California Deck Builders was the most phenomenal company that we have ever worked with when it comes to home improvement. I reached out to Kobi for an estimate, he came by, we chatted, he showed us some samples, and then I asked for some time to figure out a date that worked for us to start. As soon as we were ready to get started, Kobi, Eddie, and team were ready and they began assembling the most stunning deck that adds SO much to the beautiful view we already had. Eddie was here every single day (from early morning to very late in the afternoon) putting in work with his team and ensuring that everything went smoothly and that the project was moving along in a timely manner. They finished this stunning project in less than TEN days, which honestly was so surprising because it was a wonderful project! I cannot recommend this company ENOUGH. They are professional, understanding, and I will DEFINITELY be hiring them again for other home projects. 1000% would recommend to anyone wanting to improve their home with a deck, or any of the other jobs they do. Thank you, Kobi! And, thank you Eddie for all of the professionalism, hard work, and intentionality to every detail of the deck. We appreciate California Deck Builders. read more

Kobi and his team are the best. The deck turned out better than we could have imagined. Eddie was amazing and was always reliable. Quality craftsmanship. We had a small change in plans and they were able to execute flawlessly. Very happy - would recommend to anybody. read more

We had a back electronic sliding gate built - Kobi came to our house several times to go over what we all thought would be best - gave us a great estimate and delivered and installed on time - it's been great and fair - prices very competitive with other estimates we got - Kobi responds pretty much as soon as I have questions - we even had an issue after it was installed (our fault) and one of his guys came on a Saturday the next day to fix it - great customer service - Kobi had been a real partner in it all! read more

Kobi and his team were fantastic from start to finish. From our very first meeting, Kobi immediately understood my vision and made me feel confident that I was in good hands. His communication throughout the project was excellent -- always responsive, clear, and helpful. I originally hired them for decking, fencing, and an outdoor kitchen -- and everything turned out beautifully. I was so happy with the quality of their work that I later hired them for hardscaping and outdoor lighting as well. His team handled the additional work seamlessly, maintaining the same level of care and craftsmanship throughout. The crew worked quickly without ever compromising on quality. Their pricing was reasonable, and the final result exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely hire California Deck Builders again, and I've already started recommending them to friends and neighbors. If you're looking for great craftsmanship and a team that's easy to work with, look no further! read more

I just purchased my home which had an old deck in the yard. I called 3 different deck builders , with Californian Deck Builders being one of them. I never write reviews, but in this case I felt it appropriate. They were a bit higher in the estimate, but after discussing the project I felt I was going to get a better built deck.. Was I happy I went with them. Beautiful deck using the Trex product. Hard working crew . Thank Youz read more

I looove Kobi and the quality of his work. I have used him at least three times. In 2014 he built a 60 foot retaining wall to shore up my back yard. 10 years later, there has not been a single problem with it through earthquakes and super heavy rains. Recently, he built a smallish deck for the servicers of my solar equipment that the city required. Thirdly, he built a concrete pad under my electric panel that the city required because God forbid a city employee have to stand on flat solid earth. Anyway, Kobi is the best. I'd leave my kids with him. He's a real human being, a professional, and does quality work that stands the test of time. I am the thriftiest human on Earth and found his prices very fair. You found your guy, now hire him@ read more

I don't leave bad reviews but this was unbelievable. I just called up to get a quote on a new deck and the guy answers "ya?" I asked if this was California deck builders and he said "ya what do you want" so I said I think I'm going to go with someone else. He responded "ya go." Absolutely unbelievable read more

Had a 17' x 20' multilevel ipe deck built as our front entrance. Kobi worked with us to envision a great looking front entrance, and his crew, Ehud and Q did an incredible job executing. Communication from the beginning was timely and helpful. They worked with us to integrate our preferences with what was practical, and tailored the finished work to our goals. Ehud and Q work incredibly hard and are experts of their craft. Finishing touches including custom welded railing and ipe plugs to hide the screws completely transformed our front entrance. Would hire again in a heartbeat, and highly recommend. read more

I had major water damage emanating from my lanai down into 3 rooms below. Kobi called me after I made inquiry to a national brand of decking. He made an onsite inspection of lanai replacement and repair of damage to interior. An earlier contractor had done some demolition then disappeared. I had estimates saying it would take a month or more to repair everything But would have to wait 4- 6 weeks to begin. Kobi and crew started immediately had it perfectly done in 2 weeks. Crew was there everyday smiling and hard working and cleaned up at end of day.Kobi made regular inspections to ensure high standards. I read all of Kobi YELP review and ALL were outstanding. He is absolutely the very best. A promise maker and promise keeper. He is a sure thing. OUTSTANDING read more

