Soquel Hills CA Ocean View Deck

CLIENT NEEDS

Perched above the Pacific, this mid-century modern home offers incredible ocean views—but its aging deck had become unsafe and in need of a total rebuild. The homeowners envisioned not only restoring safety but also expanding the deck to create a larger outdoor living space where they could fully enjoy their hillside setting.

TALMADGE SOLUTION

To ensure safety and durability, the new deck was structurally engineered and custom designed by our in-house team. Because the home sits on a hillside, the project required strict adherence to county permitting regulations and the use of fire-restricted materials. We selected TimberTech WUI-certified decking paired with CableBullet railing and Redwood accents, achieving a beautiful balance of performance, safety, and mid-century character.

CHALLENGE

Site conditions and accessibility presented significant challenges. Located on a steep slope at the end of a cul-de-sac, the home required careful planning and coordination. Everything from demolition to pier placement demanded precision to ensure safety and structural integrity.

RESULT

The homeowners couldn’t be happier with their new outdoor living space. It’s not only added value to their home but also brought more comfort, joy, and connection to their everyday life.
