Hermosa Beach Deck & Fence brings custom deck design, composite and wood decking, rooftop deck work, and fencing to Manhattan Beach homeowners, with material choices and permit knowledge matched to the demands of this specific coastal city.

Manhattan Beach lots in the Sand Section run as narrow as 27 feet, and homes on the Hill have very different setback and grade situations. We design custom decks around your exact lot constraints, whether you are working with a tight footprint near the Pier or a larger yard up on the Hill.
The Pacific Ocean is visible from most streets in Manhattan Beach, and salt air is present everywhere in the city year-round. Composite boards resist corrosion, UV fading, and moisture in a way that natural wood simply cannot match in a front-line coastal environment like this one.
Manhattan Beach custom homes frequently include pools, and the deck surface around a pool takes constant water and UV exposure on top of the existing salt air environment. We build pool decks with slip-resistant surfaces and materials that stay stable through the wet-dry cycles of coastal outdoor living.
Original beach cottages in the Sand Section and older Tree Section homes often have decks that predate current building codes. We assess the structural condition honestly and tell you whether targeted repairs extend the deck's useful life or whether a full replacement is the safer path.
In a city where lots are small and homes sit close together, a solid fence line creates privacy and defines outdoor living space. We build wood privacy fences using species and finishes that hold up to the coastal climate without requiring constant upkeep.
June Gloom can stretch from May into July in Manhattan Beach, and a patio cover keeps your outdoor space usable even when the marine layer sits low all morning. We build covers that integrate with existing deck structures and comply with local height and setback rules.
Manhattan Beach is one of the most expensive residential markets in California, and homeowners here expect work that matches the quality of their investment. At the same time, the coastal environment creates real engineering challenges. Salt air accelerates corrosion on metal fasteners, gutters, and railing systems. The marine layer keeps surfaces damp, which invites rot and mildew on wood structures. Santa Ana winds in the fall can dry out and crack exterior finishes that were sealed the previous spring. A contractor working here needs to account for all of that in every material and fastener specification.
Manhattan Beach also processes a high volume of building permits relative to its size, and the Manhattan Beach Building and Safety Division has specific requirements for decks, railings, and structural connections on lots with grade changes, tight setbacks, and rooftop applications. Getting a permit approved without corrections requires submitting complete, code-compliant plans the first time.
Our crew works throughout Manhattan Beach regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect deck building work here. We have worked on original beach cottages in the Sand Section where the lot is 27 feet wide and the neighbor's wall is three feet away, and we have worked on larger Hill Section properties where grade changes require engineered footings and multi-level framing.
Whether the job is near the Manhattan Beach Pier in the Sand Section, up in the Tree Section along those quieter residential streets, or on the Hill with broader views and larger yards, we know what to expect before we arrive. Staging materials on a narrow Sand Section lot is a different challenge than working on a standard suburban driveway, and we plan accordingly.
We also serve neighboring Hermosa Beach to the south and Redondo Beach further south, applying the same coastal-specific approach across all three beach cities.

(424) 544-0344Manhattan Beach is a coastal city of about 35,000 residents covering just under 4 square miles in the South Bay area of Los Angeles County. It sits directly on the Pacific Ocean and is home to some of the most expensive real estate in California. The city has three well-known neighborhoods that locals refer to by name: the Sand Section closest to the beach, with its famously narrow 27-foot lots and compact stucco homes; the Tree Section in the middle, known for its tree-lined streets and a mix of older bungalows and newer custom builds; and the Hill Section further inland, with larger lots and homes that often have ocean views from the upper floors.
The Manhattan Beach Pier at the foot of Manhattan Beach Boulevard is the city's defining landmark. The Strand paved path runs the length of the beach, and homes directly on The Strand are among the most valuable in the South Bay. The city hosts the well-known AVP beach volleyball tournament each summer and has a strong identity around beach sports and outdoor living. Neighboring Hermosa Beach to the south shares a similar coastal character, and both cities draw from the same pool of homeowners who expect outdoor structures that hold up to the coastal environment.
