General contracting expertise for structural decks, additions, and complex builds.
Meet Glen Gruner | Your Local Deck Specialist
I’m Glen Gruner, a third-generation California builder, and I help homeowners plan their projects with MH Builders, the deck contractor serving six Northern California counties. Over decades, I’ve had the privilege of scaling major construction enterprises—including growing my first drywall venture, expanding family businesses nationwide, and delivering retail projects for brands like Verizon, Home Depot, and AT&T.
Today, I bring that lifetime of commercial-grade expertise, craftsmanship, and uncompromised service to your backyard as California's premier deck builder. Whether you need a pool wrap, hillside engineered frame, or customized modern deck materials, I am here to ensure we do the job right.
Let’s build your dream outdoor space together!
Licensed General Contracting for Every County We Serve
Every county we serve — San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, and Monterey — runs its own permit office with its own requirements. As your local deck contractor, we handle each county’s permit process for you. As a CSLB Licensed General Contractor working across all six, we know each office's process, and we bring structural know-how for elevated, hillside, and multi-level decks that go beyond a simple ground-level build.

How to Set Up a Deck Contractor Project
Set Your Budget
Structural decks — elevated or multi-level — run higher than a simple ground-level build. A good deck contractor prices that engineering up front.
Approve the Area
Site survey for grade, drainage, and structural attachment points.
Define Project Scope
Ground-level, elevated, or multi-story deck configuration.
Permit & Engineering
Stamped engineering plans prepared where your county requires them.
Construction & Final Inspection
Built to plan, with county sign-off before handover.
Schedule a Site Assessment With a Licensed Contractor.
Speak directly with our deck contractor team to discuss project requirements, site conditions, framing specifications, and material selections for your property.
