Why homeowners recommend us

One builder, on your job from the first board to the last.

We are not a sales company that hands your deck off to whatever crew is free that week. Jerrid runs every build himself, start to finish. That is why homeowners tell us the site stayed clean, the schedule held, and the finished deck looks like someone cared about every board and post.

What we build

Custom outdoor spaces, built for how you actually live.

Custom ground-level deck with black metal railing behind a home+

Custom decks

Multi-level, wraparound, or a simple platform off the back door. Framed square and solid, from lumber we pick by hand.

Cedar screened porch built on a raised deck+

Covered & screened porches

Covered and screened porches that turn a hot, buggy patio into a room you actually use all summer.

Cedar pergola built over a backyard deck+

Custom pergolas

Cedar pergolas that add shade and shape over a deck or patio, sized and pitched for your yard.

Freshly built deck showing straight, sound lumber+

Hand-selected lumber

We choose the boards ourselves, so what ends up on your deck is straight, sound, and ready to last.

Privacy fences

Solid privacy fencing that closes off the yard and lines up cleanly with the deck it sits beside.

Wood accessibility ramp built alongside a raised deck by Sunshine Deck+

Accessible ramps

Handicap-accessible ramps built to code for safe, easy access, framed to the same standard as our decks.

Old deck, new deck

A lot of our jobs start with a deck that has seen better days.

Much of what we do is tear out a tired, unsafe deck and build something the family can trust again. Here is the difference homeowners tell us about.

The deck you have now

Worn out, and you know it

  • Soft, splintering boards and rails that give when you lean on them
  • Stairs that never sat quite right and got worse with age
  • A company that sends a crew to rush it and move on to the next job
The deck we build

Solid, and built to stay that way

  • + Square framing and hand-selected lumber that holds up for years
  • + The backyard left cleaner than we found it, on the schedule we set
  • + One builder, Jerrid, hands-on from the first cut to the last

“...replacing my old unsafe deck with one that will last decades. Hard working, honest, and will go the extra mile to ensure the job is done right.”Chris Carlson, Google review

I couldn't be more pleased or say enough good things about working with Sunshine Deck & Fence on both my projects. After contacting a few companies that sent out sales people who would send out a crew to complete the jobs as quickly as possible to move on to the next, I was eager to find a reputable owner/builder who would be hands-on with my projects. All of the glowing reviews are well deserved and one of the reasons I was eager to hire Jerrid to build my deck and fence. I appreciate him taking the time and caring about the projects as if he were building them for himself. His integrity and hard work can be seen in his craftsmanship and attention to detail. Dealing with Jerrid was pleasant and smooth, and he was extremely respectful and accommodating to both neighbors, going above and beyond what should be expected of a fence company. Thank you again, Jerrid!

We are extremely happy with our new deck. The quality of work is excellent. The crew ran into a few complications during our project and Jerrid made sure to take the time and fix it right - even though in meant a few more days of work than originally planned. Jerrid's communication and responsiveness was great. We received a few different cost estimates and Jerrid's price was right in line with the others. We went with Sunshine as they had the best reviews and really glad we did.

Jerrid and his team did a fantastic job removing some old stairs and replacing with a lovely 8x10 deck. They got the entire job done in one weekend. They were very friendly, left the backyard cleaner than they found it and fixed a gate to my backyard free of charge. Would highly recommend!

Jerrid and his team did an excellent job (especially in the 105 heat wave) replacing my old unsafe deck with one that will last decades. Hard working, honest, and will go the extra mile to ensure the job is done right.
