Retaining Walls

Hillside properties throughout Pollock Pines, Placerville, and the Sierra foothills require proper earth retention to prevent erosion, protect foundations, and create usable outdoor space. Wright Carpentry builds retaining walls in timber, concrete block, and natural stone — matched to the terrain and the look of your property.

We assess drainage needs before any wall goes up, because a wall without proper drainage is a wall that will fail. Every retaining wall we build is designed to last.

Deck Repair

Decks in the Sierra foothills take a beating — freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, and moisture all take their toll over time. Warped or cracked decking boards, soft spots underfoot, leaning posts, and rotted ledger boards are all signs your deck needs attention before it becomes a safety issue.

Wright Carpentry assesses your entire deck structure — not just the surface — and repairs what needs fixing. We use quality lumber and hardware rated for outdoor exposure so the repair lasts.

Ian's Specialty

Finish Carpentry & Trim