I watched Kobi, Eddie and Em put in a new Trex deck at my friend's house. From the start they were friendly and professional. I was very impressed with their work and the finished product is simply spectacular. I would highly recommend California Deck Builders to anyone who is looking to build a phenomenal deck in their yard. read more

I called a few Decking companies for bids and knowledge on what I needed. When California Deck Builders came out, Kobi and Em looked at my old deck and measured it out, they were so respectful and professional. Kobi gave me the bid and I knew by talking to the both of them that I liked them very much. But I had a lower bid from another company. I waited about a month going back a forth. I just felt that Kobi was the one that made me feel that I would be in good hands. I just had that intuition, and I went for it. I just called Kobi back and hired him on the spot! That was my LUCKY day! On time on schedule and all three of them got right on it. Eddie was amazing and a very hard worker. They did a phenomenal job and right on schedule. I have gotten so many compliments on my Trex decking, railings, and gates! It is gorgeous and I 100% recommend California Deck Builders (Kobi, Eddie and Em)....... They are truly gifted at their craft! Thank you for everything and my intuition was right! This company is the best ever!!!! read more

My experience with California Deck Builders was the best. The company specializes in decks only. My project involved demolishing an old deck that was falling apart and installing a new larger deck and some electrical outlets. Kobi was extremely responsive and knowledgeable. He did not attempt to up-sell and provided a fair estimate for the work and materials. His crew is the best. They are respectful, hard-working and removed all of the trash from the job site each day. They finished the job a day sooner than expected. I am extremely pleased with the result, and I have received numerous compliments about the new deck. I highly recommend using California Deck Builders. I would use them again in a heartbeat! read more

Kobi and his team were exceptional. We met with three other deck companies but am extremely happy with our decision to go with California Deck Builders. They helped us design the Ipe deck off of our back veranda and did an incredible job on it. I was particularly impressed by their attention to detail, quality work and how well they worked together as a team to get the job done - on time and on budget. Their work was so good that we also had them put up a redwood fence and gate in our side yard. They also ran gas and electric for a fire pit and outlets, two things that make the deck even more usable day and night. It's been two months, and we've had many family meals on the deck and have spent many nights lounging on the deck as the sun goes down over the ocean. This is what California living is all about. read more

California Deck Builders did an incredible job on my custom fence, hedge, and gate project. On time and under budget, with excellent communication and attention to detail. Top notch craftsmanship and creativity. My project required many custom elements to bring the entire design to fruition, from precise measurements to custom welded areas of the boundary fence and hedge to conform to existing concrete walls of varying height, ground level and patio coverage as well as a custom hidden mailbox feature. At each step of the way, Kobi and his team were focused on doing the job right, and dedicating extra design time to ensure it turned out brilliant. Exceptional and talented team, highly recommended.

Kobi was professional from the get go and delivered a fantastically sound, well-built final product. He rebuilt our severely disrepaired and rotting deck that had been built with the house originally from the 1980s. Kobi was reasonable in terms of the specific customizations that we wanted to apply, gently turning us away from the more costly, less impactful design decisions and pointing us toward the finishes and decisions that we would be happy with. I found his costs to be higher than comparable contractors, but I think his quality approach is probably worth it. Thanks, Kobi for a fantastic deck. Really appreciate it. read more

In March we called California Deck Builders and two weeks later the deck was finished. Kobe, Antonio and his team did an excellent job. They replaced our 50 year old redwood deck with Ipe. They were also able to save our existing railing and build the new deck under and around it. From the first estimate from Edgar until we said goodbye to the team they were a pleasure to have around. The deck and the wood are beautiful and should last another 50 years. Thank you Kobi. read more

I had California Deck Builders build a wooden deck and fence in my Burbank re-landscaped backyard this summer and Kobi and his crew did a professional job.  I love my new deck.  His crew worked very hard in the summer heat and if you have a question about anything Cobi responds back very quickly.  I interviewed other deck companies who gave a cheaper bid but I felt more confident with Kobi and there is a reason he has high Yelp reviews. He build an IPE deck and a clear redwood side fence and it looked fantastic. I wanted to give an update. I needed a lower decorated fence built in my front yard and I called Kobi a year later because he did such a good job on my backyard and I was not disappointed because he did a wonderful job on my new clear redwood fence. I highly recommend California Deck Builders for deck and fence work. read more

