A Recent Novara Wood Hardscape in Tiburon
Custom Decks, Pergolas, and Fences Built for Tiburon
Novara is a deck builder serving Tiburon and the Marin peninsula, designing and building custom decks, pergolas, wood fences, and outdoor wood structures for homes across the ridgeline and bay-view lots. A deck contractor in Tiburon is working in a marine climate with coastal wind, moisture, and sun exposure that break down wood that was not specified and finished for it. We select species and fasteners rated for coastal conditions, set every structure on footings sized for the slope and the load, and design each deck, pergola, or fence installation in 3D so it integrates with the patios, walls, and planting rather than sitting on top of the finished landscape as an afterthought.
Wood hardscape structures we build in Tiburon:
- Custom Decks Attached and freestanding decks on properly sized footings for sloped peninsula lots.
- Pergolas Custom pergolas in wood and steel-reinforced wood designed around Tiburon bay views.
- Wood Fences Privacy fences, board-on-board, and custom fence designs finished for coastal exposure.
- Gates and Entries Custom wood gates and entry structures that suit the architecture and hold up to the climate.
- Outdoor Shade Structures Arbors, shade sails, and louvered structures that create covered outdoor living space.
- Wood Retaining Structures Timber retaining walls and garden structures for lower-load slope applications.

On every build
Hiring a deck builder in Tiburon, CA for a premium peninsula home is a different decision than hiring for a standard residential deck. Tiburon homeowners expect wood structures that look like part of the design, not a home improvement add-on, and the coastal conditions on the ridge and the bay side of the peninsula demand materials and finishes that hold up over years rather than seasons. We have built decks, pergolas, and custom wood structures across Tiburon and Marin County since 1998. Every structure starts in 3D so the deck or pergola is designed around the home, the views, and the existing hardscape before a single post goes in the ground. We manage Town of Tiburon permitting for structures that require it, set every footing to the depth the slope and the load demand, and select wood species and fasteners rated for coastal wind and moisture. We hold California C-27 license number 1134876 and back every wood structure with a two-year workmanship warranty.

Tiburon Deck and Wood Hardscape FAQ
What wood hardscape structures do you build in Tiburon?
Custom decks, pergolas, wood fences, gates, arbors, shade structures, and timber retaining walls. We design every structure in 3D to integrate with the existing hardscape and suit the architecture and climate of your Tiburon property.
What wood species hold up best in Tiburon's coastal climate?
Redwood, cedar, and pressure-treated hardwoods all perform well in coastal conditions with proper fasteners and finish. We select the species based on the application, the exposure, and the look the homeowner wants, and we use stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners throughout to resist salt air corrosion.
Do you need a permit for a deck in Tiburon?
Yes, most decks in Tiburon require a permit from the Town of Tiburon, especially when attached to the home or above grade. We assess what is required during the design phase and manage the permitting process so you do not have to.
Can you build a deck on a steep ridgeline lot in Tiburon?
Yes. Many Tiburon homes sit on grades where a ground-level outdoor space is not possible without a raised deck. We set footings to the depth the slope and the load require, engineer the frame for the specific site, and build the deck to be solid for decades, not just a few seasons.
Can a pergola be designed around my Tiburon bay view?
Yes. We design pergolas in 3D with the sightlines mapped before any post goes in the ground, so the structure frames your view rather than blocking it. On peninsula lots with water views, that design decision is the most important one we make.
Do you build wood fences for privacy on tight Tiburon lots?
Yes. Privacy fencing on small premium peninsula lots requires attention to height, style, and neighbor sightlines. We design the fence to give you privacy without making the space feel closed in, and finish it to hold up to the coastal conditions.
How long does a Tiburon deck or pergola take to build?
Most decks and pergolas run two to four weeks depending on size, complexity, and permitting timelines. We give you a clear schedule before any work starts.
