Expert Design Builders

Zach and his crew at Expert Design Builders did an incredible job on our house. Our project started as a deck project. (Emphasis there on the word 'started' ;) We wanted to strip our cantilevered decks down to the joists to check for rot, replace/shore up any joists showing rot, then rebuild the decks with a wood/style more to our liking. But Zach was so timely and detailed in his contract for the decks that we decided - what the heck! - let's ask for a quote for the fence out front. Then we asked about the patio stairs. And the next thing you know, Expert Design Builders is redoing our decks, fencing, stairs, and painting the entire exterior of our house because of how comfortable and confident we felt in Zach and his team. Here are some things that stood out to us during the project:

Zach & team built an Ipe deck for us up in the Oakland hills, severe downhill slope about 30' off the ground. A couple of others wouldn't do the job, they said it was "too hard" due to the size of the beams. Not Zach! No way, he took on the challenge and built the deck with a smile. (well, mostly!) Seriously, if you want a competent, communicative, hard working, detail-oriented, competitively priced contractor who goes the extra mile to make the customers happy: call Zach at Expert Design.

Zach stuck with us through a tumultuous 5 years of planning, permitting, winter storms and then COVID, helping us build our dream house within our very limited budget.

We are very impressed about Zack’s professionalism and courteous work.

They did a great job on my balcony deck! I watch sunsets from it several nights a week. The cable rails really help me take in the view.
