Decks are all we do
We only build decks, deck railings and pergolas. That's the whole company. A deck isn't a side job for us, and when your name is on the recommendation, we don't treat it like one.
Before the listing
A gray, worn deck shows up in the listing photos, and a deck in bad shape can come up in an inspection and slow a sale down. Michael looks at it, tells the seller what it needs and puts it in a written, itemized estimate. If there's a listing date, tell Michael at the visit: when we can start depends on our schedule. The build itself typically takes 7 to 21 working days.
After the closing
Most of the deck owners we meet got the deck with the house and have no idea what's under the boards. A contractor who answers the phone is something your buyer will remember you for.
What we take on
Deck replacements, and deck repairs when the deck is 300 sq ft or larger. We don't do small fixes or punch-list items.
What your client gets
Questions go straight to Michael, the owner. Licensed California contractor with general liability insurance. We don't disappear halfway through the job.

Budget ranges for your client
Our current ranges, so the number you give a client lines up with the estimate they get later. Prices are for a built and finished deck on level ground.
| Material | New deck, per sq ft | Replacing an old deck, per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure-treated wood | $40–55 | $45–60 |
| Redwood | $55–67 | $57–69 |
| Composite(Trex, TimberTech AZEK, Eva-Last, Deckorators, Fiberon) | $50–75 | $50–80 |
| Hardwood | $65–80 | $70–85 |
The deck price covers the frame, boards and fasteners; for a replacement it also covers taking down the old deck. Delivery, hauling away the old deck, stairs, railings and a permit if the project needs one are separate lines on the estimate. A slope, a raised deck or tight access raises the per sq ft price. The permit is a separate service for $2,500, and the city's fees are paid to the city directly.
Repairs are priced after Michael sees the deck, because two decks with the same symptom can need a few new boards or a new frame.
Pergolas are priced by footprint and design, so we range them once we see the size.
These are ranges, not a quote. The exact price comes in the written estimate after Michael sees the site.

"We hired MS Construction and Services for a big redwood deck and pergola project in Los Altos. It was a pretty complex job … They helped us pick the stain color, and honestly it came out perfect."
Éric S., homeowner, Los Altos · Google review, October 2026
"For a residential project in the Almaden area of San Jose, I brought in MS Construction and Services for a substantial exterior scope: about 480 sq. ft. of Eva-Last Apex Plus composite decking, a roughly 250 sq. ft. pergola, and about 54 linear feet of aluminum picket railing. … That is what I value in a good subcontractor: a crew that takes responsibility for its work and gives the general contractor confidence that their part of the project is in dependable hands."

Referral fee and terms
We're open to paying a referral fee for clients you introduce, where the rules that apply to you and to us allow it. Before anything is agreed, we check that it works for both sides. Then we agree the terms with each partner individually and put them in writing.
If you're a licensed agent, we work it out with your broker first. If a fee is allowed at all, it goes through your broker, and your client is told in writing before anything is agreed.
On the referral side, your part is the introduction, with your client's OK. The estimate and the contract are between us and your client.
Thanks. Michael will contact your client, and we'll text you once we've reached them.
