Learn MoreReach out by phone or through the contact form. We will ask a few quick questions about your project - size, location, and what you have in mind. You do not need to have every detail figured out. We respond within 1 business day to schedule a free on-site visit at a time that works for you.
We come to your property, take measurements, assess the ground conditions, and talk through your options. You will leave the meeting with a clear picture of what the project looks like and what it will cost. We submit a written, itemized proposal - no vague ballparks. Changes on paper are free; changes after framing starts are not, so we take this step seriously.
Once you approve the contract, we handle the permit application with the City of Marina on your behalf. When the permit is approved, construction begins. We manage the build from footings to final railings, schedule the city inspection, and do a walkthrough with you before we call the job complete. You receive all permit documents for your records.
We carry a current California contractor license and full liability insurance on every project. You can verify our license number anytime through the California Contractors State License Board. No shortcuts, no subcontracted unlicensed crews.
Every estimate starts with a free visit to your property - not a guess over the phone. We measure, assess ground conditions, and put together a written, itemized quote before you commit to anything. You owe us nothing until you sign a contract.
We have been building decks and fences in Marina and the surrounding Monterey Bay communities since 2017. We know the permit process, the soil conditions, the coastal climate, and the neighborhoods - because we work here every week.
The number in your signed contract is the number you pay. If an unexpected condition changes the scope, we discuss it with you before it affects your cost - not after. No surprise invoices when the job is done.

"We had them build a composite deck off our back door. They pulled the permit, handled the inspection, and the whole project came in on time and on the number they quoted us. The deck has held up through two winters without any issues."
David R., Monterey - Composite deck installation
"Our old wood fence was falling apart from the salt air. Marina Deck and Fence replaced it with vinyl and the difference is night and day. Clean work, no mess left behind, and they were done in two days like they said they would be."
Patricia M., Seaside - Vinyl fence installation
"We wanted a pergola and covered area over our patio. They came out, took measurements, and gave us a written quote the same week. The structure is solid and looks exactly like what we talked about during the estimate. Very straightforward to work with."
Sandra K., Pacific Grove - Pergola installation
We respond within 1 business day - usually sooner. There is no obligation to proceed after your estimate. Once you submit the form, someone from our office will call you to schedule a free on-site visit so we can measure your space and put together a written quote.

Yes - and meaningfully so. The salt-laden air off Monterey Bay accelerates corrosion on metal fasteners and speeds up surface breakdown on wood finishes. Materials and hardware rated for coastal conditions are not optional in Marina - they are what separates a deck that lasts 20 years from one that starts showing problems in five.
Composite wins on longevity and maintenance. Wood - particularly cedar or redwood - can look beautiful but requires sealing every one to two years in coastal climates. Composite boards do not absorb moisture, resist mildew, and carry 25-year manufacturer warranties. For homeowners who want minimal upkeep near the water, composite is often the practical choice. The North American Deck and Railing Association has free resources comparing material options.
The City of Marina requires a building permit for most deck projects - particularly any deck attached to the home or sitting more than 30 inches above grade. Skipping the permit can complicate your home sale and void your homeowner's insurance on that structure. A licensed contractor handles the application for you as part of the job.
Marina's persistent morning fog - especially heavy from May through August - keeps deck surfaces damp for hours each day. That sustained moisture is ideal for mold and mildew growth, particularly on wood with tight board gaps. Proper board spacing, drainage-friendly surface profiles, and mold-resistant finishes help, but the material choice matters most in this climate.
Much of Marina sits on sandy, loosely packed soil from its coastal dune and former Fort Ord geography. Sandy soil does not grip a footing the way clay or compacted earth does. Footings here often need to go deeper or wider than standard plans call for - and a contractor who does not account for your specific lot can leave you with a deck that shifts or leans after a few winters.
If only a few surface boards are damaged and the frame underneath is solid, repair is usually cost-effective. If the posts, beams, or ledger board show rot or corrosion, a full replacement typically costs less over time than patching a compromised structure. In Marina's coastal climate, structural decay in the frame tends to progress faster than most homeowners expect.

Bounce and creaking usually mean the joist spacing is too wide or the frame connections have weakened. In a coastal climate, this often traces back to corrosion on the hardware. A contractor can assess whether targeted repairs make sense or whether the frame needs to be rebuilt.
If the structure - posts, beams, ledger - is sound, surface repairs can add years to the deck's life. The American Wood Council publishes deck construction guides that outline minimum structural standards, which can help you evaluate what a contractor tells you.
A trustworthy quote itemizes materials and labor separately, names the specific brand and product line for composite, and specifies who pulls the permit. Quotes that are significantly lower than others often mean thinner framing, cheaper hardware, or unlicensed labor.

Marina is a community of about 22,000 people on the edge of Monterey Bay, bordered by Seaside to the south and Castroville to the north. The city grew up around Fort Ord, the large U.S. Army base that operated here from 1917 until its closure in 1994. Most of the older residential neighborhoods in Marina were built during those years to house military families - compact, stucco-clad homes that are now decades old and often in need of exterior maintenance and outdoor upgrades.
Two landmarks define Marina's character today. California State University Monterey Bay opened on the former base grounds in 1994 and has brought new housing development and a more diverse community to the area. The Fort Ord National Monument - now managed by the Bureau of Land Management - covers thousands of acres nearby and is popular for hiking and mountain biking. Whether your home is near the university, in one of the older streets closer to downtown, or in a newer development on the former base land, the coastal conditions are the same: salt air, persistent morning fog, and sandy soil that affects how outdoor structures need to be built.
Marina Deck & Fence has been serving homeowners across Marina since 2017. We know the permit process at the City of Marina, we understand what the soil near the dunes requires for proper deck footings, and we have built on both sides of town - from the neighborhoods closest to Marina State Beach to the streets near CSUMB. If you are ready to add a deck, replace a fence, or build a covered outdoor area, we would be glad to come take a look.
