Your backyard has one corner that's never quite worked — too sloped, too bare, or just never finished. A well-built deck turns that wasted space into the part of your home you actually use: morning coffee, summer dinners, a place to host without apologizing for the yard.
At Garcia Bros, brothers Armando and Jesus build custom wood and composite decks designed for how Central Coast homes actually live — coastal moisture, sun exposure, and uneven ground included. We don't just lay boards on whatever's there. We start by looking at your grade, your drainage, and how you move through your yard, then build a deck that feels like it always belonged.
Composite Decks with Custom Railings
If you're tired of sanding, staining, and replacing warped boards, a composite deck is built for you. Composite stands up to coastal air and sun without the constant upkeep of wood, and we finish it with custom railings that match your home's style. Prefer real wood? We build that too, with proper spacing, drainage, and fasteners so it lasts — not the easy way, the right way
Built on a Foundation That Holds
The difference between a deck that lasts 5 years and one that lasts 25 is what you can't see: the footings and the framing. A lot of decks fail because someone rushed the base. We don't. Every deck we build starts with footings done to code, so your deck stays level and solid for the long haul.
Many homeowners finish the job by pairing a deck with a new fence — we'll handle both at once. And if you're reshaping the whole yard, explore our full range of hardscaping to tie it all together.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to build a deck?
Deck cost depends on size, materials, and site conditions, but most residential decks fall within a clear range we'll lay out in your free itemized quote. Wood decks cost less upfront; composite costs more but saves on years of maintenance. We'll walk you through both so there are no surprises.
Is it cheaper to build a deck or pour a concrete patio?
A concrete patio is usually cheaper upfront than a comparable deck, but the right choice depends on your yard. Decks work better on slopes and uneven ground where a patio would need expensive grading; patios suit flat areas. We build both, so we'll give you an honest comparison for your specific space.
What type of decking is best for the Central Coast climate?
Composite decking is often the best fit for the Central Coast because it resists the moisture and salt air that warp and rot untreated wood. That said, properly treated and sealed wood holds up well too. We'll recommend the right material after seeing your site's sun and exposure.
Do you build composite decks with custom railings?
Yes. We build composite decks with custom railings matched to your home's style and color. Composite is our most popular choice for homeowners who want a great-looking deck without the ongoing sanding, staining, and board replacement that wood requires.
Do I need a permit to build a deck?
Most decks in California require a building permit, especially anything elevated or attached to the house. As your licensed contractor, we handle the permit questions and make sure your deck meets local code — so you don't have to navigate that yourself.
How long does it take to build a deck?
Most residential decks take a few days to a couple of weeks once construction begins, depending on size and complexity. We give you a clear schedule before we start and stick to it — finishing on time is one of the things our customers mention most.
