The crew finished our composite deck in four days and left the yard cleaner than they found it. We have been out there every evening since - best thing we have done to this house.
Marcus T., Antioch - Composite deck installation
They pulled the permit, handled the HOA submission, and kept me updated the whole way through. The Trex deck looks exactly like what I had in mind, and it passed inspection on the first visit.
Jennifer R., Concord - Trex deck installation
We had soft boards and a wobbly railing that had been getting worse for two seasons. The team identified the structural problem right away and replaced what needed to go. Solid now.
David M., Bay Point - Deck repair and replacement
We respond within 1 business day - no waiting around. This estimate is completely free and carries no obligation. After you submit, someone from our office will call you to schedule a free on-site visit where we measure the space and walk you through your options in person.
Custom Pittsburg Deck & Fence is based in Pittsburg, CA and serves homeowners across 12 East Bay communities, including Antioch, Concord, Walnut Creek, and surrounding cities. We offer same-week scheduling for estimates and typically begin construction within two to four weeks of permit approval.
Any deck attached to your home or more than 30 inches off the ground requires a city permit before work begins. Skipping the permit can block a home sale and void your homeowner's insurance - it is never worth the risk.
Pittsburg summers regularly push past 95 degrees, which accelerates cracking and warping in unsealed wood. Composite decking resists heat damage and moisture far better, making it the lower-maintenance choice for this climate.
The Delta breeze carries evening moisture from the Bay that speeds up wood decay on surfaces that have not been properly sealed. Homeowners near the waterfront or in lower-lying areas should factor this into their material choice. The North American Deck and Railing Association publishes maintenance guides for climate-specific deck care.
Pittsburg sits on expansive clay that swells in winter and shrinks in summer. Footings not dug to the right depth can shift with this movement, causing decks to lean or pull from the house within a few years.
If fewer than a third of your boards are damaged and the frame is solid, repair is usually the smarter call. If the frame itself is rotting or the footings have shifted, a full rebuild protects you better and costs less long-term.
Plan to clean and reseal a pressure-treated or cedar deck every two to three years in this climate. Waiting longer lets heat and moisture break down the wood faster than necessary, shortening the deck's useful life significantly.

Sloped yards are common in Pittsburg's hillside neighborhoods and require taller support posts on the downhill side. This adds some cost but can create a striking elevated deck with excellent views. An experienced contractor will assess your slope during the initial visit.
If you want a deck that holds up with minimal upkeep - no staining, sealing, or sanding - composite is the right call. If you prefer natural wood character and are willing to maintain it every few years, pressure-treated or cedar are solid choices. The California Building Standards Commission publishes guidelines on outdoor material performance.
Composite and wood decks are ready to use as soon as construction and final inspection are complete - there is no curing period. However, if you have a new wood deck, wait six to twelve months before applying the first stain or sealant so the wood has time to dry out fully.

Pittsburg is a city of roughly 75,000 to 80,000 people in Contra Costa County, sitting at the edge of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta where it meets Suisun Bay. The city has a mix of postwar neighborhoods built from the 1940s through the 1970s and newer subdivisions that have gone up on the east side of town over the last two decades. That range of housing stock - from older ranch homes to newer hillside builds - means we work on a wide variety of properties across the city.
Local landmarks like the Pittsburg Marina on the waterfront and the neighborhoods near Los Medanos College represent two different sides of the city - the waterfront areas where the Delta breeze brings regular moisture, and the inland neighborhoods where summer heat is the bigger concern. Both environments shape how we approach material choices and deck maintenance on every project.
Pittsburg has a long history as a working-class city with roots in the industrial trades, and many homeowners here understand the value of skilled work done right. The Contra Costa County Hazard Mitigation Plan documents the clay soil and seismic conditions that affect construction throughout the region - factors we build around on every project. We are proud to serve this community and take the quality of our work here seriously.
