OVER 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE FROM COAST TO COAST
Our experience in the building materials industry dates back to 1919, in Lockwood, Missouri. Meek’s has earned the reputation of being a provider of expert services as well as quality building and home improvement merchandise. In 1951 Charles C. Meek Jr. ventured to Northern California and opened the first Meek’s yard on the West Coast, in Redding, California. Expansion continued in both the West and Midwest in the early 1950’s. With the addition of two more stores, one in Chico and the second in Redding, Meek’s grew quickly to become the market leaders. For multiple generations, families have counted on Meek’s to be there when they built or remodeled their homes. With an emphasis on community support, the basic philosophy of the company, “service to our customers, opportunity to our employees,” has never changed since the first yard opened many years ago. Meek’s Lumber & Hardware currently has locations in Redding, Anderson, Chico, Yuba City, Tahoe, Carson City, Vacaville, Rocklin, Martell, Yreka, Meyers, and Gardnerville.

We first began building gardens in California in 1970. In 1982 we moved to Nevada County, California, where we remain today. As a small, family-owned business, our primary focus has been custom residential landscaping. However, we have done both public and commercial jobs, as well as ecological restoration and small scale agricultural and horticultural development. Long ago we determined not to grow our company beyond the point where we, as owners, could not actively participate in field work on a daily basis. This practice allows us to consistently turn out individual, well-crafted projects. Our work continues today on a local and regional basis, from Lake Tahoe to the Pacific. We have an ongoing commitment to improve our craft both technically and aesthetically.

Pressure-treated wood decks typically last between 15 and 25 years with proper maintenance. Factors influencing longevity include local weather conditions, maintenance frequency, wood quality, and usage patterns. Regular sealing provides critical moisture protection, while prompt repairs prevent small issues from causing structural problems. Without proper care, even quality pressure-treated lumber may deteriorate significantly faster.
Most localities require building permits for deck construction, particularly for structures attached to your home or elevated above a certain height. Permit requirements vary significantly between jurisdictions, with costs typically ranging from $50 to $250. Skipping required permits may result in fines, forced removal, or complications when selling your property. Always check with your local building department before beginning construction.
While deck construction occurs year-round in many regions, late spring through early fall typically offers optimal building conditions. However, scheduling during off-peak seasons (late fall or winter) often secures better contractor availability and potentially lower rates. Weather considerations include avoiding periods of excessive rain or freezing temperatures that could complicate concrete work or wood installation.
Newly installed pressure-treated lumber requires a drying period before accepting stain or sealer properly. This waiting period typically ranges from four weeks to three months depending on your climate and the wood's initial moisture content. Testing readiness by sprinkling water on the surface helps determine when the wood will accept treatment—if water beads up, continue waiting; if it absorbs quickly, the deck is ready for staining.
