I.OVERVIEW
Composite or Wood. Permitted. View-Ready.
A properly designed and permitted deck extends your livable square footage into South Bay's year-round outdoor climate — and in hillside Palos Verdes and coastal Redondo Beach, a well-executed deck with ocean or city views is a genuine luxury asset. Paragon constructs custom decks in composite (Trex, TimberTech) and pressure-treated wood framing, from permit pull through final inspection. All elevated decks above 30 inches are engineered to LA County structural standards.
II.WHY IT MATTERS
Pressure-treated wood decking is less expensive upfront but requires annual cleaning, sealing, and staining to maintain in coastal conditions — and individual boards split, splinter, and gray over time. Composite decking (Trex Transcend, TimberTech Azek) costs 20–40% more in materials but carries a 25-year stain, fade, and structural warranty and requires nothing beyond periodic washing. For South Bay homes where decks are used year-round, the lifetime cost of composite is typically lower.
Any deck with a walking surface over 30 inches above grade requires a permit and engineer-stamped drawings in LA County jurisdictions. Hillside decks in Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach's Hollywood Riviera, and elevated lots throughout the South Bay must be designed to wind load specifications and soil bearing capacity — not just visual proportions. Paragon coordinates with structural engineers on all elevated deck projects.
In Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach Hollywood Riviera, and Manhattan Beach Hill Section, ocean and city views are the primary driver of property value. Glass railings — tempered or laminated panels in aluminum channel frames — preserve sight lines while meeting code-required 42-inch guardrail height. Cable railing is an alternative that balances view preservation with a more contemporary aesthetic.
