Custom Decks Built for Vallejo Homes Since 2013
We build custom decks for Vallejo homeowners. Let us build a custom deck for your home that elevates your outdoor Living.
Expert Custom Deck Construction Designed for Your Lifestyle
If you’re searching for a deck builder in Vallejo, CA, you want someone who knows your neighborhood, your soil, your weather, and your permitting office — not a contractor pulling Vallejo into a service-area list.
G & G Deck and Fence has been building custom decks for Vallejo homeowners for over two decades, from hillside multi-level decks in Glen Cove to redwood entertainment decks in Hiddenbrooke and Bayview decks on Mare Island. We’re licensed (CA LIC # 999901), family-owned, and we’ve completed over 3,000 outdoor living projects across the Bay Area.
Why Vallejo Homeowners Choose G & G Deck and Fence
Vallejo presents specific challenges that generic deck builders miss. Coastal fog brings sustained moisture. Hillside lots require structural engineering most contractors quietly subcontract out. Salt air off the Carquinez Strait accelerates wear on softer woods. And Vallejo’s permitting process — handled through the Building Division at City Hall on Santa Clara Street — has its own timeline and inspection rhythm that an out-of-area contractor will get wrong on their first project.
We’ve been working in Vallejo long enough to know which neighborhoods have soil that needs deeper footings, which HOAs require submitted plans before construction, and which materials hold up to 20 years of Vallejo weather without warping or fading.
What that means for you:

Decking Materials We Build With
Material choice in Vallejo isn’t just aesthetic — fog, salt air, and sun exposure all factor in. Here’s how we help homeowners decide.
Redwood Decking
Redwood is the Bay Area classic. Naturally resistant to rot and insects, beautiful warm tone that ages to a silver patina if left untreated, and sourced regionally. Best for homeowners who want a traditional look and don’t mind annual sealing or staining to maintain color.
Typical lifespan in Vallejo: 20-25 years with proper maintenance. Best for: Glen Cove, Hiddenbrooke, Vallejo Heights — inland or partially sheltered properties.
Composite Decking
Composite has come a long way. Modern boards resist fading, staining, and moisture without the annual maintenance redwood demands. We’re a TimberTech-certified contractor, which means access to their Pro warranty and Gold Class installation standards. Composite is the right call for fog-prone areas and for homeowners who don’t want a maintenance schedule.
Typical lifespan in Vallejo: 25-30 years with minimal maintenance. Best for: Mare Island, North Vallejo, anywhere with sustained marine layer exposure.
Hardwood Decking
Tropical hardwoods are the premium option — extreme density makes them naturally rot-resistant, fire-resistant, and capable of handling salt air and direct sun without warping. Higher upfront cost, but minimal long-term maintenance.
Typical lifespan in Vallejo: 30+ years. Best for: Coastal-facing homes, Mare Island, properties with direct salt exposure.
We’ll walk through all three with you during your free consultation and help you pick based on your home, your budget, and how you’ll actually use the deck.
Vallejo Deck Permits — What You Need to Know
Most deck projects in Vallejo require a building permit. Here’s what triggers one:
- Decks more than 30 inches above grade at any point
- Any deck attached to the house
- Any deck over 200 square feet, regardless of height
- Decks with attached features (pergolas, roofs, electrical for lighting)
Vallejo’s Building Division reviews submitted plans for structural specs (footing depth, beam sizing, ledger attachment), setback compliance, and railing code. Inspections happen at footing, framing, and final stages.
We handle the entire permit process — plan submittal, fee payment, scheduling inspections, and being on-site for each one. You don’t deal with City Hall.
For HOA neighborhoods like Hiddenbrooke and parts of Glen Cove, we also handle architectural review board submittals when required.

How Much Does a Custom Deck Cost in Vallejo?
Honest answer: most Vallejo deck projects we build fall between $15,000 and $60,000. The range is wide because the variables are wide. Here’s what drives cost:
- Square footage — Most Vallejo decks we build are 200-500 sq ft.
- Material — Redwood is the most affordable, composite is mid-range, hardwood is premium. Difference between redwood and Ipe on a 400 sq ft deck is typically $8,000-$12,000 in materials alone.
- Elevation — Ground-level decks need fewer footings and no railings. Elevated decks (more than 30″) need full railing systems, more substantial framing, and engineered footings. Multi-level designs add complexity.
- Site conditions — Hillside lots require deeper footings and sometimes engineered drawings. Tight access lots add labor.
- Features — Built-in benches, planters, pergola integration, lighting, hot tub support, and stairs all add cost.
