Deck rebuild in Swansboro, just off Buckboard Road.
Almost a year ago, a tree fell on this home and caused extensive damage to the deck and roof structure. After months of engineering, permitting, and back-and-forth with the insurance company, we were finally able to begin rebuilding it.
I want to give a huge shout-out to Mitchell Deacon with Deacon Engineering for putting together the engineered plans for this project. Mitchell was responsive, timely, and great to work with throughout the process. Anyone looking for a knowledgeable and affordable local engineer should definitely give him a call.
I also want to thank Berco Redwood, especially Nate Berry, who I’ve worked with for years. Nate helped us order and coordinate all of the structurally required and WUI-compliant materials needed to complete this project properly.
This deck had vines thicker than some of the posts, a pretty serious hole from the tree impact, and framing that was already beginning to fail. Seeing it transformed into a properly engineered, WUI-compliant deck has been extremely rewarding.
If your home has been damaged and you need a contractor experienced with insurance repairs, engineering requirements, permits, and code-upgrade documentation, feel free to reach out to Cali Construction. We’ll help make sure the full scope of the damage is properly addressed and clearly documented for your insurance company.
