I reached out to Jameson for a consultation and proposal on a very complex poolside deck project in the Hollywood Hills. We are doing a full remodel of the existing pool, deck, outdoor kitchen, and outdoor living area. The entire structure needs to be replaced due to code issues, long term wood deterioration, and insect damage. After speaking with several industry contacts and asking who they would trust in Southern California for highly complex projects, multiple people pointed us toward West Coast Deck, which ultimately led us to Jameson and his team. This project involves challenging engineering, hillside caisson work, fire considerations, and structural conditions that many contractors are not equipped to handle. The scope includes steel framing, AZEK PVC decking, glass railing systems, an integrated patio cover, and significant structural concrete work. Jameson and his team were able to quickly identify the key challenges, explain what needed to be addressed, and help us think through viable solutions and a clear work plan for the site. If you are considering a complex hillside or poolside project, I would feel very comfortable recommending this team. read more

We recently had West Coast Deck rebuild our patio cover and deck, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Communication with Jameson and his team was outstanding from start to finish--clear, responsive, and always professional. The craftsmanship is excellent, and Jameson's design suggestions truly elevated the project. The team showed up on time every day, kept the worksite clean, and made sure tools and materials were put away at the end of each day. The timeline they provided was clear and concise, and they delivered right on schedule. We especially love the materials and the beautiful closed-in ceiling with integrated lighting and a fan--it completely transformed our space into the outdoor dining and entertainment area we had envisioned. West Coast Deck exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work, great communication, and a team that takes pride in what they do. read more

I entertained half a dozen bids for my recent backyard project, a poolside lpê deck. The project was 1200 sq ft with a preexisting sunken infinity pool. After spending way too much time talking about what I wanted, there was ONE thing that set West Coast Deck apart from the rest... It was the people. Tino & Alex were my points of contact from start to finish and not once did I feel like they weren't doing exactly what I had asked. From the beginning, they listened to what I was saying and asked me questions to ensure that they weren't missing any details. After gathering the quotes for this project, I knew these guys wouldn't be the cheapest but it was also adherently clear that they would spend the necessary time to ensure the project was done right. I'm extremely pleased with my experience in hiring West Coast Deck. Consummate professionals from initial contact to project completion. See the photos and you'll know what I mean, these guys are SO GOOD. I'd recommend them to my mother if she had a yard that looked like this. read more

The West Coast Deck team rescued our poolside deck from disaster - we had hired a handyman on the suggestion of a friend and it quickly became clear that he couldn't handle the build. We did a search for builders who could navigate hillside projects with caissons in fire zones and found Jameson. They helped us navigate engineering and design, the county permitting process (we are in Escondido), and the build. The deck turned out incredible and the team was really great to work with and be around - the foreman, Tino, is awesome. We selected TimberTech AZEK Coastline for the decking with a Hickory border, and custom cable railing with a cedar skirt. Can't recommend these guys enough - hard to find experienced builders for this type of a complicated project. read more

I needed a composite deck foundation for a new greenhouse I was building in Del Mar Terrace. West Coast Deck was able to build a beautiful deck over an existing irregular patio that was exactly what was needed. I highly recommend the team at WCD who were a pleasure to work with through the whole process! read more

Spectacular transformation of our Del Mar African Mahogany hardwood deck - the before/after photos beat my words. We'd been reluctant even to try to restore this deck because we'd purposely exposed it to the elements without sealing for more than a decade (a story there). But we decided to get feedback and bids to assess restoration feasibility. We trusted Jamison and WCD immediately and jettisoned alternative companies. The conversations exploring whether and how to restore the deck were patient, detailed, and lacked salesmanship - we were told point blank and repeatedly that there were risks it might not work. We discussed different approaches and products before settling on Penofin Penetrating Oil Finish for Hardwood (transparent IPE), and applied two coats spaced by two months. Wow. read more

