Our Story

How we ended up doing this

Midway Deck Co started out swinging hammers on other crews' deck jobs before going out on its own. Most of the work these days is Madera homeowners either adding a deck where there wasn't one, or tearing out one that's rotted past the point of patching.

Word of mouth brings in most of the calls, which means the last deck built has to hold up to the neighbor leaning on the rail. That keeps the framing honest and the fasteners tight, because there's no second chance to make a first impression on a deck somebody can see from the street.

Why Choose Us

What you get when you hire us

None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.

Licensed & Insured

Coverage is in place for both the crew and the structure while work is underway. Certificates are available if a homeowner or HOA wants to see them.

Permits Handled

Madera County requires a permit for most deck builds attached to the house or more than 30 inches off the ground. That paperwork and the inspection scheduling get handled directly, so it doesn't fall on the homeowner.

Written Quotes

A written quote breaks out lumber, hardware, labor and any concrete work separately, so it's clear where the money goes. Change orders get written up too, nothing gets added to the bill without a conversation first.

Material Options

Some homeowners want the lowest upfront cost and go with treated pine, others want composite so they're not restaining every couple years. Either way, the framing underneath gets built to the same standard.

Scheduled and On Time

A rough schedule gets set before the first board gets cut, covering framing days, inspection wait time and decking. Weather in the Valley can push things a day or two, but it gets communicated instead of left to guesswork.

Local to Madera

Working mostly within a short drive of Madera means less time on the road and more time on the job site. It also means knowing which lots hold water and which have clay soil that calls for bigger footings.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about Midway Deck Co itself.

How long have you been building decks?
Midway Deck Co has been building and repairing decks in the Madera area for years, with experience going back further through work on other crews before that. Deck framing, footings and railing code haven't changed much, so that experience carries over directly to current jobs.
Do you use your own crew, or subcontract the work out?
Deck framing and decking installation are done by Midway Deck Co's own crew rather than handed off to subcontractors. Concrete footing work is sometimes coordinated with a trusted concrete crew depending on the scope of the job.
Can I see examples of past deck work?
Photos of completed decks are available to look through, showing different materials, railing styles and layouts. Seeing a deck in person nearby can sometimes be arranged too, depending on the homeowner.
Why hire a smaller deck builder instead of a large remodeling company?
A smaller deck-focused company means the person who quotes the job is usually the one who shows up to build it, instead of a salesperson handing it off to a rotating crew. It also tends to mean more attention on deck-specific details, like ledger flashing and joist spacing, rather than decks being one small line item among kitchens and additions.
Where is Midway Deck Co based?
Midway Deck Co is based in Madera, California, and works throughout the surrounding Central Valley towns. Being local means shorter drive times and more familiarity with the soil and climate conditions specific to this area.
How far in advance do I need to book a deck project?
Booking a few weeks ahead is usually enough for a straightforward deck, though busier stretches of the year can push that out further. Permit review time, if required, often ends up being the longer wait, separate from the crew's own schedule.
Do you clean up the job site when the work is done?
Old lumber, cut-offs, nails and packaging all get hauled away at the end of a project, the yard doesn't get left with a pile of scrap. A final walkthrough happens before calling the job finished, checking for stray screws or debris in the grass.
What happens if something gets damaged during construction?
Liability insurance covers accidental damage to the property that happens during deck construction, such as landscaping or siding. Anything that happens gets addressed directly with the homeowner rather than left unresolved.
Will you finish a deck that another contractor started or abandoned?
Picking up a partially finished deck is possible, starting with an inspection of what's already built to check if the framing meets code before adding to it. Sometimes it's cheaper to finish what's there, other times the existing work has to come out first.
How can I check that the framing is being done correctly before the boards go on?
Framing inspection happens through the county permit process, where an inspector checks footing depth, joist spacing and ledger attachment before decking can go on. A homeowner is also welcome to ask questions or look at the framing directly before it gets covered.
