Decks & Patios in El Segundo
El Segundo decks, patios and patio covers for older homes and remodels: sound framing, quiet outdoor rooms and city permits handled.
El Segundo's older homes sit on modest lots, with back yards that often have a tired wood deck or a cracked slab. Close to the airport, a sheltered outdoor space is worth planning for. We repair or replace decks, pour or lay new patios and build covers and walls that make a back yard comfortable to use.
Replacing tired wood decks
Wood decks built on or near the ground rot where joists sit on soil or concrete, and older decks were often built without proper footings. We look underneath, test framing with a probe and check how the deck attaches to the house. Low decks can be rebuilt on concrete piers with ground-contact lumber and a composite surface, or replaced with a paver patio that needs almost no upkeep. Higher decks get engineered footings, a flashed ledger and guards that meet current height rules. Hardware is coated or stainless.
Sheltered outdoor rooms
A patio cover, a solid wall or a planted screen can make a back yard feel enclosed and quieter. Solid covers in aluminum or wood keep off sun and drizzle, while louvered covers adjust for light. Walls and fences block sound when they are solid and continuous. Outdoor heaters and lighting extend use into the evening. We plan drainage first, so water from the cover and the patio runs away from the house, then build each part to the drawings.
Decks & Patios in El Segundo: questions
If the framing is sound and properly supported, new boards and railings may be enough. Joists sitting on soil, rotted posts or a ledger without flashing mean rebuilding. Sometimes a paver patio is a better replacement for a low deck, and we price both.
Capped composite or PVC boards need little care and hold up to the coastal air. For low decks close to the ground, they also resist moisture better than wood. Redwood is a good choice for owners who like natural wood and do not mind sealing it.
We do. El Segundo's building division requires permits for attached decks, raised decks over 30 inches and most patio covers. We draw the plans, file the application and attend the inspections, then give you the final approval.
