Ellis Building Company was absolutely incredible to work with! They repaired my business’s deck and exceeded every expectation. The crew was fast, professional, and delivered flawless, high quality results. The attention to detail and level of craftsmanship were outstanding everything feels solid, looks beautiful, and fits perfectly with our space. What really stood out was their ability to source top-tier materials that were ideal for our unique and custom environment. The whole process was seamless, and the end result transformed the look and feel of our business. If you’re looking for a company that combines speed, quality, and expertise. Ellis Building Company is the one to call. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Exceptional Work on Our Composite Deck! We recently hired Ellis Building Company to build a composite deck, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. We are absolutely thrilled with the final result—it has completely transformed our outdoor space! From the first consultation, Mr Ellis was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced with composite materials. He took the time to explain our options, offered helpful design ideas, and worked with us to choose the perfect colors and layout to complement our home. The craftsmanship is impeccable. Every board is perfectly aligned, the transitions are seamless, and the finishing details (like hidden fasteners and trim work) show true attention to quality and longevity. The deck is not only beautiful but also incredibly sturdy and low-maintenance—exactly what we were hoping for with composite. Communication throughout the project was excellent. We were kept updated at every stage. 100% satisfied.

We were referred to Charles by a friend who had a great experience, and now we see why. From the first meeting Charles was upfront, professional, and clear about the plan. He gave us a timeline and budget and delivered exactly what he promised. We always knew what was happening, and any questions were answered quickly. The main project was a two-level deck, and it turned out even better than we imagined. It?s sturdy, well designed, and feels like a natural extension of our home. His crew also added finishing touches inside that pulled everything together. Their workmanship shows real pride?clean lines, careful details, and a site kept neat every day. The team showed up on time, worked hard, and treated our home with respect. What impressed us most was the integrity Charles brought to the job. No hidden costs, no surprises, no corners cut just honest communication and excellent work. Project was finished on schedule, within budget, and has completely transformed how we enjoy our home

I recently hired Charles Ellis from Ellis Building Company to build a new deck and porch at my home . I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish everything was absolutely perfect. The work was completed promptly, and the quality of craftsmanship exceeded my expectations. The newly constructed deck and porch are not only beautiful, but also sturdy and well built. Throughout the project, the contractor kept me informed of every step, including any minor delays, which were always communicated clearly and professionally. It was clear that Mr. Ellis takes pride in his work and care about customer satisfaction. The team was respectful, the worksite was kept clean, and the entire process was smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Charles Ellis to anyone looking for dependable, high-quality construction work. I would not hesitate to hire Ellis Building Company again.

This guy charged us half the cost of the contract to start the work. We found out later that this is not appropriate. I pulled out money from my retirement account to do this. Every single piece of work that he did for us was unfinished and not good. He would show up at the beginning of the services and the lead folks with limited communication services for the rest of the time and never reappear. He did substandard work and now we have to take them to court to get our money back. I would really recommend that you not hire him. Everything that he did for us, we have to hire somebody to fix. And he did not do that much for us. And when we tried to work it out with him he did not deal with us fairly. And then he tried to overcharge us for the things that he did do, this was an expensive lesson for us to learn..
Response from Ellis Building Company LLC
"We follow all California contractor laws, including deposit limits and payment schedules. This project began on time and was progressing as agreed when the client chose to end it early and requested a same-day refund. At no point did we abandon the job, and all completed work met industry standards. We stand by our workmanship, communication, and fair business practices."

We hired Charles at Ellis Building Company to build a walk-out deck with French doors, stairs, and high-end railing—and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, Charles and his team demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. The quality of work is absolutely top-notch. Every element—from the smooth functionality of the French doors to the sturdy and elegant railing—was built with care and precision. The deck not only looks beautiful but feels solid and safe, which is exactly what we were hoping for. Charles was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process, keeping us informed at every stage and making sure our vision was fully realized. He was punctual, respectful of our time and space, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was done to the highest standard. It’s rare to find a contractor who is not only skilled but also genuinely easy to work with. If

Charles Ellis and his crew provided exceptional service when building a large deck outside and installing wood flooring in my home. I was impressed with their attention to detail and commitment to producing a beautiful finished product. They took care with my belongings and were careful to put things back where they belonged after they had been moved. Genuine, friendly, professional, all around great people to work with! I would recommend them without reservation and will definitely call them again for any future needs.

We had a balcony off the master bedroom that was rotted and in desperate need of repair. Charles gave us a very reasonable estimate and began the project three weeks later! They showed up every day at the designated time, finished work when they said they would, and cleaned up! They finished our balcony in the five days as promised for the agreed amount. It is absolutely gorgeous! This is the most professional company we have ever worked with, and we have worked with quite a few others! Charles is an incredible find! We have a few other projects on our list of home improvements, and they are definitely in his capable hands! We highly recommend Ellis Building Company!

Our experience with Ellis Building Company was outstanding. Our upstairs wood deck was demolished and replaced with a beautiful composite deck. Charles was extremely helpful in choosing the best materials and colors for the job. He kept in contact with us every step of the way. The work was completed in a timely manner, the cleanup was thorough and all details were carefully attended to. The professionalism of Charles and his crew was excellent. We highly recommend Ellis Building Company and we will certainly contact them for any future projects we might need.

I interviewed about six different deck builders before deciding on Ellis Building for our project. The quality of the materials and workmanship of the deck are excellent. The crew was professional, courteous, and diligent. They kept the job site clean and organized and knew what they were doing. The final result turned out exactly as planned. I highly recommend Ellis Building and would use them again in the future.

Without a doubt this was the BEST lead yet from HomeAdvisor!! Charles is a professional as they get and the quality of workmanship was first class , the pricing is competitive as was the follow-up and personal attention to detail. RUN don't walk, if you need quality deck work done and go to ELLIS Deck and DESIGN.
