​Yair and his team are incredible. Over the course of a multi-phase, two-year backyard renovation, Yair was hands down the best contractor we worked with. He's a rare find: someone who actually communicates clearly, offers fair pricing, and delivers impeccable work at a fast pace. Highly recommend! read more

I had an excellent experience working with Yair and Dr Deck, who built a truly outstanding deck for my home. I initially contacted Yair through Yelp, and he responded immediately to schedule an on-site walkthrough and provide an estimate. The project involved rebuilding an upper main deck, a lower deck, and two sets of stairs using composite materials (Trex/TimberTech). Because of the unique design of the house and lot, all elements were irregularly shaped, so I specifically wanted a true deck specialist. Yair quickly provided a detailed and competitive quote, offered expert guidance on design and construction details, and brought material samples to help with selections. His pricing was the most competitive given the scope of work, and he committed to an aggressive one-month timeline that was my hard deadline to ensure the deck would be completed in time for Christmas holiday parties. Yair's five-person crew arrived on time every day, kept the site clean at the end of each shift, and demonstrated exceptional attention to detail. The workmanship was excellent throughout: hidden clip systems were used for a clean, screwless look across the deck surfaces, countersunk plugs were used along the borders, and all cuts and measurements were precise. As someone who works in real estate development and is very detail-oriented about construction quality, I was extremely impressed with the final result. Additionally, the team went above and beyond by reinforcing the foundation and underlying framing to prevent future settling, rather than relying solely on the original footings that had been compromised by termite damage. Yair was on site daily to supervise the work and provide expert input on several challenging transitions and angles created by the home's layout. The project was completed in just 12 working days--ahead of the planned 15-day schedule--with no cost overruns. Overall, I highly recommend Dr Deck to anyone looking for high-quality craftsmanship, professionalism, and reliable execution on a deck project. read more

Our deck looks better than we ever could have imagined! Your employees are the most dedicated, respectful, detail-oriented, thoughtful workers we've ever had the pleasure of having on our property. They even made a temporary fence and dog run to keep our tiny Chihuahua safe and able to reach the yard during the entire project. Which absolutely stayed on their promised timeline, even through the 110°+ scorching days! Yair, we can't thank you enough for your flexibility and your willingness to work with us and and all of the changes we requested while the project was already in progress. We were both pleasantly surprised that it was able to be finished on time! And the craftsmanship is exquisite! Can't tell you how many compliments we've already had on our deck! read more

I had a 30 year-old deck in serious disrepair, and I needed it to be replaced. I had a reference from someone I know for Dr. Deck/Yair. He came out and gave me a fair estimate, and within 9 working days the job was done. The entire crew was pleasant, quiet, clean and highly focused. They were a joy to have around. Yair was very present and attentive, and consulted me on a number of issues which I hadn't anticipated. The work was beautiful. My neighbors were commenting, even ones I don't know!

My family and I had an excellent experience working with Yair and his team, from start to finish. I was most impressed by the team's professionalism, communication style, and their ATTENTION TO DETAIL. The final result is fantastic and I have had multiple contractors and neighbors ask for Yair's contact information since. I am so grateful to have found someone who has a true passion for the trade.

I had a really terrific experience working with Yair and his team. We had a complicated job in South Pasadena where the frame of our deck (~15-20 feet above the ground on our sloped property) had completely rotted away. Yair was very professional and thoughtful during the entire process from the quote to the finishing the trip. He shared updates with us every few days with pictures and his estimates were fair and competitive. They were fast and the quality of their work was better than we expected. I HIGHLY recommend working with Yair. We could not have had a better experience. read more

Yair and his crew are simply the best deck builders money can buy. I'm a former cabinetmaker myself and I was looking for a crew that operates at this level of detail.

Nothing but good things to say about this one. read more

Getting a deck is a huge investment and my wife and I were thorough in searching for different contractors. We were very impressed with the photos on Dr. Decks yelp page and after weighing our contractor options, they clearly stood out. Throughout every step of the process we felt like our voice was heard. Yair gave us his honest opinion on Ipe vs bamboo and we decided that bamboo was the right decision for us. His expertise was especially evident regarding the layout of the bench and the stairs. The crew was very professional and progress was very quick. When we had questions for the foreman, he was very accommodating and made sure we were happy with the progress and final product. The attention to detail (especially around our spa) really showed that this crew is filled with craftsmen. Overall, we could not be happier with the end result! The deck has completely transformed our outdoor space and we love spending evenings hanging out on our bench! read more

Yair (a.k.a. Dr. Deck) rebuilt my deck from the ground up and did a great job. Solid work, everything feels sturdy, and it looks fantastic. He was flexible and even worked with some material I already had on hand, which I really appreciated. I had to push the project back a few times and he was very understanding about it. I was out of town during part of the project, and he delivered progress photos along the way just like he promised. He also pointed me to a good company for the refinishing, which turned out great. They got the job done quickly, and there were no issues with the neighbors. Really happy with how it all came out. read more

