Outdoor Living Space Remodels
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.
“It’s been a pleasure working with you, and I can’t wait for you to come over to see the final product of your design! The deck is BEAUTIFUL and has changed my life here in this house! It’s opened up a new way of living here….having guests over to sit outside, etc. So, THANK YOU to you, Jason, and the entire team of wonderful carpenters who built this for me!”
