Deck Design
Your Outdoor Living Room is Waiting.
Designing Decks That Are Made for Life in Sonoma County
Here in Northern California, we live outside as much as we can. A deck isn’t just a platform on the back of your house; it’s your outdoor dining room, your sunny lounge, your spot for morning coffee. It’s an extension of your home. At The Design & Building Works, we design custom decks that help you get the most out of your property.
A great deck feels like it belongs. It flows naturally from your house into your yard and takes advantage of the best views. But it also has to be safe and built to last. That’s where good design comes in. It’s about more than just picking out pretty wood. It’s about understanding building codes, how people move through a space, and how to create a structure that is solid and secure.
Our team combines a creative eye with the technical know-how to design a deck that is both beautiful and up to code. Whether you’re thinking of a simple spot for the grill or a multi-level space for big parties, we can create a design that’s perfect for you.
How We Work
Our Deck Design Process
We make the process of designing and permitting your new deck simple and clear.
- The First Conversation: It starts with a free, one-hour chat. We’ll talk about how you want to use the space, what materials you like, and what you’re hoping to spend.
- Creative Design: We’ll come up with a custom design that fits your house and your lifestyle. We think about everything from where the sun will be to how to create privacy.
- See it in 3D: We’ll create a realistic 3D rendering so you can see exactly what your new deck will look like. It helps you make decisions about railings, stairs, and other details with confidence.
- Plans & Permits: Yes, even decks need permits most of the time. We create the detailed plans that the building department requires and handle the submittal process for you. It’s one less thing for you to worry about.
