California builds high and lives higher, but South Coast Deck Inspections keeps gravity in check. This year, the state’s trusted guardians of wood and weight earned a well-deserved nomination for Best Balcony and Deck Inspection Company of 2025. Frankly, the surprise isn’t that they got nominated—it’s that it took this long. While others stare at sunsets, they check the bolts. They don’t guess. They know. In a land of tremors and tall views, they keep wood, steel, and sleep solid.
This family-run business is making a big impact across Southern California. They help building owners follow the law and stay safe. Laws like SB 326 and SB 721 require deck inspections for certain buildings. These laws were made to keep people safe after tragic accidents. And South Coast Deck Inspections takes that mission seriously.
They check wooden decks, balconies, walkways, stairs, and more. If it’s holding weight, they inspect it. If it looks like it might fall, they find out why. And if something needs fixing, they explain what’s next. They don’t scare you—they support you.
You can find them working in counties from the beach to the desert. Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Ventura, Riverside, Kern, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Imperial, and San Bernardino—all of them. Each place has its own weather and wear. They know what to look for in each area. And they bring the same care to every job.
The company works under Malki Construction, Inc. It’s fully licensed by California. They hold CSLB license #1118042. They’re members of big-name groups like the North American Deck and Railing Association (NADRA), NACHI, and the Apartment Owners Association (AOA). The Better Business Bureau also gives them high marks. They aren’t just certified—they’re trusted.
Right now, time is ticking. The state’s deadline for inspections is December 31st, 2025. That may sound far off, but for building owners, it’s crunch time. Miss that deadline, and it could mean big fines—or worse. That’s why South Coast Deck Inspections is working hard, one building at a time. They’re helping people comply with the law, avoid penalties, and, most of all, stay safe.
Clients who work with them say the same thing: “They made it easy.” Some building owners were confused by the rules. Others didn’t know where to start. But once South Coast Deck Inspections got involved, things made sense. They talk in clear, simple words. They don’t try to sell anything you don’t need. They just give you the facts—and a solid plan.
One of the best things about the company? They listen. If you have questions, they answer. If you feel nervous, they calm you down. Their reports are clear. They don’t bury you in legal talk. They break it down so anyone can understand. They care about the people just as much as the property.
They don’t treat you like a number. They treat you like a neighbor. Because, in many ways, you are. Their business is local. Their values are personal. And they take pride in helping their community stay safe.
Safety isn’t just a checklist for them—it’s a promise. They remember the 2015 Berkeley balcony collapse that killed six students. That awful moment led to the creation of SB 721 and SB 326. South Coast Deck Inspections works every day to make sure that never happens again. They believe no one should fear walking onto their balcony.
Their team is sharp. They train hard. They study the law. They know what termites leave behind. They know the signs of dry rot. And they know what salt air or earthquakes can do to wood. From breezy beaches to dry heat, they know their stuff.
They don’t just inspect and walk away. If they find something wrong, they help you fix it. They work with licensed repair pros who get the job done right. They stick with you until it’s finished.
Clients all over California say the same thing: “These are the people you want.” They’re honest. They’re quick. They care. And in this field, that’s rare.
For a lot of property owners, this law caused stress. But with South Coast Deck Inspections, the fear fades. They turn chaos into calm. They make the hard stuff feel easy.
They’re not flashy. They’re not loud. They just do their work—and do it well. That’s why people respect them. That’s why they’re being honored now.
This nomination? It means something. It’s more than a trophy. It’s a high five to a company that puts people first. That walks the walk. That shows up.
They don’t just inspect decks. They protect families. They help kids play outside safely. They let parents sleep better. They make sure every bolt holds. Every step feels strong. Every balcony is safe.
In a state full of sunshine, hills, and hanging porches, their work matters. And with the 2025 deadline creeping closer, their work matters more than ever.
South Coast Deck Inspections is leading the way, making homes safer and helping owners feel ready. One deck at a time. They don’t just do the job. They set the bar. And now, everyone’s paying attention. Because when it comes to safety, this company delivers—one deck at a time.
