Learn MoreThree steps. No surprises. We respond within 1 business day.
Reach out by phone or through the contact form. You tell us roughly what you have in mind - the space, how you plan to use it, and a general timeline. We respond within 1 business day to schedule a free on-site visit. No pressure, no commitment at this stage - just a conversation.
We come to your home, measure the space, look at site conditions, and talk through your options in person. Within a few days, you receive a written, itemized estimate covering materials, labor, and permit fees. If anything needs adjusting, we work through it together before you sign anything.
Once you approve the proposal, we pull the permit, schedule inspections, and build your project from the ground up. When the work is done, we walk you through every detail - testing railings, reviewing the structure, and making sure everything looks and feels right before we hand it over. Cleanup is included.
We hold a valid license from the California Contractors State License Board. Every project is fully insured for liability and workers compensation - so if anything goes wrong on your property, you are not the one holding the bill.
We come to your home, measure the space, and give you a written itemized estimate at no cost. There is no pressure to book, and no fee if you decide to go a different direction. We earn your business by being straightforward from the first conversation.
We have been building decks and fences in the Salinas Valley since 2015. That means we know the permit process at City Hall, we know how the local climate affects outdoor materials, and we have a reputation in this community worth protecting on every job.
Your estimate covers materials, labor, and permit fees - no vague line items. If something unexpected comes up during construction, we tell you immediately and get your approval before we proceed. The final invoice matches the estimate you signed.

"We had a plain concrete slab in the backyard for years and never used it. The team came out, gave us a quote within two days, and had the deck framed and done in just under two weeks. The permit was handled without us having to make a single call to the city."
Maria T., Salinas - Custom deck design and build
"Our old wood deck was splitting and soft in a couple of spots near the house. I was worried we would need a full replacement, but they came out, showed us exactly what was salvageable, and gave us an honest breakdown. The repair held up through last winter without any issues."
Carlos R., Gonzales - Deck repair and replacement
"We wanted a vinyl fence along the back of the property before the rainy season. They fit us in quickly, showed up on time, and the fence line came out straight and clean. Neighbors have already asked who we used."

Yes, in almost every case. Any deck attached to your home or elevated more than 30 inches requires a permit before work begins in California. Skipping the permit can create problems at resale and may void your homeowner's insurance coverage if something goes wrong.
Soledad summers push past 95 degrees for weeks at a time. Composite decking handles that heat and UV exposure far better than wood, which dries out, cracks, and fades without regular sealing. If low maintenance matters to you, composite is worth the higher upfront cost in this climate.
Living near active farmland means fine dust settles on your deck year-round. On wood decks, this grit wears through sealants faster than in non-agricultural areas - closer to every 18 months rather than every three years. Composite decking is easier to rinse clean and does not absorb particles into its surface.
The quality of a deck is mostly invisible once it's finished. Good framing uses properly sized beams and posts, correct fastener spacing, and footings dug deep enough for stable soil. A deck that bounces underfoot or has a railing that moves when pushed is a sign the framing was not done correctly. The American Wood Council publishes a residential deck construction guide that outlines minimum structural standards.
Surface cracking and fading can often be fixed with sanding and sealing. But if boards feel soft or spongy underfoot, or if the framing shows signs of rot near the house, repair rarely makes financial sense. The point where the deck attaches to your home - the ledger board - is the most critical area to inspect before deciding either way.
A trustworthy estimate breaks out materials, labor, permit fees, and demolition costs separately. Vague lump-sum quotes make it impossible to compare bids or understand where your money is going. Ask any contractor you are considering to itemize the estimate - a good one will do it without hesitation.
Soledad Deck & Fence is a licensed and insured Deck Builder based in Soledad, CA, serving homeowners across 12 cities in Monterey County since 2015. Our license is issued by the California Contractors State License Board, the state authority that regulates all contractors in California. Over the past decade, we have completed projects ranging from single-level backyard decks to multi-level outdoor living spaces, pergolas, screened porches, and fencing across the Salinas Valley. Learn more about our team and our work.
Late winter - January through February - is the ideal time. You can get through the permit process before spring booking season fills up, and your deck will be ready when the warm weather arrives. Waiting until April or May means competing with every other homeowner who had the same idea.
Check their license number through the California Contractors State License Board. Confirm they pull permits on every job, ask to see photos of recent completed work, and get at least two or three written estimates before deciding.
An unpermitted deck can create serious problems when you sell your home - buyers, lenders, and title companies all look at permit history. In some cases, the county can require an unpermitted structure to be removed. A legitimate contractor will never suggest skipping this step.

Soledad is a city of about 26,000 people in the heart of the Salinas Valley, surrounded by some of the most productive farmland in California. Lettuce, broccoli, and wine grapes are all grown nearby, and the Arroyo Seco area just east of town is home to well-regarded Monterey County wineries. The city sits along U.S. Highway 101, putting Salinas about 30 miles north and King City about 25 miles south - a location that makes Soledad a natural hub for Monterey County homeowners.
The city traces its roots to Mission Nuestra Senora de la Soledad, a Spanish mission founded in 1791 just outside the city limits. Most of the housing stock was built between the 1970s and 2000s - a mix of older ranch-style homes near the city center and newer tract-home subdivisions on the north and south edges of town. Many homes sit on modest lots with stucco exteriors, small backyards, and concrete driveways that deal with the same seasonal stresses every year.
Soledad summers are hot and dry, with daytime highs regularly reaching 95 to 100 degrees from June through September, according to the National Weather Service. Winters bring occasional frost and most of the year's rainfall between November and March. Those seasonal swings affect outdoor materials in real ways - and they are exactly the conditions we build for every day. Whether your home is near the old Mission or in one of the newer neighborhoods off the 101, Soledad Deck & Fence serves homeowners across all of Soledad.