I had an existing balcony deck that I wanted torn down and replaced. While they were generally easy to communicate with via text (which in my opinion doesn't seem to be the most professional way to conduct business), it's hard to give a completely positive rating to a company that won't even come out to look at the job and give a bid. Instead, they wanted me to talk with an engineer before deciding the best way for THEM to proceed. I eventually got them to give me a bid (again sight unseen) and it was about $10,000+ more than other bids. All in all, they seemed relatively easy to communicate with, just not hungry, enthusiastic or willing to put in the effort enough for the job. UPDATE TO BUSINESS RESPONSE: Communication via text was never "agreed" upon. Have you ever "agreed" upon communication via text with any person let alone a business? That even sounds retarded. Why would I even complain about it if it was something I agreed on? It was weird and an unprofessional way to discuss work that potentially costs 25k+. I don't have any problem consulting a engineer and at no time did I express this to Kobi. (Want me to post the texts?) When the builder wants you to consult one before personally looking at the job, you can be sure they severely lack the experience and confidence of a senior professional. They can "spin" it any way they want... but their lackadaisical bid was much higher than their competitors and it was evident they wanted to do as little work for the job as possible. If I was never a customer, it is because I chose to go elsewhere. Their lack of customer service left a lot to be desired. Good luck getting them to your house for the "FREE ESTIMATE" that is advertised at the top and bottom of every page on their website. Make sure you get other bids before proceeding with California Deck Builders. read more

Price - 5 stars Communication - 5 stars Attention to big details - 5 stars Attention to small details - 4 stars (one screw showing, pencil marks still on some planks, some plank end cuts could be straighter to match plank next to them) California Deck Builders built a deck out of Azek for us. Kobi, the owner, is a super nice guy, great communicator, and gave us a great price. He's also an impressive chef/baker...check out the company Instagram! Only complaint is that I wish his workers had paid closer attention to some small details here and there. read more

My husband and I just bought a home. The inspector and appraiser said we needed work done on the front porch in order to bring it up to code. The job would take several thousand dollars and possibly change the aesthetic of the house. I found California Deck Builders on Yelp and, given their incredible reviews, decided to reach out. When I brought this to the attention of Kobi, the owner of CDB, he said that the porch was fine and in line with all Los Angeles and California code. He said he would happily do the job if it's what we wanted. But, he said the job was unnecessary if it solely to satisfy code (because it was already up to code). I don't even recall how much time he spent helping us, but I can say this - I've never experienced such stellar customer service in my life. We don't need a deck or new porch now, but since we are buying this home as an investment, I imagine we will eventually make upgrades. When we do, there is only one place we will work with and that CBD. Thank you for your honesty and integrity, Kobi. You went above and beyond. I won't soon forget and do hope to work with you in the future should we ever need your expertise. read more

My lucky day was when I called a decking company to get a quote and they told me that our project was not even close to their minimum. Fortunately for me they were nice enough to give me the contact information for California Deck Builders. What a score that was! I called the number and a gentleman by the name of Kobi came out the next day! Turns out we hired Kobi, who is highly professional, and he did an excellent job! read more

I talked to a number of well-reviewed deck and fence builders before engaging Kobi and Edgar. The difference with CDB was that in initial conversations, they had a much stronger handle on the design process and attention to detail I was looking for. I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted, had made scale drawings and bookmarked photos; the suggestions they made were really on point and actually improved the outcome tremendously. Terrific creative partners to work with, combined with 100% reliability and fast, on-budget execution. Great experience and highly recommend. read more

Stop searching now. Just hire California Deck Builders! Kobi, Richey, and Erika are all a sheer pleasure to work with and I highly recommend them if you want an honest and reliable contractor at a fair price, who proactively contributes great design suggestions, and takes pride in their artisan craftsmanship. We hired them to finish a deck that was started by another general landscape contractor. CDB not only finished it ahead of schedule, but their work exceeded our expectations including professionalism, material selection (ipe), and construction quality. Their work is now the crown jewel of our backyard. Of course they do the obvious stuff (which should be standard, but often is not) - showed up reliably on time, communicated clearly and frequently, cleaned after each day, had a professional setup, worked full days, presented a good solid contract, were very easy to work. But more importantly, Kobi listened to our ideas, carefully considered them, and provided alternatives to consider. For us this included: - Smaller tree opening in the top deck for safety, and can be enlarged later as needed - Various screw options and patterns for visual interest - Alternate bench design to integrate better with the surrounding yard conditions - Various wood transitions and edge condition details - Design solution for concealing the fountain pump with a removable cap that doubled as a step to the upper deck - Cleanly notched wood panels to cover uneven tile installations at the fountain Kobi also connected us with a skilled and licensed electrician who helped us properly ground and reconnect all power in the yard, which were incorrectly installed by the previous contractors we hired. I could go on. At the end of the day, Kobi, Erika and Richie are great people. I had the pleasure of eating lunch with them during break, and we had stimulating, fun, and enjoyable conversations over mexican food. THIS is how it's supposed to be. read more

