Learn MoreReach out by phone or the contact form and tell us what you have in mind - size, how you want to use the space, and any timeline you are working toward. We respond within 1 business day. No pressure, no obligation. We will schedule a free on-site visit so we can see your yard before we quote anything.
We come to your property, walk the space with you, and take measurements. Your yard's slope, soil, sun exposure, and HOA rules all affect the design and the price - we account for all of it. Within a few days you receive a detailed written proposal with a layout, materials, full cost breakdown, and a realistic timeline from permit through completion.
Once you approve the design, we submit permits to the City of Morgan Hill and handle any HOA submissions in parallel. After approvals are in hand, our crew builds your project from footings to final railing. A city inspector signs off on the structural framing before it is covered, and again at completion. You get a clean permit on file and a finished structure built to today's standards.
We hold an active California contractor's license issued by the CSLB and carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage on every project - so you are never at risk if something goes wrong on site.
We are a locally owned business that has been working in Morgan Hill and the surrounding South Bay since 2019. We know the permit timelines, the clay soils, the HOA rules in newer subdivisions, and which designs hold up to the local climate.
Every estimate includes a visit to your property, a detailed written proposal, and a full cost breakdown - with no pressure to sign on the spot. We respond within 1 business day of your initial request, and the estimate itself is completely free.
We submit all permit applications to the City of Morgan Hill, schedule inspections, and coordinate HOA submissions where needed - all included in your project. You never have to navigate city paperwork on your own, and every completed project comes with a closed permit on file.

"We had a steeply sloped backyard that we had basically written off. The crew built us an elevated two-level composite deck that turned the whole space around. They handled the permit and kept us updated every step of the way - it was done in two weeks once they started."
Karen M., Morgan Hill - Custom Deck Design and Build
"We needed a wood privacy fence along our back property line before our kids started school. They came out for the estimate within a day, the quote was fair and detailed, and the fence was up exactly when they said it would be. Solid work, no surprises."
David R., Gilroy - Wood and Privacy Fence Installation
"The old boards on our deck were soft in three spots and the railing wobbled. They assessed the structure, replaced the damaged framing, and installed new composite boards and a metal railing. It feels completely solid now, and the city signed off on the permit without any issues."

We respond within 1 business day - no automated replies. Your estimate is completely free and comes with no obligation to move forward. Once you submit the form, someone from our office will call you directly to learn more about your project and schedule a free on-site visit.

Yes - almost always. Any deck attached to your house or elevated more than 30 inches off the ground requires a building permit in California. The permit process ensures a city inspector checks the structural framing before it is covered, which protects you from problems you would never see otherwise.
Both can work, but they have different trade-offs. Composite boards need no annual maintenance and hold their color better in intense UV, but premium boards matter - cheaper uncapped composite can get very hot underfoot in summer. Quality pressure-treated wood costs less upfront but needs sealing every two to three years to stay protected.
Outdoor living space is a consistent priority for South Bay buyers. A well-built, permitted deck is a selling point that buyers notice immediately. An unpermitted deck, by contrast, can slow or derail a sale - buyers' agents look for this, and lenders sometimes require it to be resolved before closing.
Soft or springy boards underfoot, wobbling railings, or visible rot near the ledger board are not cosmetic problems - they are structural ones. A deck that bounces when you walk across it usually means the framing underneath is compromised, which is a safety issue that gets worse the longer it is ignored.
Much of the Santa Clara Valley sits on expansive clay soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry. That seasonal movement can shift deck footings over time if they are not designed for local conditions. The California Geological Survey documents these conditions across the region. A contractor who knows local soils will specify the right footing depth for your specific lot.
In many Morgan Hill neighborhoods - particularly newer master-planned communities - your HOA has a design review process that runs separately from the city permit. Some HOAs require their approval before you even submit to the city. A contractor who works regularly in Morgan Hill will handle both processes in parallel and know what each one requires.
Morgan Hill Deck & Fence is a licensed and insured deck builder company based in Morgan Hill, CA, serving homeowners across 12 South Bay cities since 2019.
We hold an active California contractor's license issued by the Contractors State License Board, carry general liability insurance, and maintain workers' compensation coverage on every project.
Since 2019, we have completed projects across all 16 of our service categories - from single-level wood decks to multi-level composite builds on hillside lots - for homeowners throughout the South Bay.
Learn more about our team and approachSurface boards that are cracked or faded can often be replaced without touching the frame. But if the frame itself - the posts, beams, or ledger board - shows rot or significant movement, repair costs can approach or exceed the cost of a full rebuild. An honest contractor will tell you which situation you are in. The North American Deck and Railing Association offers homeowner resources on deck safety and maintenance.
The biggest cost variables are size, elevation, material choice, and site conditions. A ground-level wood deck on a flat lot is the lowest-cost entry point. A multi-level composite deck on a sloped lot with stairs, built-in seating, and cable railings is at the high end. Every item you add has a real cost - get a line-item proposal so you know what you are paying for.
Start by verifying the license number on the California Contractors State License Board website - it is free and takes under a minute. Then confirm they carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation. Ask whether they pull permits themselves. A contractor who handles permits is a contractor who plans to build something that will pass inspection.

Morgan Hill sits at the southern end of Silicon Valley, about 25 miles south of San Jose, in a valley flanked by the Diablo Range to the east and the Santa Cruz Mountains to the west. The city has grown steadily over the past few decades, and most homes here are owner-occupied single-family properties - the kind where outdoor living space makes a real difference in daily quality of life. You can learn more about the community through the City of Morgan Hill and local coverage from the Morgan Hill Times.
Many Morgan Hill neighborhoods are close to natural areas and community landmarks that residents use year-round. Families near the western hills have easy access to Uvas Reservoir County Park, a popular spot for fishing and hiking. Downtown along Monterey Road and Main Avenue is the city's commercial and social center, recognized by long-time residents and newer arrivals alike. Properties near East Main Avenue and the surrounding hills often sit on larger lots, sometimes adjacent to working vineyards - the area is part of the broader Santa Clara Valley wine region, as highlighted by Visit Morgan Hill.
We have been working on Morgan Hill homes since 2019, and we know how the local conditions - hot, dry summers, expansive clay soils, sloped lots near the foothills, and HOA requirements in newer subdivisions - affect what it takes to build a deck or fence that holds up here. Whether your home is in an older neighborhood near downtown or a newer development off Cochrane Road, we serve the whole city and respond to estimate requests within 1 business day.
