Our Story

How We Look at a Deck Job

We build and repair decks around Chaparral, mostly for homeowners who want more usable space out back without dealing with a contractor who disappears halfway through. Some of us got into this trade through framing work, some through general carpentry, and decks turned into the specialty because there's more to get right than people expect.

If you're on this page, you're probably dealing with a deck that's gone soft in spots, a railing that moves when you grab it, or boards that have curled up at the edges from years of sun. Soft or bouncy decking usually means the joists or the ledger board have started to rot, not just the surface boards, so we always check underneath before we quote a repair. A five-year-old deck should still feel solid when you walk on it, and if it doesn't, something in the framing or the flashing was done wrong the first time.

Why Choose Us

What you get when you hire us

None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.

Licensed and Insured

Licensed and insured coverage means a dropped beam or a damaged fence panel doesn't come out of your pocket. Ask for certificates before any deck project starts, we'll hand them over without hesitation.

Written Quotes

You get a written quote that lists board footage, fastener type and labor as separate line items, not one lump number. That way you know exactly what composite decking costs against pressure-treated before you commit.

Our Own Crew

We don't hand your project off to a rotating list of subcontractors. The same guys who set your footings are the ones screwing down the last deck board.

We Know the Caliche

Caliche layers under Chaparral yards will wreck a standard post-hole digger, so we bring the right equipment before we ever pour a footing. Getting the depth right the first time keeps a deck from heaving or settling later.

On-Time Scheduling

Deck jobs get scheduled around weather windows, not guesswork. If wind or rain pushes a pour or a stain job back, you hear about it the same day, not after we miss the date.

Materials You Choose

We'll walk you through pressure-treated lumber, cedar and composite decking side by side, including what each one looks like after five summers of Chaparral sun. Cheaper isn't always cheaper once you count the staining and repairs.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about who we are and how we work.

How long have you been building decks?
Deck building and repair work here spans everything from small board replacements to full custom builds with composite decking and multi-level framing. Specific project history and experience details can be discussed directly during a quote visit.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
The same crew handles every part of a deck project, from setting footings to installing the final railing. Subcontractors aren't brought in for standard deck work.
Can I see examples of decks you've built?
Photos of past deck installations, repairs and staining jobs are available to look at during a consultation or quote visit. Seeing a similar layout or material choice in person helps before committing to a design.
Why hire a smaller deck builder instead of a large contracting company?
A smaller deck-focused crew means the same people who quote the job are the ones building it, without the job getting passed down through layers of project managers. Communication tends to be faster and more direct as a result.
Where are you based?
Deck building and repair work is based out of Chaparral, NM, serving homeowners throughout the surrounding valley.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Scheduling depends on the current workload and the size of the project, with smaller repairs often fitting in sooner than a full deck build. Calling early is the best way to lock in a preferred start date, especially in spring and fall when deck projects pick up.
Do you clean up the site after the job is done?
Old lumber, cut-offs, packaging and any leftover fasteners get hauled away once a deck project wraps up. The yard gets left in usable condition, not just the deck itself.
What happens if something on my property gets damaged during construction?
Liability insurance covers accidental damage to landscaping, fencing or other property that happens during deck construction. Certificates of insurance are available before work begins for anyone who wants to see them.
Will you finish a deck that another contractor started or abandoned?
Picking up a partially built deck is possible, but the existing framing and footings get inspected first to see what actually meets code before building on top of it. Sometimes that means redoing sections that were started incorrectly rather than just continuing from where the last contractor left off.
How can I tell if my deck was built correctly?
A properly built deck shouldn't bounce or sway when walked on, and the railings shouldn't move when leaned against. Checking for a flashed ledger board, joist hangers rather than nails toe-screwed at an angle, and footings that sit below frost depth are good signs the structural work was done right.
