Hardwood Decks in Brentwood

Composite is plastic. It warps at 110 degrees and looks plastic in five years. We build with Ipe, Cumaru, and Garapa — tropical hardwoods that age beautifully, last 25–50 years, and finish to interior-millwork quality. Every deck is hand-sanded and oiled on site, fastened with hidden hardware, and engineered for its specific LA microclimate. In Brentwood specifically, the build context is different from a generic LA project. Old-money LA at its most discreet. North-of-Sunset gates, big lawns, and decades-long family ownership; south of San Vicente reads more as upper-middle traditional family neighborhood. That changes what a decks project looks like — both in spec and in process.

Architecture in Brentwood runs mediterranean traditional, cape cod, and a growing inventory of contemporary tear-down rebuilds. original cliff may ranches still scattered through brentwood country estates. — and the decks we deliver is calibrated to read with the architecture, not against it.

City of LA permits with Brentwood Community Council notification for any front-yard wall over 42" or any visible streetfront fence work.

Material selection for Brentwood decks reflects the local microclimate: Mild year-round, marine layer until ~10am most days, no significant wind exposure outside fire-season Santa Anas in the canyons above Sunset. Our standard Brentwood build spec: Standard Cumaru or Garapa specs work — no marine-grade upgrade required. Privacy fences default to 6 ft horizontal with 3/4" gap between boards. Pricing in Brentwood typically falls in the $55,000–$185,000 band per project, with the upper half reserved for hillside, coastal, or HOA-design-review-heavy builds.
