Wood Deck Installation
Classic natural wood decks that bring warmth and beauty to your outdoor living space.
Nothing beats the natural beauty and warmth of real wood. At Boardwalk Vacaville Deck Builder, we build stunning wood decks using quality lumber that's made to last. Wood decking offers that authentic look and feel that many homeowners prefer. Plus, when properly maintained, a wood deck can serve your family for 20 years or more.
Choosing the Right Wood
Different wood species offer different benefits. We help you choose the best option for your budget and style. Pressure-treated lumber is affordable and widely available. It's treated to resist rot and insects, making it a practical choice for many Vacaville homeowners.
Cedar and redwood are premium options that naturally resist decay and insects. They have beautiful grain patterns and a rich color that ages gracefully. These woods cost more upfront but offer superior durability and aesthetics. Exotic hardwoods like ipe or cumaru are extremely dense and durable, lasting 30 years or more with minimal maintenance.
- •Pressure-treated pine: Budget-friendly, widely available, needs regular maintenance
- •Cedar: Natural resistance, beautiful color, pleasant aroma
- •Redwood: Rich color, durable, ages to a silvery gray
- •Tropical hardwoods: Extremely durable, dense, premium choice
We source quality lumber from trusted suppliers and inspect every board before installation. No warped or damaged wood goes into your deck.
Caring for Your Wood Deck
Wood decks need regular care to stay looking great. In Vacaville's climate, you should clean and reseal your deck every one to three years, depending on sun exposure and use. This protects the wood from moisture, UV damage, and general wear.
We offer professional staining and sealing services to keep your deck protected. Or, if you prefer low maintenance, consider composite decking instead. Many homeowners love the look of wood but choose composite for the time savings.
How We Build Wood Decks
A wood deck is only as good as its construction. We start with a solid foundation, using concrete footings that go below the frost line. We build the frame with pressure-treated lumber for strength and longevity, even if you choose a different wood for the decking surface.
We space boards properly to allow for expansion and contraction as the wood adjusts to temperature and humidity changes. We use quality fasteners that won't rust or pop up over time. Every joist is level, every board is straight, and every railing is secure.
The details matter. We finish cuts cleanly, countersink screws properly, and ensure drainage works correctly. When we're done, you have a wood deck that looks beautiful and feels solid underfoot.
