A Trusted Deck Builder Serving Homeowners in Piedmont, CA 

In Piedmont and throughout the East Bay Hills area, we’re fortunate to enjoy beautiful weather throughout the year. However, without a proper outdoor space, you might find that you don’t get to enjoy it as much as you’d like. That’s where Schafer Construction comes in. As an award-winning deck designer and builder, we create beautiful, functional decks tailored to our customers’ lifestyles. So, when you’re looking for a space that allows you to enjoy the beautiful climate—whether on your own or with loved ones—we’re the best team to call. 

The Art of Deck Design  

Piedmont’s unique blend of historic homes and contemporary architecture demands a local deck builder who understands the nuances of design. At Schafer Construction, our deck design process is an art form. We begin by immersing ourselves in your home’s character, the lay of your land, and your personal style. 

Whether you envision a wraparound deck that echoes your home’s grace or a minimalist retreat for your modern home, our designers craft spaces that feel like a natural extension of your residence. Our process starts with a visit to your property to get a thorough look at the space we have to work with, and it’s this early step that sets us on the right path to creating the perfect deck for your home. 

Uncompromising Deck Construction 

We select materials not just for their aesthetic appeal, but for their ability to withstand Piedmont’s varying climate. From the resilience of AZEK and TimberTech composite decking to the timeless allure of natural redwood and the richness of exotic hardwoods, every board is chosen with longevity in mind. Our construction process, honed by more than 35 years of experience and recognized with numerous awards, ensures that your deck is as sturdy as it is stunning. Our track record with these projects is second to none, we can’t wait to share our award-winning pedigree when we get to work at your home. 

Our Deck Construction Process 

Our comprehensive deck design and construction process unfolds as follows: 

  • On-site assessment – Getting an in-person look at your outdoor space will allow us to get a better understanding of your property and what this project might entail. 
  • Personalized design planning – We’ll work closely with you to create a plan that properly reflects your wants and needs for the space. 
  • Handling all necessary permits and approvals – We take care of the permits and approvals you need for this type of project, which takes a huge burden off your shoulders. 
  • Preparation of your site – We set ourselves up for a smooth deck construction process by doing extensive prep work at your property. 
  • Expert installation – Our skilled craftsmen have a phenomenal track record with these types of projects, and you can simply look at our project portfolio as proof.  
  • Final inspection – Once we’ve finished construction, we complete a thorough inspection to make sure everything meets our standards for quality and safety. 

Our Commitment to Deck Maintenance 

A deck is an investment in your home’s value and your family’s happiness. To protect this investment, we offer our signature “Decks for Life” maintenance program. This isn’t just a service; it’s a promise. Our team performs regular deck inspections, identifying and addressing potential issues before they become costly problems. Through diligent deck maintenance, we extend the life of your deck, ensuring it remains a safe, beautiful, and functional part of your Piedmont home for years to come. 

During our thorough deck inspections, we’ll check for: 

  • How your deck is weathering and whether there are any potential problems as a result 
  • Debris collecting between your decking boards and problems associated with that 
  • The condition of your deck related to the local climate 
  • Whether your deck is in the beginning—or even latter—stages of decaying 
  • How well the hardware (bolts, guardrails, fasteners, steel brackets) is holding up
