Custom Pittsburg Deck & Fence serves Concord homeowners with custom deck design, composite and Trex decking, deck repair and replacement, pergolas, and fence installation. We pull City of Concord permits on every project and understand how the region's clay soils and hot summers affect what gets built and how.
Concord's ranch homes typically have rear yards with modest grades and concrete patios that are decades old and often cracked. We design each custom deck around your yard's actual conditions, City of Concord setback requirements, and how you plan to use the finished space.
Concord regularly sees temperatures above 90 degrees from June through September, and that sustained heat causes untreated wood decks to crack, fade, and splinter over time. Trex composite decking resists UV breakdown and keeps its appearance with minimal maintenance year after year.
A large portion of Concord's housing stock dates from the 1950s through 1970s, which means many existing decks are at the point where deferred maintenance has compounded into structural issues. We assess every deck before recommending repair or full replacement, so you get an honest answer rather than a default rebuild quote.
Concord's hot summers make shade structures a practical addition, not just a decorative one. A pergola over a deck or patio can drop the surface temperature significantly and extend the number of hours the space is actually usable during peak summer months.
Concord's extended dry periods bake exposed wood, and the winter rains that follow push moisture into any open crack or end grain. Staining and sealing before the rainy season is one of the most cost-effective ways to extend the life of any wood deck in this climate.
Concord homeowners who entertain outdoors benefit from a solid patio cover that keeps the space usable through summer afternoons and on rainy evenings in the wet season. A covered deck also protects the decking surface itself, reducing long-term maintenance costs.
Concord is the largest city in Contra Costa County, with most of its neighborhoods built during the postwar boom of the 1950s through 1970s. That means a significant share of homes are now 40 to 70 years old, and the original decks, fences, and patio structures built with them are either overdue for repair or have already been replaced once with work that may not have been done to current code. The City of Concord Building Division requires permits for new decks and structural replacements, and inspections are part of the process - skipping that step creates liability issues when the home is eventually sold.
The climate in Concord creates specific demands on outdoor structures that contractors working primarily in coastal cities may not anticipate. Summers routinely push past 90 degrees, drying out unprotected wood and degrading caulk and sealant faster than moderate climates. The expansive clay soils under most of the city swell with winter rain and shrink in the summer heat, which puts cyclical stress on any footing not drilled below the active soil layer. Deck builders who account for both the permit process and the soil conditions from the start produce work that holds up through Concord's seasons rather than developing problems within the first few years.
Our crew works throughout Concord regularly, and we pull permits through the City of Concord Building Division for deck and fence projects. We know the standard residential permit timeline and what drawings and site details the inspectors look for, which keeps the process moving without unnecessary back-and-forth.
Concord's neighborhoods vary more than most cities this size. The older flatland homes near downtown and Todos Santos Plaza were built in the 1940s and 1950s on smaller lots with original concrete flatwork that is showing its age. Newer subdivisions on the eastern edges of the city, closer to the hills near Clayton Road, have larger lots with different grading challenges. We have worked on both, and the approach is not the same for each.
Concord borders several communities we also serve. Homeowners near the western edges of the city are close to Clyde and the boundaries of Pleasant Hill. If you are not sure which jurisdiction your property falls under, call us and we will confirm before any work begins.
Get in touch by phone or through our online form. We respond within one business day and ask a few questions about your project so we arrive at your Concord property prepared to assess the full scope.
We visit your property, evaluate the site conditions and any existing structure, and deliver a written estimate at no charge. Cost questions are answered at this visit so there are no surprises once the project starts.
We submit the permit application and required drawings to the City of Concord Building Division on your behalf. We schedule your start date once the permit is in hand and keep you posted on timing.
Our crew completes the work, the City of Concord inspector signs off, and we walk through the finished project with you before we consider the job complete.

Concord is the largest city in Contra Costa County, with about 130,000 residents spread across a mix of older flatland neighborhoods and newer hillside subdivisions. The city grew quickly during the postwar decades as families moved east of San Francisco seeking suburban housing, and the ranch-style homes built during that period still make up the majority of Concord's residential stock. Downtown Concord centers on Todos Santos Plaza, a tree-lined public square that hosts farmers markets and community events and serves as the heart of the city. The Concord Pavilion, one of the best-known outdoor venues in the East Bay, sits on the northeastern edge of the city near the hills.
Homes in Concord are predominantly single-family with front and back yards on lots of roughly 6,000 to 8,000 square feet. About 55 percent of units are owner-occupied, which is high for a California city of this size and reflects a community of long-term residents invested in their properties. The housing stock ranges from 1940s bungalows near downtown to 1990s two-story homes closer to the Clayton Road corridor. We also serve the nearby community of Clyde, a small unincorporated area that borders Concord to the west, where housing conditions are similar.
