Deck Builders in Humboldt County

A deck on the North Coast has to stand up to real weather. Ray Wolfe Construction builds decks across Humboldt County — redwood, cedar and composite — engineered for our coastal climate and built by our own carpenters.

What we do

  • New decks, wraparounds, porches and stairs
  • Redwood, cedar and low-maintenance composite
  • Deck replacement and structural repair
  • Railings, benches and built-ins to finish it off

Common questions

What decking material lasts best on the North Coast?

Composite has the edge for low maintenance in our wet climate; redwood and cedar are beautiful and local. We’ll walk you through the tradeoffs for your site and budget.

Do decks need permits in Humboldt County?

Most decks above a certain height require permits. We handle the permit process as part of the job.

Can you repair an existing deck instead of replacing it?

Often, yes — if the structure is sound we can replace decking and railings for far less than a rebuild. We’ll tell you straight which makes sense.