West Coast Deck did an amazing job building our custom composite deck in Carlsbad. We went with Trex decking and cable railing, and the quality of the build is outstanding. From day one, their team was professional, on time, and incredibly easy to work with. They kept the job site clean and communicated every step of the way. If you're looking for the best deck builder in North County San Diego or anywhere along the coast, West Coast Deck is it. Our backyard has been totally transformed, and I've already had neighbors asking who we used. Thank you, West Coast Deck! read more

West Coast Deck just finished a 6'x12' deck in our backyard and we highly recommend them. Jameson was super helpful when we were brainstorming ideas and picking materials. His experience and patience helped guide us to an end product we're really happy with. We picked Mahogony PVC decking by TimberTech. There were more options than we realized but Jameson helped us understand the pros and cons of different products and the price points within certain manufacturers. During installation, the West Coast Deck crew was respectful of our space and always kept it clean and safe. We have two young daughters so this was important to us. The attention to detail was also really impressive. Even though our deck is probably smaller than most of their projects, Jameson and his crew worked hard to make sure the deck exceeded our expectations. We're looking forward to enjoying the San Diego summer in our newly improved backyard. read more

DO NOT GIVE HIM MONEY. I was not going to write a review and waste my time on this guy BUT the same thing happened to someone else. I found him through FB which is probably my first mistake.... Then I gave him a deposit for a project that he continued to push back. Weeks go by and he continued to make up excuses. He finally said he would give me my deposit back but wouldn't. Last thing-- is that he used another companies photos and videos on Facebook as if they were his work. People like this should never have a business. Some of these reviews HAVE TO BE FRIENDS. read more

Jameson nailed it with our custom raised deck. He took our existing design and turned it into this awesome, top-quality creation that is sure to last. The best part we appreciated was that he kept us in the loop the whole time, sending us pics of his progress, and the pricing was reasonable. He did a great job finishing well before our deadline. Definitely can't wait to collab again for other projects. read more

Made 1st appointment for a new balcony deck, Jamerson was a no show. When we contacted him he apologized & said he had kid activities pop-up. He did come by a week later, took a few photos, no measurements & texted later saying we'd receive an email with a proposal. We never received an email or any other communication with this company. Red Flag. read more

West Coast Deck is the very best. Since COVID we always wanted a soak tank pool. They are so cool but once Jameson built the decking it turned our backyard into "mini vacationland". I was offered lots of options and his expertise was amazing. I would not only hire West Coast deck but I already did to replace a fence . Good contractors are few and far between but West Coast Deck is 1st rate and I recommend them to not only friends and family , but you too. Enjoy read more

We had been wanting to have some deck work done and to replace our existing wooden posts and railings. West Coast Deck was highly recommended. After reviewing Jameson Haslam's proposal, we selected West Coast deck for our project. Jameson and his crew did amazing work and we couldn't be more pleased! Jameson and his crew were consummate professionals. From their proposal, selection of new materials, construction and project completion, they kept us informed. The stair posts were each custom made and despite a minor fabrication delay, everything went well. We chose "Ipe" tropical hardwood, as our new decking surface and top rails. For the deck and stair posts, we selected white powder coated metal. Instead of going with the conventional cable railing we opted for solid #316 stainless steel rod, 3/8" in diameter. We're really pleased with the look of the white posts, Ipe top rail and stainless steel rod. Topping off the project is LED Lightning under the top rail. That provides a soft, warm glow to our deck at night. Our final product is gorgeous. If you are looking to construct a deck or just update your deck's surface material and it's looks we highly recommend Jameson Haslam and West Coast Deck. They do amazing and beautiful work. read more

While I did not end up using West Coast Deck, Jameson was extremely responsive and upfront about my quote request. I was inquiring about a deck to go overtop an old cracked concrete slab. The project was outside of my project, simply because I was comparing it to the price of a new concrete slab. Thanks again Jameson for your time in assessing the project! read more

It is very unusual to write reviews for companies you didn't work with but I can't thank Jameson enough for the kindness he showed me. He is a true professional with an incredibly positive way of treating others. I'm putting together an outdoor media wall with wood siding and he offered his time and expertise to various products and approaches to the job. His time and advice is very much appreciated and had I ended up using his company I am confident that he would have done a great job with the installation. Thanks again!! read more