Kobi and his team are a rare find. They came up with a plan to fix my aging deck and gave me a competitive bid. The crew was professional, efficient and respectful. They also showed up on time every day, and finished the job in three weeks as promised. When was the last time I had a crew do that? Never. I'd hire this company again, but my deck is so well built that I doubt I'll need to. read more

We hired California Deck Builders to remove and replace the 25 year old pergola over our patio.  Our experience with Kobi and crew was excellent. Kobi responded quickly, worked with us to formulate a plan and provided an estimate.Some months went by before we decided to proceed. Kobi again responded quickly, we went over the plan and some additional details. Wood was ordered, the crew showed up on time and were professional in all respects. The work space was cleaned and left orderly each day.Communication was great, the result is just what we anticipated and we could not be more pleased. Fast and efficient with excellent quality.We look forward to working with Kobi and crew in the future! read more

I am remodeling a house and Kobi and team have been the singularly best and easiest contractor I have dealt with. They were 100% on schedule, basically on budget and very responsive to my concerns. Kobi and I agreed upon a TREX deck and we designed something simple and within my budget. It was built in a timely way, and everything looks great. I will keep you posted as to the deck, but since I used TREX I have a 25 year warrantee so hopefully this deck is easy and painless as Kobi and the team for many years to come. read more

Kobi and his team of deck builders are the most professional design construction team in the business.

We were dreading the process of replacing the deck outside our guest house, because we live on a slowly eroding hill, so in order to do it properly we would also need a retaining wall for it to stand on. Add to that the fact that the old deck was about to collapse, and the guest house was occupied by our 90-year-old grandma, and you can see why we were losing sleep over this. What we needed was a deck builder who could also build a retaining wall, and also replace the little overhanging roof that partially enclosed grandma's washer and dryer. From our first meeting with Kobi, it was clear that he had a great aesthetic sense along with his technical knowledge (my wife and I are both in graphics, so we can be sticklers for design.) The crew were always prompt, kept the job site tidy, and did a beautiful job - all while making sure grandma had safe access to the outside world. We went with Trex and a metal rail, because we wanted zero deck maintenance. Now we have a beautiful new deck on a solid retaining wall, and grandma has a mini laundry room which she loves. It was all completely painless, we're super happy, and more importantly we can sleep at night! read more

5 Stars for pride of workmanship, quality of materials, Kobi's professionalism and timeliness to get the job done. Thank you Kobi for the beautiful Trex deck! I chose California Deck Builders after consulting with several deck builders, checking customer reviews and verifying credentials with the California State License Board. The CDB quote ended up being slightly higher than the competitors, but CBD seemed to be the most skilled at building a Trex deck. In fact, Trex gave CDB a "Platinum" rating for their level of expertise and volume of decks installed with this material. This is the highest ranking Trex gives to builders. The final product was superior. I was extremely happy with the final result. The workman Auhd disassembled the existing deck in a neat and methodical manner. He then rebuilt the entire deck by himself! Kobi built the beautiful cable railing that allows a much broader unobstructed view. The job took 2 weeks instead of the projected 3 weeks. The entire project turned out just as I imagined it would. Although the price was higher than CBD competitors, I believe the quality and design is well worth it! We love the new deck and cable railing! Pros: California State License Board checks out Trex "Platinum" builder status Auhd and Kobi take pride in their work. (This is a hard quality to find these days) Arrived at work on time each day Finished the job a week early Top quality deck and design Follow-up: It's been one-month since the install and I noticed one of the nail plugs was missing and another wasn't flush with the deck. I contacted the salesperson, Edgar and he took care of the issue promptly and even provided me with extra plugs for the future. Thanks Edgar for your help even after the job was complete! read more

We contacted several contractors about removing our tired wooden deck and replacing it with Trex decking material. Kobi's bid wasn't the lowest, but it was clear talking to him that he understood the product and how it would need to be installed. Eddie and Q, who did the actual work, were perfectionists in every sense of the word. They arrived on time and worked hard through some of the hottest weather we've ever had, even coming back over the holiday weekend to finish up. They left the area spotless when they were done. We've now got a beautiful, forever deck and couldn't be any happier with California Deck Builders. You will not regret hiring them for your project. read more

