Why West Hollywood homeowners pick Red Stag
Three reasons our decks work is different in West Hollywood.
Real hardwood, not composite.
Composite is plastic. It looks plastic in five years and the boards warp at 110 degrees. Tropical hardwood ages with grace — Ipe lasts 50+ years, Cumaru 25+, Garapa 20+ — and gets more beautiful as it weathers.
Hand-finished on site.
Every board is end-sealed, hand-sanded, and oiled on site. Hidden fastening throughout — no exposed screws, no plug rows, no telegraphing. The finished surface reads like millwork, not contractor-grade decking.
Engineered for LA.
Hillside cantilevers, salt-fog coastal builds, post-fire rebuild specs, rooftop loads — every deck is designed for its specific microclimate and structural load by a licensed engineer when the build calls for it.