Dr Deck made a deck nicer than our house! We are thrilled! Dr. Deck came out and made a beautiful deck for us in less than a week. Yair walked us through the process and we now have a gorgeous deck made all in tongue and groove style that wraps around a 100 year old Chinese elm tree in our patio. It is gorgeous and tons of wild life love to hang out on it. The deck was done in bamboo and stained to match the house. It is so nice we now have to fix the house to have it match the deck. Thanks, Yair and everyone at Dr. Deck! read more

Dr Deck - nice - Decks & Railing Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We had worked with Dr. Deck a few years prior to demolish an existing deck on another part of our yard and build a new one and we had such an incredible experience then, so we were excited to have another project with him. As expected, I have nothing but the best things to say about our second experience. Not only does the whole team do beautiful, creative work that encompasses the surrounding environment (see photos) but they are so communicative, professional and easy to work with. Everyday they'd let us know what was going on, and the project moved forward in the exact timeframe outlined at the outset. They made the process so relaxing for us, as we always knew what to expect and when. Clearly their work speaks for itself and is the reason to hire them, but the fact that Yair and the team are so efficient and reliable makes it the best experience we've ever had with a contractor of any kind. In short, can't recommend them enough! read more

When choosing who we were going to hire to build a wooden deck in our backyard, we chose Yair as he seemed like the most thorough and detail oriented of the batch that came out for estimates. In particular, he was the only person to point out the uneven nature of the concrete pad where we planned to place a hot tub and recommended getting it leveled before building the deck. Overall, we are happy with his work. Our bamboo deck looks great and it's holding up well a year later. His crew was reliable, respectful and diligent and the was job done in a timely fashion. Our only complaint is that after his crew framed the deck, he pointed out that the leveled concrete pad and hot tub were not placed perpendicular to our house's back wall. As a result, our hot tub is not in alignment with the deck or house. Overall, we would recommend him for deck work but we leaned a valuable lesson. Make sure you double check dimensions and measurements during all stages of building a deck, especially if you're building it around a hot tub. read more

So glad we went with Dr Deck to replace our aging wood deck with a new TimberTech deck. Lot's of contractors say they can build decks, but why not go with someone who specializes in decks. From the first site visit to the day of completion, Yair was always available and very professional. I really appreciated that his crew cleaned up and organized our backyard every single night before they left. We had a couple of very heavy and fragile planter pots that the crew moved out and replaced without incident which was not an easy task. Totally satisfied with our choice of using this company. read more

Yair is great! We used him for a couple different projects including a stunning gate revamp and everything came out beautifully. I appreciate that he actually listens to what you want while still also carefully voicing his opinions so the project comes out better. We had a minor issue where one board of a step was a little loose several months after completion and he sent someone to fix right away read more

We couldn't be more pleased with the deck repairs done by Dr Deck. We had a pretty unusual job because our deck is the roof of our guest house.

The quality of work is outstanding. The crew run by Edwin are very nice hard working guys and worked efficiently everyday for the whole month. I truly appreciate their expertise and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of deck repairs. read more

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Yair and the Dr. Deck team on a poolside project this spring! The work entailed demo-ing some concrete to level things before surrounding our newly renovated pool with Deckorators mineral-based composite wood.

Despite a tight project timeline, Yair and his team adjusted things on their end to accommodate us. Two thumbs up - we cannot recommend them highly enough! read more

Yair and his team far exceeded our expectations while building a deck at our house. From the beginning he was responsive, straight forward, friendly and thorough. Out of the 3 contractors we got bids from we chose him because his quote was easy to understand and felt confident he was an expert in building decks. Our deck design had a number of tricky things to figure out due to our lot shape (slope, angles, on a curve) and he was great at coming up with solutions for each challenge. Yair and his crew really delivered a beautiful result and we are so glad we went with them. Thank you!!!! read more

I contacted Yair on November 18th about rebuilding a small deck on my property and doing some fence and gate repair. I sent pictures and a description of what I wanted. He finally made it out to measure the deck on December 1st and said he would get back to me with a bid. After that, nothing. On December 20 I texted to ask if he intended to bid the job. Silence, and no communication since. I have renovated three houses and built a fourth, and no one has ever treated me this way. He didn't even have the decency to say he wasn't interested. read more

The reviews for Dr-Deck was spot on; FIVE STAR reviews across the board! From our very first meeting, Yair created a vision for our outdoor space that has exceeded our expectations. Yair was friendly, professional, and explained every detail of the project. On a daily basis, Matan and his exceptional crew showcased their talents from demolition day to the beautiful final masterpiece! The talented team built us a brand new deck with a roof and skylights, which also included an island and a gated storage to hide the pool equipment. As the deck framed the pool, we also gained more outdoor space. For the years to come, we look forward to creating many memories in our exceptional, resort feel, and beautiful backyard!

