“MS Construction & Services did an excellent job replacing our rotten deck with a new one, as well as completing some other wood related small projects around the yard. …”

Palo Alto projects come to us for the usual reasons: a deck that has outlived its framing, a slope nobody wants to touch, or a house that finally deserves the outdoor room it never had.

The proposal you get after the visit is the price. It moves only with changes you approve in writing, or with conditions we genuinely could not see until the old deck came off.

Deck permits here are issued by City of Palo Alto. Under the state code a deck needs one unless it meets four conditions, explained in do you need a permit for a deck. Locally, the city’s deck handout requires a permit when the deck is over 30 inches above grade, attached to the building, has steps, or is part of the exit path.
