Decking in San Jose, designed for everyday living.

A well-planned deck extends the usable space of your home. Slate & Span works with homeowners on decks, outdoor platforms, stairs, and the details that connect indoor living with the yard.

A comfortable place to gather.

Start with how you want to use the deck: a dining table close to the kitchen, a seating area in the garden, or a clear route between doors and different yard levels. We discuss the footprint, step locations, edges, and railings before choosing the final surface. Wood and composite options offer different appearances and maintenance needs, which we can compare as part of your project.

Think beyond the surface boards.

The supporting structure, ground conditions, drainage, access, and connection to the house help determine the scope. For a replacement deck, the condition of the existing framing needs to be assessed before deciding what can remain. We discuss these details with you rather than assuming a new surface alone will solve the problem.

What should I prepare before requesting a deck estimate?

Photos of the existing space, approximate dimensions, door locations, and a description of how you want to use the deck are a good start. Let us know whether the project includes removal, stairs, railings, a pergola, or changes to nearby paving. Final materials, structural details, project requirements, and timing are established through the design and proposal process.