Jameson and his team were amazing! I met with several contractors (four to be exact) and knew immediately that West Coast Deck was best qualified for the job. They were also quick to respond and get my project going. I had a design plan in mind and Jameson was able to help me fill in all of the design elements, overlooked details, and structural measurements to carry it out. Their attention to detail is impeccable. The entire job from start to finish was nothing but a positive experience. Outdoor living in SD is a must. The deck turned out absolutely gorgeous, worth every penny. I can't believe how fast they completed it. Very impressed. I would 100% recommend West Coast Deck to anyone. I am hoping to get them back soon to help me with a few other projects. Thank you Jameson and team! read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. The owner seemed super nice at first, but took three months to come and finish the job he started, which was revamping our second floor deck. He and his workers were beyond sloppy (photos will show this), and all their work had to be redone by our contractor's team. In addition to sloppiness, the work was just unbelievably unsafe. Jameson did not have the proper gaskets to secure the glass to the rails, AND HE JUST LEFT IT LIKE THAT AND COLLECTED OUR $10,000!!! I then noticed another review that said he didn't have his license number up- so I checked on that and as of august 2023, there is no professional license associated with the owner Jameson. I found an old website that listed a different person's license number, so I looked him up and called him to complain about the unfinished and unsafe job. He was rude as well, but eventually finally came to finish the job that Jameson had started. Our contractor literally sat behind him and watched until it was done. All this is to say DO NOT under any circumstances use this sketchy, unsafe person. Words cannot do justice to how unsafe he left our house and when I confronted him about it via text, he tried to call me, so as not to leave any liability in writing. I have two young children who play on the deck who could have fallen right through the glass he neglected to secure and that makes my blood boil. read more

A couple of weeks ago I called multiple deck contractors most of whom I found on Yelp. While most of them never returned my call, West Coast Deck did. We scheduled an appointment for the rep (Jameson, I think) to come to our house to discuss our project. We had agreed to late Friday afternoon. On the afternoon of the appointment I receive a text that he was not going to be able to make it to the appointment and said we'd have to reschedule. On Wednesday the following week, after not getting contacted by him to reschedule, I texted him to do so. We agreed to meet late afternoon on Monday of the following week. This time he didn't even bother to text me that he couldn't make it, he just never showed up. A week has passed since then and I still haven't heard from him. Very unprofessional and inconsiderate of my time! I guess I should feel lucky that you ghosted me. If you are this unprofessional during the sales portion of the project it does not bode well for the execution of the project. Disaster averted I guess. read more

We hired West Coast Deck for our deck and fence work at our home in Del Mar. We interviewed several contractors and evaluated a bunch of different options before choosing them. The positive reviews, client references, attentiveness during the sales process, and product knowledge made the difference, and the project matched and exceeded expectations. Jameson is incredibly knowledgeable and demonstrated an above and beyond level of care throughout the project. This level of attentiveness extended to the entire team - we have had a lot of work done on our property in the last year and my wife and I have been notably impressed by the attention and care that the West Coast Deck team has - it really stands out. They are clean, polite, and caring about the work, the surrounding property, and other people. We've connected them to several neighbors and will be using them again in the future as maintenance requires. read more

We hired Jameson Haslam, owner of West Coast Deck approximately one year ago to build a deck in our canyon backyard. It was a massive disaster. Jameson started the work digging huge holes in our backyard and cut into two retaining walls without obtaining a permit we thought we paid for. His workers stopped showing up, leaving us with a mess. Jameson's excuse was, " I got in over my skis". We later learned Jameson did not have a contractors license and was using someone else's license which is illegal. We asked Jameson to repair the retaining walls and he refused. We hired an attorney and reported him and West Coast Deck to the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). To this date, Jameson Haslam and/or West Coast Deck does not have a contractor's license, workman's comp insurance or any insurance. DO NOT USE WEST COAST DECK!!!! read more

Amazing customer service , Jameson is extremely informative , professional, on time and went out of his way to explain everything .
