Whittwood Construction in Alpine specializes in deck building, patio-cover framing, and residential remodeling from its South Grade Road location in the Alpine Heights corridor. Deck replacements and new-build projects often expose deteriorated supply lines beneath subfloor joists, triggering coordinated replumbing through Tatum Plumbing Co on Woodside Avenue before new framing goes down. Patio covers range from attached solid-roof aluminum structures to open-lattice redwood pergolas engineered for East County San Diego wind loads. Site-prep for elevated decks on Alpine's sloped parcels requires selective tree removal and brush clearance, a scope handled by Bob Wining Tree Service on Carveacre Road before pier footings are drilled. Structural deck projects use pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine or composite decking over 6x6 notched posts with Simpson Strong-Tie post-base connectors and galvanized carriage-bolt ledger attachments per CBC Section 2304.12.2.5.
