Decks, Adding Value to your home.


Decks, they're beautiful and fun to use. Here in San Diego, they also add to the value of your largest investment. Not only are you improving your property, you are adding a usable and flat space to an unusable slope.

Here's a great article on MSN online that reiterates the value of adding a deck to your house, especially in a down economy.

The value of your investment depends on many things. Here in San Diego, most likely 100% or more of the cost of your deck will be added to the value of your house. I read that in some instances up to 110% can be expected.

Glass railing



We have all but finished our latest Trex deck. This one surrounds a new spa.









Trex is a composite decking material and is ideal for an application such as this. It requires minimal maintenance and has a 25 year warranty against any sort of rotting that would occur with regular wood decking.








Our client wanted to preserve the stunning view from their property. Whereas a typical railing would need a top and bottom rail, here we used extra thick tempered glass panels to enable the post-only look.
