We have used YourDeckBuilder for several projects at both of our homes. We mainly worked with John on the planning and Angel to run the projects. They did an outstanding job and I feel the are the best wood deck builders in Los Angeles. When we moved to Hancock Park, they redid a large wall for us and rebuild a bridge across our backyard creek. They do amazing work. They also added a fence for a private garden. They are fast and trustworthy. I would highly recommend the entire team.

Building the stairs

I had a twenty-five year old second story deck, which had severe dry rot and was structurally compromised. Unfortunately replacing the floor boards was not an option. When I met with John, my project manager, he gently laid out what was needed -- a complete replacement. He was exactly right. John was more than willing to hear my ideas about building a deck with the same footprint, however he also put forth a brilliant design idea: an expansion to increase the square footage by half again. The project bids came in fair for the quality of work proposed, and I had a range of prices comparing redwood to Brazilian ipe. I went for the deck expansion in ipe and was so happy I did. The YDB team led by Angel, who is a master deck builder with 30+ years of experience, did an amazing job from start to finish. Angel consistently overbuilt the elevated deck, from 2 large laminated support beams to waterproofing to thousands of pounds of cement footings dug down to bedrock. Although I had to wait months to start the project to accommodate their busy schedule, it was more than worth the wait. The deck is an amazing compliment to the house and will be enjoyed for years to come.

Another view of my yard. It's a wraparound deck. Loving it!

Wow, wow, wow!!! I'm simply blown away by the crew and quality of work and product from Your Deck Builder. It started with a prompt response from John Simons, where he quickly met with me to understand my needs and provided me with various ideas and a proposal. After reviewing three proposals, I picked YDB partly because of John's friendly no-pressure professionalism, his great advice on the materials, the company's ability to start work quickly, and their reasonable price. When work started, I was even more impressed. Angel, as the job supervisor, ran a hardworking crew who worked efficiently and happily together. They were excellent listeners and held on to the motto of "let's do what it takes to make our clients happy." I felt it with every interaction. At the end, they built a beautiful deck that greatly enhanced my backyard and they did everything in record time! What more can I say? Well, I wish all contractors were like YDB. John, Angell, you have in me a lifelong fan and I'll send referrals your way and also happily be a reference anytime!!

Finding good contractors in LA is far harder than it should be. A notable percentage fail to show up for appointments or follow-up afterwards. Of those that do show up and follow through a huge percentage of them are simply unreasonable in their offers. (I once had someone quote $17k to redo a small bathroom!) John and the crew at YourDeckBuilder.com were not like this at all. 1) They showed up when they said they would and followed up when they said they would. 2) They didn't try to sell me a Brentwood-level ipe deck for my little house in the hood. 3) They listened to my needs and came up with a solution that made the most sense. Our project was not that big. We needed a new back stair for our awkward back door. The team at YourDeckBuilder.com came up with a solution that works really well and we couldn't be happier. The next time we need deck work done I will only make one call.

Everything about our experience with YourDeckBuilder was smooth and first rate - they make quality and customer service a top priority! We were looking to build a small hillside deck to supplement our existing backyard. We talked to several different companies over the last few years and YourDeckBuilder clearly stood out. John Simons was our direct contact and immediately put us at ease with his experience and understanding of what we were wanting to accomplish, and his bid was very fair given the complexity of our project. The crew, headed by Angel, was nothing short of stupendous. They were professional, punctual, clean, and most of all master craftsmen. Since the deck was on the hillside, the crew did the required extra work to level the area and provide a solid foundation and any needed retaining support. They also improvised to make the deck fit organically within the slope and the trees. They were very sensitive to the surrounding trees which was our highest priority. The deck was built using Ipe hardwood, which requires a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail, and it certainly shows. We are extremely happy with the result and would whole-heartedly recommend YourDeckBuilder!

We could not be happier with John and his worker Marco who came to our home and refinished our Pergolas. The wood on our pergolas had gotten very damaged over the years and turned an unpleasant dark grey color. Marco spent so much time at our home power washing; sanding and hand painting/waterproofing our pergolas. Marco was so detail orientated, I could not be happier with the finished product!! I would not hesitate to use YourDeck Builder again for our future projects and highly highly recommend using them! Their prices were also extremely fair.

