many of our Fairfield clients choose composite decking because it holds up incredibly well in our California climate while requiring minimal upkeep.
