Deck Construction in Burbank

A new deck build starts with the load case, not the surface.

Burbank's coastal microclimate (hot summers) calls for salt-grade hardware on every deck construction we deliver here. We default to 316 stainless throughout for any project within 1 mile of the water.

We default to Cumaru or Ipe with marine-grade fastening, with Garapa or cedar-with-Cumaru-cap as common budget alternatives. Substructure engineering by a licensed PE on any deck over 30 inches off grade or any cantilever over 4 ft. Most LA deck contractors skip this step and build to generic span tables. We don't.