Look no further, these guys are the benchmark for great deck builders. Building a deck is not cheap, in all honesty the sticker shock will have you thinking about your newborn's college tuition. So picking a company where you feel you're getting your moneys worth is crucial. I really liked John who was my project manager, the man who quoted me, he's a lovely guy who definitely made me feel like I was in good hands. After a good amount of time mulling it over with various quotes from various companies, I decided on YDB. Their quote was reasonable, coming in at nearly half of the price I got from one company. Their approach was simple, build beautiful all redwood decks to your liking. The other companies tried to sell me on newer materials which go longer without maintenance but i personally didn't want it to look and feel like plastic. The other sales reps were nice enough, had lots of sales materials to show, could prove nice work, but often included badmouthing other contractors and builders, claiming they're the only ones who truly know what they're doing, and that the bad reviews online were competitors trying to steal their business, not actual customers. John was chill and had no problems with any of my ideas, they were clearly ready to build the biggest baddest deck they could using high quality redwood, using every inch of usable real estate I had. The speed at which they worked was insane. Day 2 was the most memorable - they brought an army and they dug the pylon holes, mixed and set the concrete, installed and weather protected the main posts, and built almost the entire subframe... in one day! Mind you this is a 400sqft deck we're talking about. Angel was the best, the foreman who made my vision for this deck into a reality. He's the brains and his approach, which I appreciated, was to overbuild everything. No doubt, this thing is rock solid. He rolled with the punches and I felt we were definitely on the same page as far as design went. My only suggestion to those looking to build decks. It is vital that you check the progress regularly and make sure everything you are seeing is up to your standards. This goes for any company you hire, they arent mind readers. Because my project required some demolition to my existing house, we didn't know what we would find once we started tearing away. I came home and wasn't satisfied with the amount of waterproofing that had been done to an exterior wall we had exposed to make room for the new deck. So we chatted, and for a little bit more money they were happy to take it to level 10. Full stucco finish and concrete sealed the base of the wall to the foundation to fully protect the guts of wall from the elements. Anxiety eliminated. I really appreciated their "if you're happy, we're happy" attitude. Shout out to Mauricio, who was here every day, sometimes by himself. He was happy to ping pong ideas for details back and forth with me and Angel. The team and made me feel very at ease leaving for work everyday, feeling confident they were doing the things I asked for. The project took only 2.5 weeks, exceeding my expectations. And the build quality is outstanding. Friends are blown away, neighbors walking by are telling me how I've stepped up the neighborhood and increased everyones property values, and my dad - a very critical guy with lots of remodels under his belt - was thoroughly impressed as well! "I can't believe you found these guys on yelp!" he said. Well, I did, and paying it forward here with this review. This deck is a statement. My little house now looks like a million damn dollars. Literally. If you want a quality real redwood modern deck. These guys are it. The name says it all.

YourDeckBuilder went above and beyond on our deck replacement. We received multiple bids, but liked John the most out of everyone who came out and his prices were very competitive. The entire team at YourDeckBuilder was very professional and very helpful along the way. They were patient with our requests (many of which related to the skirting options for this heavily elevated deck), and worked with us to customize a solution that we thought worked best, all while maintaining their original quote (despite lumber prices being up 2x from time of signing the contract to completing the job). Angel was our foreman and Lewis was our install team lead. Can't thank these guys enough for a job well done. Highly recommended!

John and the team are absolute professionals. Excellent design input and communication. Finished our deck in a timely manner and it came out beautifully. I received many many quotes and they were the best bang for the buck. Loved working with them so much.

Worked with Your Deck Builder on the demo / rebuild of our 700 square foot / 25 year old redwood deck. Project started 06/18/20 - completed 07/14/20. Interviewed three contractors for the project. Matt was the most knowledgeable, detail oriented contractor - immediately grasped the scope of our project and had several excellent ideas that were implemented as part of the job. He explained all options in great detail and his price was competitive, based on the services and materials offered. Matt's crew (Angel - construction foreman / John costs) were top notch professionals - always on time, working hard, answering questions, and complying with requests. Our project was not easy and required several methods of reinforcement / waterproofing to prevent future damage. All work performed beyond expectations - the craftsmanship is simply exquisite. We chose Ipe decking materials with Balau posts. Angel was able to incorporate a couple pieces of our old deck that were still in good condition to save costs. The project was completed on time, within budget, and is beautiful. We were extremely pleased with Your Deck Builder and give them our highest recommendation!

Vered was very communicative from the estimate to the final check in after the work was finished…read more His quote was fair & similar to a few others, but included more reinforcement assurances. His guys have been w/him a long time and it shows--they were extremely fast, thorough, and professional. I like our new fence a lot more than I thoughtI would (wasn't ready to let go of the old one!)-it looks fantastic!

Tal and his team are world class. They have helped us out with two large projects so far and both…read moretime, the results have been outstanding. The first project was a new fence and motorized gate about 5 years ago (it looks just as amazing now as it did the day they completed it)- from start to finish, the TH team was very knowledeable, gave us many options, were always prompt in both showing up when they said they would, and returning inquiries and other phone calls. Their workspace was always clean and thoughtful for our pets and family to traverse to and from the house while they worked on the project. And most importantly, the finished gate and fences were clean, high quality and polished... and better than we imagined! Our second project we just finished this past month was our deck (and roofing as our garage sits underneath our deck). They replaced our leaky wooden deck with new beams, proofing/coating, tiles this time (the whole nine) and it is perfect- complete with polished iron, a side gate to match our existing gates/aesthetic and touch ups where needed. Tal was very transpararent from the beginning and made us aware of the pros and cons for every material and promptly finished the whole project within two weeks. He went above and beyond-communicated every step of the way. We trust them with any home project and would hire him and his team again in a heartbeat.
