Learn MoreReach out by phone or through our contact form. We will ask a few simple questions - your yard, what you have in mind, and your rough timeline. No commitment, no pressure. We respond within 1 business day and schedule a convenient time to visit your property.
We come to you, walk the yard, take measurements, and talk through your options in person. You get a written, itemized estimate that breaks out materials, labor, and permit fees - so there are no surprises. We handle the permit application to the City of Chico once you are ready to move forward.
Our crew shows up on schedule, keeps the site clean each day, and coordinates all required city inspections. At the end, we walk you through the finished project and answer any questions. You get the permit records and any warranty documentation before we leave.
We carry a current California Contractors State License Board license and full general liability plus workers' compensation coverage on every project. You can verify our license status at the CSLB website in about 30 seconds.
We have worked on homes across Chico since 2019 - Craftsman bungalows near downtown, ranch-style homes on the east side, and everything in between. We know local soil conditions, permit timelines, and HOA requirements.
We come to your property, measure the space, and give you a written itemized estimate at no charge. No pressure, no commitment. You will have a real number - broken out by materials, labor, and permit fees - before deciding anything.
We pull every permit ourselves and schedule all city inspections as part of the job. An unpermitted deck can hurt your home sale; a permitted one protects your investment. We handle all of it so you do not have to.

"They came out within two days of my call, measured everything, and gave me a written estimate the following day. The deck was framed and finished in under a week. The permit inspection passed on the first try, which my neighbor said rarely happens."
Mike T., Chico - Custom deck design and build
"My old wood deck was splintering badly and one of the boards near the house had gone soft. The crew replaced the whole thing with composite in four days. It stayed cool enough to walk on barefoot even during the heat wave that hit right after."
Sandra P., Oroville - Composite deck installation
"We added a pergola and a privacy fence at the same time. Both came out exactly as drawn in the estimate. They cleaned up every evening, which I was not expecting. I have already recommended them to two people in my neighborhood."
James R., Paradise - Pergola installation

Yes - almost always. The City of Chico requires a building permit for attached decks and elevated freestanding structures. A city inspector checks the footings and framing before anything is covered up. Working without a permit can create real problems at resale.
It can, if footings are not dug deep enough. Chico's clay-heavy soil swells in winter rains and shrinks in summer heat. Footings sized and placed for local soil conditions protect the deck from settling or leaning over the years. The USDA Web Soil Survey documents the expansive clay profiles common across Butte County.
Yes - especially in the Chico foothills and areas near the ridge. California has specific deck material requirements in fire hazard zones. Even outside those zones, many Chico homeowners choose composite or fire-resistant materials since the 2018 Camp Fire. We can tell you whether your address falls in a regulated zone during your free estimate.
Composite wins on durability in Chico's conditions. Intense UV exposure, triple-digit summers, and wet winters break down wood finishes faster here than in milder regions. Wood costs less upfront but requires sealing every one to three years. Composite costs more at install but needs only an occasional rinse.
Fall and winter are ideal for starting the design and permit process. Chico's Building Division can take two to six weeks for permit review during peak spring season. Starting conversations in October or November means you can break ground in early spring and have the deck ready before summer.
Verify the contractor holds a current license with the California Contractors State License Board. Confirm they carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance, will pull the permit on your behalf, and give you a written itemized estimate. A contractor who hesitates on any of these points is worth being cautious about.
Precision Chico Deck & Fence is a licensed and insured deck builder and outdoor contractor based in Chico, CA, serving 12 communities across northern California since 2019.
We hold a current license with the California Contractors State License Board and carry both general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. Every project we take on is fully permitted through the City of Chico Building Division.
Since 2019, we have completed deck builds, fence installations, pergolas, and covered outdoor structures across Chico and the surrounding region - working on everything from flat suburban yards to sloped hillside lots with mature oak trees.
If the framing is solid and fewer than a quarter of the boards are damaged, repair is often the right call. Once the structure shows rot near the ledger or at the post bases, replacement is safer and more economical long-term.
California requires railings on any deck more than 30 inches off the ground. Balusters must be spaced so a four-inch sphere cannot pass through. A permitted build means an inspector has already verified this - an unpermitted deck may not.
Research from the National Association of Realtors consistently shows that outdoor living improvements return a significant portion of their cost at resale - and a permitted deck carries more weight than an unpermitted one with buyers and lenders.

Chico is a mid-size city of about 103,000 residents in the northern Sacramento Valley, home to California State University, Chico and bordered to the east by the Sierra Nevada foothills. The city is known for its tree canopy, its Bidwell Park - one of the largest municipal parks in the country - and established residential neighborhoods with a mix of Craftsman bungalows, mid-century ranch homes, and postwar construction.
A large share of Chico's homes were built before 1980, which means many have aging wood features, older foundations, and backyards that have never had a proper outdoor structure. The city's long outdoor season - hot, sunny summers stretching past 100 degrees and mild evenings well into October - makes a well-built deck one of the most useful home improvements a Chico homeowner can make. Since the 2018 Camp Fire, fire-resistance has also become a real consideration for many residents when choosing outdoor materials.
Whether your home sits near Downtown Chico, backs up to Bidwell Park, or is out toward the east side, Precision Chico Deck & Fence has worked on homes throughout the city and understands what local soil, climate, and permit requirements mean for your specific project.
