Hardwood Decks in Encino

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 Encino specifically, the build context is different from a generic LA project. Estate-scale Valley neighborhood. South-of-the-boulevard lots commonly run 1/2 to 2 acres; deep setbacks, mature landscaping, multi-generation ownership. That changes what a decks project looks like — both in spec and in process.
