Learn MoreTell us about your project - what you are thinking, roughly how large, and how you plan to use the space. You do not need to have everything figured out. We respond within 1 business day and schedule a free on-site visit at a time that works for you.
We come to your home, measure the space, and walk through your ideas together. We check your yard's slope, sun exposure, soil conditions, and any HOA guidelines that apply. You receive a detailed written estimate and, once approved, we handle the City of Gilroy permit application on your behalf.
Once the permit is approved, our crew schedules your build and gets to work. Most residential decks are complete in three to seven days on-site. We pass the city inspection, clean up the site, and walk you through the finished project. You get the permit paperwork to keep with your home records.
We carry a valid California contractor license and full general liability and workers compensation insurance on every project. If anything goes wrong on your property, you are protected - not on the hook.
Every estimate starts with an in-person visit to your yard. We measure, review your goals, and deliver a written quote within a few days. There is no charge for the visit and no pressure to sign anything on the spot.
We have built decks and fences across Gilroy and the surrounding South Bay since 2016. We know the city permit process, local soil conditions, and which neighborhoods have HOA design review requirements.
Every project we build goes through the Gilroy Building Division permit and inspection process - no shortcuts. You receive the signed permit paperwork at project completion, which protects your investment when you sell.

"We had a sloped backyard that was basically unusable for years. They designed a two-level deck that works perfectly with the grade and finished ahead of the schedule they gave us. The permit was handled without us making a single call to the city."
Marcus T., Morgan Hill - Custom deck design and build
"Our old wood deck was splintering and the posts felt soft. They replaced the whole thing with composite boards and new framing. The crew explained each step and cleaned up every day. We have had it three summers now and it still looks brand new."
Renata S., Gilroy - Composite deck installation
"I asked about a privacy fence and they came out the same week for the estimate. The wood fence they built is solid - I can tell they used good material and set the posts right. My HOA approved it without any issues, which I was a little worried about."
James W., Hollister - Wood and privacy fence installation
We respond within 1 business day. There is no obligation and no pressure - just a straight answer about what your project would cost. After you submit, someone from our office will call you to schedule a free on-site visit where we measure your space and walk through your options together.
(669) 205-6734Custom Gilroy Deck & Fence serves 12 communities across the South Bay and Santa Cruz County, from Gilroy north to Los Gatos and west to the Santa Cruz coast. We typically schedule on-site estimates within the same week and carry the same standards, materials, and permit process to every city we work in.
Composite decking resists the UV fading and drying that Gilroy's 90-plus-degree summers cause in untreated wood. Wood can match composite's performance if sealed every one to two years, but most homeowners underestimate how quickly Gilroy's dry heat accelerates that maintenance clock.
Yes, almost always. Any deck attached to your home or elevated more than 30 inches requires a City of Gilroy building permit before work starts. The City of Gilroy Building Division handles permitting, and an unpermitted deck can create issues when you sell.
The posts, beams, and joists hidden below your deck surface carry all the weight. Poor framing - especially where the deck attaches to the house - is the most common cause of deck failures. A building inspection verifies this structure before it is covered up by the decking boards.
Surface boards that are cracked or faded can often be replaced without touching the frame. But a deck that feels spongy underfoot, bounces when you walk on it, or has soft posts usually has structural rot that makes full replacement the smarter investment.
Much of Gilroy sits on expansive clay soil that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. Footings dug too shallow will shift with these seasonal cycles, leading to a deck that tilts or develops uneven boards within a few years of installation.
Outdoor decks consistently rank among the higher-return remodeling projects in the South Bay, where outdoor living is practical most of the year. A well-built, permitted deck signals to buyers that a home has been cared for. An unpermitted deck can have the opposite effect during escrow.

If you catch a problem early, replacing a handful of boards is straightforward and affordable. Once the framing is soft or the ledger connection has deteriorated, you are looking at structural work - and full replacement is usually the more cost-effective path. The North American Deck and Railing Association recommends an annual deck inspection to catch problems before they become expensive.
Not for most of the build. You should plan to be present for the initial site walkthrough and the final project walkthrough, but daily construction does not require you to be home. Your contractor should provide a direct contact number so you can reach them if questions come up during the project.
Sloped yards are common in Gilroy and are handled with elevated framing or multi-level designs. Existing concrete patios, old decks, and tree roots can all be worked around - removal of old structures is typically included in the project scope. Bring these up during the estimate so they are factored into the quote.

Gilroy is a mid-size city of roughly 60,000 residents at the southern end of Santa Clara County, about 30 miles south of San Jose. The city is widely known as the Garlic Capital of the World, a title earned by the garlic farms and processing operations that have shaped the area's identity for generations. The annual Gilroy Garlic Festival draws visitors from across California each summer and is one of the most attended food festivals in the country.
Most of Gilroy's housing stock was built between the 1980s and early 2000s, with a newer wave of subdivisions added on the eastern and southern edges of the city - areas like Glen Loma Ranch. These homes sit on lots between 5,000 and 8,000 square feet and are now at the age where outdoor improvements become a priority. Community landmarks like Christmas Hill Park - home to youth sports leagues and the Garlic Festival - and the Gilroy Premium Outlets anchor the north end of the city and define the geography most locals use to describe neighborhoods.
Gilroy sits in a valley that traps heat in summer - temperatures regularly exceed 90 degrees from June through September, with triple-digit days in July and August. That climate makes outdoor living genuinely appealing for most of the year, and it also makes material selection and proper sealing critical for any outdoor structure. Our team has built decks across all of Gilroy's neighborhoods, from the older streets near downtown to the newer subdivisions along the eastern corridor, and we know how the local conditions - heat, clay soils, seismic zone requirements, and HOA guidelines - affect every project we take on.
