The owner Gary finally arrived and after much discussion said - "If we correct our mistake we will be out of business!" I had compromised on many of there "changes" due to the lack of the builder not being able to think ahead. I was not able to compromise on the deck being enlarged and having only one step. I had paid them for 40% of the contract plus a side job of some dry rot repair on a water heater shed. They did not finish the shed as they cut the sheeting wrong twice and I believe were afraid to tell the boss they needed more material. There was much blame among themselves for there mistakes. The lead carpenter (Travis) blamed his helper for placing new piers on the wrong side of the string. I actually thought the builder Travis could build fairly well but our deck was somewhat involved and he could not THINK. He didn't have a plan for the second story or how to build around our oak tree. I put most of the blame on the owners of the company. They took on a project that was WAY out of their league. They failed to communicate with their workers the contract or desired outcome. They did not inspect the job as it progressed but we're busy building fences in Napa. They were trying to be a deck company with slick advertising and employing a real builder to do the work for them. They should stick to fences. They cannot build decks. When they make a mistake they expect the owner to pay for it. They left me with a 1/3 finished deck and the building errors in basic construction were were of great interest to the builders that followed them for a bid on finishing the project. Not one builder (5 came to look) thought they could use the upper deck structure in its current ugly and impractical state. I do not know about their fences, but they are DEFINITELY NOT A DECK BUILDING COMPANY !!!

These were accomplished swiftly and well. Plus he consulted with me on: new hardware for my front doors (he is acquiring for me through wholesaler); two replacement doors I am considering for downstairs; toilet mechanisms; a potential water heater fix that I can accomplish myself at no cost; and review of a deck that may be rotting in some places, including taking measurements and based on a sample materials on hand, gave me a rough estimate of the materials cost (not labor) it would run to replace the entire deck.

Try these guys if you want to do a roof repair and forget about it for good. They focus on quality above all else.
They don't do repairs, but the woman who answered the call gave me two nearby companies who do to check out.

Clearly a disaster to work with. The contract was to remove the large two story deck and reconstruct it again on the same footprint. I insisted the builder be there for the tear down so there wouldn't be any question about the desired outcome. They continually wanted to change the design....

"It was a pleasure to work with Eric, we hired him for a complete backyard renovation which included tree removal, leveling the surface and place pavers and a deck on top. Also built a retaining wall.
The work came out very nice in part because of the great design ideas that Eric gave us.
The project ran into some unexpected issues that Eric was able to overcome nicely.
We were impressed how Eric handled the project and met all the deliverables, also his team was extremely polite an professional.
Our backyard now looks like the ones advertised in magazines.
All this led us to start a new project with him to replace the cracked driveway with nice new pavers."

FAQs for deck repair projects in Clayton, CA
While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct home features. Porches offer a roof that protects from the elements when coming and going from the house. Generally, porches are on the front of your home. On the other hand, decks are generally built in the backyard of a home and offer no roof or protection from the elements, like rain or snow. Porches typically require less maintenance and upkeep thanks to the roof, but both features require regular cleaning and repairs to maintain good condition.
There are a few ways to make your deck look new without professional power washing. First, you can use either store-bought cleaners or dish soap and water to mop your deck regularly to clean off accumulated dirt. To clean your deck and remove mold, mix two gallons of warm water with a ½ cup of distilled white vinegar or apple cider vinegar, rinse the area, and then scrub with a stiff-bristled broom.
For an average deck of about 300 square feet, you can expect to pay around $100. However, if you have a spacious 1,000-square-foot deck or more, expect that cost to be closer to $300 to $400. Likewise, if it’s been a long time since you deep cleaned your deck, the deck professional might need extra time and to use deck-specific detergent, which will increase the overall cost.
You should have your deck professionally cleaned twice a year—once in the spring and once in the fall. A springtime cleaning wipes away grime and mold that accumulated during the wet winter months, making it sparkly clean for summer use. Likewise, cleaning your deck in the fall allows you to wash away grease and leftover mess from the fun summer months rather than letting them soak into your deck over the winter.
The cost to build a deck is $8,025 on average. However, this cost can range anywhere from $1,500 to $22,000, depending on multiple factors, such as size, materials, and deck type. You can expect to pay $30 to $60 per square foot when building a new deck.
Cedar decks are often the most cost-effective option, ranging from $4 to $9per square foot for materials. However, pressure-treated decking, which is resistant to rot, is more expensive, ranging from $15 to $25 per square foot for materials.
