Learn MoreReach out by phone or the contact form. We respond within 1 business day - usually the same day. We will ask a few basic questions about your yard and what you are thinking about building, then schedule a free on-site visit at a time that works for you. No commitment required at this stage.
We come to your property, measure the space, look at the slope and soil, and talk through your ideas. You get a written proposal with a clear breakdown of materials, labor, and permit fees - no vague estimates, no hidden line items. We also handle permit submission and HOA documentation if your neighborhood requires it.
Once permits are approved, our crew shows up on schedule and builds your project from footings to finish. A city inspector reviews the framing before boards go down. When the job is complete, we do a final walkthrough with you, hand you the permit sign-off, and leave the site clean. Your outdoor space is ready to use.
We carry a valid CSLB contractor license and general liability insurance on every project. You can verify our license number directly at the California Contractors State License Board website before signing anything.
Every estimate starts with a free visit to your property. We measure, look at your yard conditions, and give you a written quote with a full breakdown. There is no pressure and no fee for the estimate - you decide if it makes sense.
We know San Benito County's clay soils, seismic requirements, and permit process because we work here every week. That local knowledge shows up in how we design footings, choose materials, and schedule projects around the city building department.
We handle permit applications and inspection scheduling from start to finish. Every project closes with a city sign-off in your hands. We stand behind our workmanship and address any issue that comes up after the job is done.

Yes - almost always. The City of Hollister requires a building permit for any deck attached to your home or elevated more than 30 inches. Skipping the permit creates problems when you sell or refinance - unpermitted work can force a costly teardown.
Hollister summers regularly top 95 degrees with strong UV. Untreated wood fades, splinters, and needs resealing every two to three years. A capped composite board resists UV damage, holds its color, and needs almost no maintenance - making the higher upfront cost pay off within a few years.
Many newer Hollister subdivisions - especially those built after 2000 - have HOA design review requirements that are separate from the city permit. Starting both processes at the same time prevents weeks of delay. Check your CC&Rs before your contractor submits anything to the city.
The Calaveras Fault runs through San Benito County, making Hollister one of California's more seismically active cities. A deck attached to your house must use hardware rated for lateral movement - not just vertical load. The California Geological Survey maps seismic hazard zones that directly influence how local contractors design deck connections.
New pressure-treated lumber needs 60 to 90 days to dry before it can absorb a sealant properly. Sealing too early traps moisture in the wood and causes bubbling and peeling. After the first seal, plan to clean and re-seal every two to three years to protect against Hollister's intense sun and the wet-dry seasonal cycle.
San Benito County's clay soils shrink and swell with the seasons. A footing that is not deep enough or wide enough for local soil conditions can shift over time, causing the deck frame to rack and pull apart at the connections. The North American Deck and Railing Association recommends that any contractor in expansive-soil regions account for soil behavior in footing design - not just copy a generic plan.
Master Hollister Deck & Fence is a licensed and insured deck builder company based in Hollister, CA, serving 12 communities across San Benito, Santa Clara, Monterey, and Merced counties since 2020. We hold a valid California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) license - the state-issued credential that allows contractors to legally build decks, fences, and outdoor structures in California. We carry general liability insurance on every project.
Since 2020, we have completed projects across 16 service categories, from custom deck design and build to vinyl fence installation, pergola construction, and outdoor kitchen decks. Every project is permitted, inspected, and completed with a final city sign-off.
Learn more about our companyIf the frame is solid and only the surface boards are worn, a board replacement and seal is almost always the right call. Replacement makes sense when the framing is soft, the posts have shifted, or the railings fail a shake test. A contractor should inspect both before quoting either option.
A deck in the 200 to 400 square foot range fits most residential lots in this area and handles a table, chairs, and a grill comfortably. Smaller lots on the east side of town often work well with a 12 by 16 design. Larger properties toward Tres Pinos or the rural edges of town have room for multi-level builds.
Ask for their CSLB license number, proof of insurance, and confirmation that they pull the permit themselves. Ask to see photos of their framing work before boards went down on past projects. According to the California Contractors State License Board, homeowners can verify any contractor license online before signing a contract.

Hollister is the county seat of San Benito County, a city of about 45,000 residents sitting in a valley surrounded by farmland and rolling hills. It is a predominantly owner-occupied community - most people who live here own their homes and plan to stay, which is why taking care of a property actually matters. Median home values have risen sharply in recent years, and a well-built deck or fence is one of the more straightforward ways to protect that investment.
The city has a distinct character rooted in its outdoor heritage. The annual Hollister Independence Rally - one of the oldest motorcycle events in the country - draws tens of thousands of visitors every July and reflects the community's independent, working-class identity. Hollister Hills State Vehicular Recreation Area just south of town is another anchor for outdoor activity in the region. From the historic downtown district with its older Craftsman bungalows to the newer subdivisions built on the east and south edges of the city, the housing stock varies widely - and so do the project needs we see week to week.
Many Hollister homeowners commute to the San Jose and Silicon Valley area, which means they need a contractor they can trust to show up and do the work right without someone watching over them all day. We work across all of Hollister's neighborhoods - from the older homes near downtown that date to the early 1900s to the newer stucco tracts on the city's edges - and we understand what each type of property typically needs. If you are ready to add outdoor living space, call us and we will come out to take a look.
