About Us

We are a Marin deck crew. We build decks in the county we live in — on the same steep, foggy, fire-zone lots our customers live on.

Our story

Marin Deck Pros started with a simple observation: most deck builders treat a deck like a flat rectangle, and most Marin lots are anything but flat. A deck here has to deal with a slope, with redwood shade that never quite dries, with fog rolling in off the bay, and with fire-zone rules that are not optional.

So we built the crew around that lot. We measure the slope before we talk about boards. We check the town's permit counter, the fire-zone map, and the access for materials before we give a price. And the crew that starts your deck is the crew that finishes it — no handoffs halfway through.

We are a small crew on purpose. It keeps the work consistent and the communication direct: you talk to the people building your deck.

How we build for Marin lots

Hillside lots

Engineered footings and posts, set for the slope and the soil — not guessed. Stairs and landings are planned with the grade, not added as an afterthought.

Fog & shade

In damp, shaded lots we steer toward materials and details that dry out: ventilation under the deck, spacing that sheds water, and boards that tolerate mildew.

Wildfire zones (WUI)

In wildland-urban interface areas we build in fire-resistant details from the start — ignition-resistant materials near the ground, metal flashing, and no debris traps underneath.

Small lots, tight access

Many Marin homes sit on narrow streets with little staging room. We plan deliveries and cutting around that, so the build does not take over your street or your neighbours' patience.

Three promises

  1. One crew, start to finish. The people who frame your deck are the people who finish it. You will know who is on your lot and when.
  2. Permitted and engineered. We pull the permit, provide the drawings and engineering where the town requires them, and build to the approved plan — not to a shortcut.
  3. Honest material advice. If redwood is wrong for your shady lot, we will say so. If composite is more than you need, we will say that too. The right board for your lot matters more than the most expensive one.

How a project runs

  1. Site visit. We walk the lot, measure the slope, look at access and soil, and talk through material and layout.
  2. Price and plan. A written price with the permit and engineering path spelled out — no allowances hiding the real number.
  3. Permit and build. We submit the drawings and build to the approved plan, keeping you posted on schedule.
  4. Walkthrough. We walk the finished deck with you, point by point, and hand over care notes for your material.
Want to meet the crew? The fastest way is a site visit — we will walk your lot and talk through the options in person.
