Exterior & decking
The outside is half the house. We rebuild facades, porches, and decks so the exterior matches the quality inside — new siding and stucco, outdoor living, and hardscape that holds up in the California sun.
A few exterior directions to consider
Start with the feeling you want — we'll shape the plan around it. These are directions to spark ideas; your finished project is built to your lot and your life.
Facade Refresh
New stucco, siding, and black-framed windows.
Modern Farmhouse
Board-and-batten and a welcoming front porch.
Outdoor Living
A deck or patio that extends the house outside.
What's included
- New facade — stucco, siding, windows
- Decks, porches, and outdoor living
- Hardscape and landscaping tie-ins
- Finishes built for the California climate
Start to finish
Every phase, handled in-house
From the first design sit-down to the final walkthrough — here's what we actually do on a exterior & decking, so there are no surprises and no gaps between the people who plan it and the people who build it.
- 01
Sit-down planning with the designer
We design the new exterior — the materials, the windows, the deck — and price the exterior and decking remodel before we order a single board. We pick species and finishes for the California sun so they last.
- 02
On-site walkthroughs to measure
We measure the facade, the existing deck, and the yard so the new exterior fits the house and the lot — not a catalog plan dropped on top.
- 03
City & state permitting
We pull the permits the exterior and decking work needs — windows, structural decks, and any openings — and handle the city.
- 04
Demolition of old exterior
We strip the old siding, stucco, or deck and haul it off — and find what's underneath before we cover it back up.
- 05
Structural & framing repairs
We repair any rot, termite, or framing damage we found under the old exterior — the structure has to hold before the finish goes on.
- 06
MEPS — electrical & gas for outdoor
We run the power, gas, and low-voltage for outdoor kitchens, lighting, and heaters — all inspected before the hardscape covers it.
- 07
Roofing & waterproofing tie-ins
We flash the new doors, deck, and roof penetrations so the exterior remodel doesn't create the leak the house didn't have before.
- 08
Deck & pergola framing
We frame the deck and pergola to code — footings, posts, and the structure that holds up the outdoor living.
- 09
Siding, stucco & windows
We install the new siding or stucco, the windows, and the exterior doors — the curb appeal and the weather seal in one pass.
- 10
Hardscape & finish handover
Patios, pathways, and the last exterior details — then a walkthrough of a facade and deck that finally match the inside.
Scope we handle
Facade & stucco refresh
New stucco, siding, or a full re-skin that changes the curb appeal overnight.
New windows & doors
Black-framed or wood windows and entry doors that open the house to light.
Decks, porches & pergolas
Outdoor living built to hold up in the California sun and rain.
Hardscape & outdoor living
Patios, outdoor kitchens, and pathways that extend the house outside.
Curb appeal makeover
A focused exterior refresh before a sale or just to love the house again.
Where we build in Orange County
We rebuild exteriors across Orange County — coastal facade refreshes in Newport Beach and Laguna Beach, modern farmhouse updates in Laguna Hills, and deck and outdoor living projects in Irvine and Costa Mesa where the yard is half the house. California weather means the outside gets used as hard as the inside, so we build it to last.
Why homeowners trust us
- 30+ years of exterior and deck building in the California climate
- California CSLB License #957315
- Structure repaired before we finish it
- Materials chosen to hold up in coastal sun and salt air
Not sure what you want?
A few questions to get you started
Most people don't have a finished plan yet — that's normal. Think through these while you look at the pictures above, then tell us where you land.
01
What do people see first when they pull up?
The facade sets the tone for the whole property.
02
How do you want to use the outside?
Dining, lounging, a pool, or just cleaner curb appeal.
03
Any issues to fix — cracking, rot, or leaks?
We repair the structure before we finish it.
04
What's your budget for the exterior?
A focused refresh costs less than a full re-skin — tell us where you want to land.