When we had this house built, we ordered a European Roll-Shutter, to cover the large window wall and French Doors to the Deck, off the master bedroom, and to provide bedroom privacy. The redwood railing was so massive it might as well have been a solid wall. The Roll-Shutter was rarely raised. That railing was quite UGLY! The view non-existent. My original eMail to Yair was thus: "House was built in early 1986, the existing Decks from redwood planks and cedar railings. The wood is termite-infested, and now quite dangerous." Want the decks replaced with some sort of composite material, which prevents termites and requires little care, with minimalist cable railings, to exploit the views from the Dining Room. I prefer a golden oak / maple color, to match the wood inside the house. Unlike many people, this project doesn't have a start date / completion date associated, because I want this done RIGHT, rather than immediately." End-quote. So within just a day or so, Yair called and we scheduled the first meeting. I told him I had studied Architecture for a year, but dropped out, learning just enough to get our Dream Home designed/built by the local Architect & Contractor. And I knew exactly what I wanted: decks to match the wood inside the house, with see-thru Cable Railings. Yair just smiled. He handed me a two-foot sample of the decking he uses. Unsuspecting, the sample almost dropped out of my hands because it was SO dense and heavy! He explained he prefers to use Ipe or Bamboo for decking because they are sustainable and much more durable. But, they also eventually turn a gray-color with exposure from the sun. He kindly and simply explained this in such a manner I realized my foolishness wanting a maple-colored wood. I finally realized: Which is more important - the Decking color matching the woodwork inside the house, or that Bamboo requires little protection from the elements, it won't rot in the sun, doesn't have to be oiled twice a year, and the termites won't eat it. Hello-ooo! Nobody is looking at the decking anyway - they are being swept away by the Views below and beyond ! Yair's crew (Milton and Mahari, among others) without wasting any energy, knew what they were doing, and demo-ed the termite-infested decks, and they started installing the THREE replacement Decks. I took progress photos several times a day. It was interesting to watch how the Decks were Perfectly fit together. They use special plastic spacers in the horizontal grooves in the Bamboo to keep all the planks exactly parallel. With small screws bolting the spacers to the support joists, and locking the bamboo planks together, there is no visible hardware on the top of the deck planks - just smooth fine-grain bamboo. The tops of all the support members underneath were ALL capped with grown-up plastic tape material to prevent water from seeping into the cut edges over time. The bolts & screws are all pretty much invisible. No nail or screw heads visible. Only along the perimeter edges, if you search hard, can you find the tiny (maybe 1/8" tiny!) 21st-Century bolt heads. The plastic spacers do all the work. Another fascinating construction material was giant metal screws - like four-foot long woodscrews. Yair's crew installed these screws into the caliche instead of using concrete to pour foundations. How ingenious! Even though I had failed to do my homework on the wood aspect, I HAD researched the railing part quite extensively (for a lay person). Because of the views below, I wanted minimal stainless Cable Railings, with side-mount Posts. With Deck-mount Posts, several sq feet of area are lost, and it looks HomeDepot These black railings were powder-coated a steel-color, to match the stainless Cables. Turned out the steel-color actually resulted in a cooler metal under the California Sun. Thus, with stainless cables and steel-colored Posts & Railings, the railings have mostly disappeared, in favor of the views below and the San Gabriel Foothills beyond Each day, Yair came by, all the way to the boondocks of Glendora, to observe the work. It all went exceptionally smoothly. Every day, it was a pleasure to see how much was accomplished - how the Decks were coming together as I had envisioned. To be perfectly honest, I chose to bypass getting other quotes for this project. The Reviews on yelp convinced me Yair and his crew would get the Decks built exactly perfect. Casually conversing Yair, APART from Decking, he is a very interesting person. Yair knows Decks better than anyone else in the USA - but you can make that observation yourself. Now they are all finished, I dragged a Zero-Gravity chaise longue up to the Deck off the Bedroom. For hours, the dog and I enjoy the coming Evening together, watching the neighborhood below. In the end, these three new Decks are exactly what I wanted. read more

I'll be recommending Yair and his team to any of my contacts who have decking needs. There's a number of reasons for this. The most important aspect - the finished product itself - was as expected based on the quality work shown in Dr Deck's Yelp photos. The photos show good work, and it is indeed good work. We went with 4' IPE wood + clips for a 12x19' detached elevated deck. We also added a stainless steel cable railing, and a built-in IPE bench. I made the joke that in the event of an earthquake I'd run out of my house and onto the deck. I was only half-joking, as this thing is just that sturdy. The team started on time every day, were courteous, they didn't mind me poking around out of curiosity, and they problem solved some medium-sized surprises without losing velocity. Pricing was also reasonable, which was around the bottom 30% percentile of the 5 bids I received for the job. What stood out to me during the bidding process was: Yair's attention to detail; accommodation for budget-friendly approaches; and his dismissal of site-access concerns that other contractors wanted to make into an ordeal. Two thumbs up from me. read more

We just had our hillside deck repaired, both top and structural components. We had numerous contractors come out to evaluate project, however, it was clear that Yair' understanding about deck design and construction was a step above the others. Throughout the process (both planning and during the build), Yair was always available to answer questions and address any concerns. During the build he provided frequent updates about the progress, any findings along the way, etc. He has a great team working for him and work was completed faster than estimated.
