At Arla Builders Inc., we build spaces that reflect how you want to live outside — with comfort, function, and style in every square foot.
We take the time to understand your home’s layout, sun patterns, and usage needs to design a deck or patio that enhances your lifestyle — whether it’s a quiet nook for two or a large space for entertaining dozens.
Why Bay Area Homeowners
Trust Arla Builders Inc.
Locally Experienced and Site-Smart
The Bay Area is a beautiful place to live — but it presents unique challenges for outdoor construction, including slopes, soil types, wind, and moisture. Our experienced builders know how to navigate these elements and create safe, stable, and stunning decks and patios that hold up over time.We’ve completed kitchen renovations in homes across San Francisco, Oakland, Walnut Creek, San Mateo, and the surrounding Bay Area. Our team understands regional architectural styles, local permitting, and the practical needs of Bay Area homeowners.
Custom-Built for You — Not Pre-Fab Kits
We don’t install one-size-fits-all decks. Every project is custom-designed to suit your property, home style, and personal preferences. From material choices to railings and lighting, we guide you through each decision for a truly unique result.
Craftsmanship That Lasts
We build for the long term. Our framing is reinforced. Our fasteners are corrosion-resistant. And our finishing details are clean and precise. With Arla Builders Inc., you’re getting more than just a deck — you’re getting peace of mind.
Turnkey Solutions from Start to Finish
From permits and design to site prep, installation, and finishing, we manage every aspect of the job. You won’t need to juggle subcontractors — we handle everything under one roof.
Deck Construction — Strong, Stylish, and Built to Weather the Elements
Build Higher, Live Better
Adding a deck is one of the most rewarding investments you can make in your home. It increases usable square footage and allows you to enjoy your yard from a higher vantage point. Whether it’s a raised deck overlooking a hillside or a ground-level platform that connects seamlessly with your living room, we build decks that feel like a natural extension of your home.
We work with a variety of materials based on your budget, aesthetic goals, and maintenance preferences:
Pressure-treated lumber for cost-effective durability
Cedar and redwood for natural beauty and resistance to rot
Composite decking for low-maintenance performance and long-term savings
Hardwoods like Ipe for luxury builds and striking finishes
In addition to decking boards, we can include custom railings, lighting, pergolas, privacy screens, and built-in seating to enhance both function and ambiance.
Safety, Permits, and Building Codes — We’ve Got It Covered
Outdoor construction requires compliance with local regulations — especially when it comes to decks, railings, setbacks, and hillside structures. Arla Builders Inc. takes care of all the logistics:
Property assessments and measurements
City/county permits and inspections
Engineering support for elevated structures
Code-compliant guardrails and stairs
We make sure your project is not only beautiful, but fully legal, safe, and built to code from day one.
Multi-Level Outdoor Living Spaces
Have a sloped lot? No problem. Many Bay Area homes sit on uneven terrain, which makes multi-level decks and tiered patios a perfect solution. We specialize in building safe, structurally sound platforms that connect different elevations of your yard — with stairs, railings, retaining walls, and planters that bring it all together beautifully.
These dynamic spaces are perfect for:
Outdoor dining areas
Garden terraces
Lounge spaces with firepits
Hot tub platforms
Outdoor kitchens and BBQ zones
We can even combine decks and patios for a layered look that adds value and functionality.