*Concrete Retaining Wall Review Let me start by saying, the reviews here are real and the 5 stars are well deserved. I had CDB come out for a quote for building a retaining wall in our front yard - over 25 feet long, right under three feet tall. Erika from California Deck Builders came and the quote was more of a consultation. We chatted about structural needs of the wall, exactly how it was going to be built, etc. I had another concrete specialist company come for a quote - they were late and guy measured and didn't even speak to me, ask questions, etc. In the end the quotes were almost exactly the same and I just had a better feeling about CDB. They built an amazing wall (filled with concrete & rebar iron), stucco finish and it looks nothing short of professional. This wall had to follow a downward slope and it was straight as an arrow. We are THRILLED we went with CDB and I am sure you will be too. They built this wall in under 5 days - excellent turnaround. We are definitely using them in the future. read more

Kobi with California Deck Builders gets every star I'm allowed to give him, and more. My wife and I had previously foolishly trusted a landscape designer that bilked us out of money and time and left us almost in tears before we were able to fix all the damage he had caused. So, when it came to find someone to build our deck, we were *especially* cautious. We interviewed multiple builders - right from the start, Kobi was the head of the pack. Not only did he have very competitive prices, he was actively engaged and offered several design suggestions to make the deck even more attractive. Still, after our previous experience, I was still paranoid. So, I asked Kobi if there were any previous clients I could call and talk to myself. He didn't provide me one or two... he gave me FIVE. And every one of them couldn't find enough great things to say about Kobi, his quality and his professionalism. So, of course we hired him. The deck is 30' by 15', plus a French door into our bedroom, and three outdoor electrical sockets in our backyard. He started exactly when he said he would. He finished ahead of schedule. The deck is beautiful. But he went far beyond that: --At first, we were going to have him build a pergola over the deck, but decided that, in order to save money, we would build the pergola ourselves. So, even though this meant less money for Kobi, he was still happy to sink the four supports for the pergola when he build the deck, at no charge! *And* he gave us some very cool tips on construction and some tips on how to make the posts look even cooler. --When he installed the French door, he left the bedroom absolutely spotless with a flawless paint job inside. Outside, we didn't have any of the original housepaint, so he took a paint chip and had it matched so that the outside matches excellently. --And THEN, without being asked, he used that paint to touch up a part of our house that had just been a big unpainted patch (from some previous damage that had been patched up). --And THEN he installed three outdoor lamps that my wife had bought (none of this was in the original agreement, just out of the goodness of his heart). --My wife was so happy, she made Kobi and his crew a batch of her amazing brownies. Kobi called me that night to let me know how much that meant to him and his crew. In summary: Kobi of California Deck Builders is not just a true professional, he doesn't just do really beautiful work, but he goes above and beyond to put that extra bit of attention in to let you know that he really cares about his work and his relationship with his clients. Rating: All the Stars. read more

Can't say enough about how amazing Kobi and his team were! We live in an older house that always presents unique challenges when doing any form of remodel and he and his crew knew exactly how to troubleshoot every situation and did it with kindness, efficiency, and (most importantly) a real eye for perfection. Thrilled to have Kobi and his crew as a resource and will definitely be using them for all future projects in and around my home/yard! Thank you, Kobi!! read more

Kobi is 'that guy' you look for when doing work on your house or property; the guy who brings a top-notch team for the job, the guy who offers several alternatives [at different price points, no less!], and then does not try to push you into the one that is most expensive, or the one you don't really need, just to suit him. The best people in their biz don't need that, and Kobi is the best. And the work he DOES do, not only transformed the front of our house...it literally changed the neighborhood, once every one nearby saw it! He's done several projects for us already, and will do more in the future. read more

Knowing we wanted to use Trex on our new deck, we brought on Kobi (one of only certified Trex contractors) to the project. Having lived through a 2nd story addition and two bathroom remodels, I'm somewhat familiar with the contractor/customer dynamic. Happy to say Kobi and his crew Eddie and Steve (his real name is Shakhar but Steve seemed to work) exceeded all our expectations. They were punctual. They were friendly and easy to work with. And they were meticulous with the crafting of the new deck and the subsequent new fence, which made the project all the better. Kobi and crew EARNED my highest recommendation. And as a skeptical picky New Yorker, I can safely say I don't say that too often. Thanks CDB. read more
