New upper and lower decks on a hillside cabin

Based in Crestline

This is home. Jobs in town are close by, so site visits and follow-up are easy to fit in.

Licensed contractor

CSLB License #907175 (B). Your project is built by a licensed general contractor, not a handyman.

One crew, start to finish

The same team takes your job from the footings to the final walk-through, so nothing gets dropped and the work gets finished.

Our own equipment

We own our excavator and track loader, so once you accept the estimate we can break ground without waiting on a rental.

Our home base

Building in Crestline since 2007.

Crestline sits at about 4,600 feet around Lake Gregory, where Highway 18 and Highway 138 meet. Billy Blakeman has lived in the San Bernardino Mountains for more than 50 years, and Crestline is where the company is based, about a quarter mile from Lake Gregory and a mile from Goodwin's. In winter, we also do snow removal around Crestline.

Lots here tend to be steep and wooded, and winters bring snow. That shapes how we plan a deck, a retaining wall or an addition, and it's the kind of work we do every week.

Featured job · Crestline

Hillside decks, walls and a kitchen.

This home sits on a steep, wooded lot in Crestline, and the work covered a lot of ground: new decks outside, retaining walls on the hillside and updates inside the house.

Our crew framed new upper and lower decks with wood rails and wire panels. Below them, concrete and block retaining walls hold back the slope, with drain lines and gravel behind them and a level gravel area where the hillside used to be.

Inside, the kitchen was remodeled, and new French doors open from the main room onto the deck.

Deck replacement

Starting over from the footings.

The old deck at this Crestline home was past saving, so it came down and a new one went up in its place.

Our crew poured new concrete piers, framed new beams and joists, and finished the deck with composite decking, wood rails and blue balusters. New stairs come down along the side of the house to the yard.

Inside the house

Kitchens, built-ins and finish work.

Inside, our work runs from full kitchen remodels to custom built-ins made to fit the room.
