Frequently Asked Questions
What materials do you use for deck construction?
We utilize a range of high-quality materials, including natural wood such as cedar or redwood, as well as composite decking. Each material is selected based on durability, maintenance preferences, and desired aesthetics, ensuring the deck complements your space and withstands long-term wear from weather and daily use.
How long does it take to build a deck or patio?
The timeline varies depending on the project’s size, design complexity, and material availability. On average, most deck and patio projects take between two and four weeks to complete. We provide precise scheduling and keep you informed throughout each phase to ensure a smooth and timely construction process.
Do I need a design plan before starting the project?
No, you don’t need a final plan to begin. Our team works closely with you to develop a custom design based on your needs, preferences, and property layout. We’ll guide you through the materials, layouts, and features to create a cohesive and functional outdoor living space.
Are permits required for decks or patios?
Yes, most construction projects require permits to meet local building codes and safety standards. Our team manages the permitting process from start to finish, ensuring that all necessary documents are obtained and that your project is completed in compliance with current construction regulations.
Can you build a deck on uneven ground?
Yes, we specialize in designing and constructing decks on sloped or uneven terrain. Through the use of engineered supports, tiered levels, and strategic planning, we can create a safe and visually appealing deck that maximizes the use of your property’s natural features and elevation.
What is the difference between wood and composite decking?
Wood decking offers a classic, natural appearance but typically requires regular maintenance. Composite decking, made from recycled materials and resins, is more resistant to moisture, insects, and fading, offering a longer-lasting, low-maintenance solution that does not compromise visual appeal or structural integrity.
Do you offer custom features for outdoor spaces?
Yes, we provide a wide range of custom features, including built-in benches, planters, fire pits, and lighting. These elements are integrated into your deck or patio design to enhance comfort, style, and usability, turning your outdoor area into a personalized retreat tailored to your lifestyle.

Testimonials
Ron and his team are the best! We just finished two projects (one interior and one exterior) with Ron we are very happy with how everything turned out. The quality of work and level of detail was excellent and Ron was very communicative with us from start to finish with any questions or concerns we had. Best of all, he was excellent at keeping timelines, even finishing one of our projects early. He and his team were a pleasure to work with and we would most definitely hire him again for our next project - thank you Ron!
Supathorn S.
Working with Centrum Builders, was the best experience I have had. I got other quotes from many contractors but Centrum had good prices and they finished the job in a timely manner. My wife wanted a pool cabana and a outdoor grill area built with a nice fire pit for the kids. I would highly recommend this company for someone who is looking for good quality work!! 10/10 experience
Camron R.
Ron is a pleasure to work with. He considered all of our renovation ideas and offered very useful advice and design choices. His quote was detailed and easy to follow. The renovation was completed on time within the initially estimated timeframe. Ron is very responsive and didn't hesitate to answer any questions. Highly recommend.
Jennifer
Ron is great with communication and helping his clients out. This seems to be a rarity when trying to even get a quote from contractors in the Bay Area. Pricing is good for the work that was needed, as we all have to understand that materials aren't cheap these. I would HIGHLY recommend Ron and Centrum Builders for any project, large or small.
