Do I need a permit to repair my deck in San Diego?
Replacing like-for-like boards and rails on an existing permitted deck is typically maintenance, no permit required. Adding a new deck, significantly expanding an existing one, or modifying the structure (posts, beams, ledger) may require a permit from the City of San Diego or the county. We'll flag scope questions before we start.
Can you match the existing wood species and stain?
For the wood, yes, we stock redwood and cedar for patching, and pressure-treated for anything in ground contact. For the stain, we can take a sample to a paint store and get a close match, though weathered wood rarely matches new wood perfectly until the new boards age a season.
