Our Story

How we look at a deck job

We build, repair and reseal decks for homeowners around Marana and the Tucson area. Most of us got into this trade doing framing and carpentry work before specializing in decks, because it's the part of the house that takes the most abuse from sun and weather. You call us when you want a new deck built right the first time, or when an old one needs saving instead of tearing out.

The thing that worries most homeowners is a deck that's started to sag, feel spongy underfoot, or pull away from the house at the ledger board. That's usually rot at the ledger, undersized joists, or footings that were never poured deep enough for the load. We open up the framing before we quote a repair, because patching the decking over a bad structure just hides the problem for another year.

Why Choose Us

What you get when you hire us

None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.

Licensed & Insured

We carry the license and insurance this trade requires in Arizona. If a ladder dents a gutter or a post hole hits a sprinkler line, that's on us to fix, not you.

Permits Handled

Decks over 30 inches off the ground and anything attached to your house usually require a permit and an inspection. We handle that paperwork and schedule the inspection so you don't have to chase it down.

Written Quotes

Every quote breaks out labor and material by line, so you can see what the railing costs versus the decking versus the footings. No verbal numbers that change once we start.

On-Time Scheduling

Decking jobs run into weather delays sometimes, especially during monsoon season. When that happens we call you instead of leaving you guessing.

Material Options

Wood costs less up front but requires restaining every couple years out here. Composite costs more but shrugs off the sun, and we'll walk you through that tradeoff before you commit to either.

Local Crew

We've seen what a west-facing deck in Marana does to untreated pine, and we build around that instead of finding out the hard way. Local knowledge changes what we spec before the job even starts.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about who's doing the work and how to check on it.

How long has this deck builder been doing the work?
Deck building experience in this trade typically comes from a background in general carpentry or framing before specializing specifically in outdoor structures like decks, pergolas and railings. That framing background matters most when it comes to sizing joists and footings correctly.
Does the crew use their own employees or subcontractors?
A dedicated deck building crew that works the same jobs day to day keeps quality consistent from the framing stage through the final railing install. It's worth asking any contractor directly whether the people showing up on-site are employees or subcontracted labor.
Can I see photos of past deck projects?
Most deck contractors keep a photo portfolio of completed builds and repairs, organized by material type and style, available on request or through an online gallery. Photos of framing before the decking goes on are worth asking for too, since that shows the structural work that doesn't stay visible.
Why hire a smaller local deck builder instead of a large remodeling company?
A smaller, local deck-focused contractor generally spends more time on-site per project and can make framing decisions in person rather than through a project manager relaying information. Larger remodeling firms often subcontract deck work out entirely, adding a layer between the homeowner and the actual builder.
Where is Marana Deck Co based?
Marana Deck Co is based in Marana, Arizona, and serves the surrounding Tucson metro area including Oro Valley, Catalina and Sahuarita.
How far in advance do I need to book a deck build?
Scheduling windows for deck construction vary by season, with spring and fall being the busiest times for outdoor construction in southern Arizona before the summer heat sets in. Booking four to six weeks ahead of a target start date is a reasonable rule of thumb for most deck contractors.
Does the crew clean up the job site when the work is done?
Removing old lumber, cut-offs, packaging and hardware scraps is standard practice at the end of a deck project, leaving the yard usable the same day work wraps up. Any leftover material like extra boards or fasteners should be discussed before the job starts.
What happens if something gets damaged during a deck build, like a sprinkler line or fence?
A licensed and insured deck contractor carries liability coverage specifically for this kind of accidental property damage during construction. Any damage should get reported and repaired as part of the job, not left for the homeowner to deal with separately.
Will a deck builder finish a job another contractor started or abandoned?
Taking over a partially built deck is possible, but it starts with an inspection of the existing framing and footings to check whether they meet code and were built correctly before any new work continues. Some abandoned decks need partial demolition if the existing structure doesn't hold up to inspection.
How can a homeowner tell if deck work is being done correctly?
Checking that footings are poured to the required depth, joists are spaced correctly for the decking material, and the ledger board is properly flashed and bolted are the main structural points to verify. A permit inspection by the local building department is the most reliable outside check that the work meets code.
