Bring your living space outdoors

The East Bay climate is made for outdoor living. A well-built deck or patio turns a backyard or hillside lot into the best room in the house. J&B Homes designs and builds custom decks, patios, pergolas, and outdoor living spaces across the East Bay, engineered for our hillsides, sun, and the occasional heavy rain.

We build with the right materials for the job, composite and hardwood decking, proper footings and framing, code-compliant railings, and drainage that protects your home. On sloped Oakland and Berkeley lots, proper structural work is everything, and we build decks that stay solid for decades.

Why homeowners trust J&B outdoors

  • Engineered for hillsides. Built for sloped East Bay lots.
  • Composite or hardwood. The right material for your budget and look.
  • Permitted & safe. Code-compliant railings and structure.
  • Honest, fixed-scope pricing. No surprises.

From a simple ground-level deck to a multi-level outdoor retreat with a pergola and built-in seating, we build outdoor spaces you will actually use.

Decks & Outdoor Living FAQs

The questions East Bay homeowners ask us most. Do not see yours? Just ask, we are happy to help.

How much does a new deck cost?

Deck cost depends on size, height, material (composite vs. hardwood), and how much structural work your lot requires. We provide an itemized, fixed-scope estimate after seeing the site.

Composite or wood, which is better?

Both have their place. Composite is low-maintenance and long-lasting; natural hardwood offers a classic look. We walk you through the trade-offs and cost so you can choose what fits.

Do I need a permit for a deck?

Decks above a certain height, or attached to the house, generally require permits in the East Bay. We handle permitting and build to code, which matters most on elevated and hillside decks.

Can you build a deck on a steep hillside lot?

Yes, it is common here. We engineer proper footings and framing for sloped lots so your deck is solid and safe for the long haul.

How long do composite decks last?

Quality composite decking commonly lasts decades with minimal maintenance, and proper framing beneath it lasts even longer. We build the structure to outlive the surface.

How much maintenance does a deck need?

Composite needs little more than occasional cleaning; natural wood needs periodic sealing. We will recommend the option that matches how much upkeep you want.
