Learn MoreReach out by phone or through our contact form. We ask a few quick questions about your space and what you have in mind. No pressure, no sales pitch - just a short conversation to figure out whether a site visit makes sense. We respond within 1 business day.
We come to your home, walk the space with you, take measurements, and talk through your options. You will leave that conversation with a clear picture of what is possible, what materials make sense for your yard and budget, and what the permit process looks like. A written estimate follows within a few days.
Once you approve the estimate and sign a contract, we handle permits with the City of Port Hueneme, schedule delivery, and start construction. We keep you updated throughout the build and complete a final walkthrough with you before we call the job done.
We hold an active California Contractors State License Board license and carry both general liability and workers compensation insurance on every project. You can verify our license on the CSLB website before signing anything.

They finished the whole deck in just under two weeks, which was exactly what they told us upfront. The crew cleaned up every single evening, and the finished deck feels completely solid - no bounce, no loose boards. We have been out on it every evening since.
Marcus T., Port Hueneme - Custom deck design and build
I was worried about the HOA approval process, but they handled all of it. They knew what our association required before I even asked, submitted the right paperwork, and got approval without any back-and-forth. The composite boards look great and I have not had to do a thing to maintain them.
Diane R., Oxnard - Composite deck installation
Three of our fence posts had rotted through at the base from years of salt air. They replaced all three and reinforced two others that were starting to go. The whole repair took one day and the fence feels as solid as new. Good communication throughout.
Kevin S., Ventura - Wood and privacy fence installation

Yes - noticeably. Salt air accelerates corrosion in metal fasteners and breaks down wood finishes faster than in inland areas. Using marine-grade hardware and the right sealants makes a real difference in how long your deck holds up here. The North American Deck and Railing Association publishes guidance on material selection for different environments at nadra.org.
Almost always. In California, any deck that is attached to your home or raised more than 30 inches off the ground requires a building permit. The permit means a city inspector verifies the work at key stages, which protects you when you sell. The California Contractors State License Board maintains homeowner resources at cslb.ca.gov.
Composite wins for coastal conditions. It does not absorb moisture, so it does not warp, rot, or gray from salt air exposure the way wood does. Wood costs less upfront but requires more maintenance over time and degrades faster near the ocean. For Port Hueneme homeowners, the salt air tips the calculation toward composite more decisively than it would for inland buyers.
Frequently. Many Port Hueneme neighborhoods - especially planned communities near the naval base - have HOA rules about deck materials, colors, and height that are separate from city permit requirements. Getting HOA approval in writing before construction starts protects you from being asked to modify or remove the deck later.
More often than most homeowners expect. In Port Hueneme's coastal environment, a wood deck should be cleaned and sealed every one to two years - more frequently than the national average of two to three years. Skipping this does not cause immediate failure, but it shortens the deck's lifespan noticeably. A clean, dry surface and good-quality sealant are the two most important factors.
Start with the California Contractors State License Board - you can verify any contractor license online in two minutes at cslb.ca.gov. Also ask for proof of general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. Local references and photos of completed projects in this area are worth asking for, since someone who works here regularly will understand the local permit process and coastal conditions better.
The North American Deck and Railing Association (NADRA) is a useful independent resource for homeowners researching deck materials, safety standards, and contractor selection.

If fewer than one-third of the boards are damaged and the structural frame is solid, repair is usually worth it. If the posts, beams, or ledger board are compromised, a full replacement is almost always the more cost-effective long-term answer.
An unpermitted deck can become a deal-breaker when you sell your home - buyers agents and inspectors check. In some cases the city can require the structure to be torn down. It also voids most homeowner insurance coverage for injuries on that structure.
Get at least two to three written estimates for the same scope of work. In coastal Southern California, a professionally built deck typically runs $30-$65 per square foot installed. Be cautious of quotes far below this range - they often signal corners cut on materials or permits.

Port Hueneme is one of Ventura County's smallest cities, covering about 4.5 square miles along the Pacific coast. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, roughly 22,000 people live here in a compact mix of single-family homes, apartments, and military housing. The city grew up around its working port and Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC), and that history still shapes the neighborhood character today.
Life in Port Hueneme revolves around the water. Residents walk or bike to Hueneme Beach and the pier, and many neighborhoods are just a few blocks from the ocean. The proximity to the coast is one of the best things about living here - and it is also why outdoor structures require more care than they would a few miles inland. Salt air rolls in off the Pacific year-round, and it is harder on wood, metal fasteners, and surface finishes than most homeowners expect until they have seen it firsthand.
Most homes in Port Hueneme were built between the 1950s and 1980s - modest ranch-style houses with small to medium yards. Many homeowners in the area are adding decks and outdoor structures for the first time, or replacing older ones that have been worn down by years of coastal exposure. Whether your home is close to the base, near the beach, or in one of the neighborhoods closer to Oxnard, we have worked in Port Hueneme long enough to know what the local building department requires and what materials hold up here.
