When you call us, you talk to our team - not a dispatcher 400 miles away.

Senior Superintendent Igor
CSLB #1060736 • NADRA & CREIA Member • 15+ Years Experience
"I chose to focus on balcony and deck safety because I've seen what happens when structural issues are ignored. What looks minor today can quickly become a serious liability tomorrow. My mission is simple: protect the people who live in these buildings and protect the long-term value of the property."
With over 15 years in the construction industry and more than 1,000 completed inspections, Igor leads every project at Decks and Balcony. His work centers around SB 721 and SB 326 inspections for apartment complexes, multifamily communities, and condominium associations. But inspections are only the first step - Igor guides property owners through the entire process, from compliance assessment to managing repairs or full reconstruction when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you handle both the inspection and any necessary repairs?
Yes. If the inspection reveals structural issues, dry rot, or other damage, the licensed construction team at Decks and Balcony handles all repairs in-house — from minor fixes to complete balcony reconstruction. One team, one point of contact, one warranty.
How long does the inspection process take?
The timeline varies by property size. A typical multi-family complex can be inspected in 1–3 days. Comprehensive reports are delivered promptly after the inspection is completed. For emergency situations, expedited service is available.
What are the penalties for not complying with SB 721 or SB 326?
Non-compliant properties face civil penalties up to $5,000 per violation, daily fines of $100–$500 from local code enforcement, potential insurance coverage denial, and personal liability exposure for HOA board members. In the event of an injury, failure to inspect can be used as evidence of negligence.
How much does a deck or balcony inspection cost in Sacramento?
Inspection costs depend on the number of units, the type and quantity of exterior elevated elements, and the specific regulatory requirements. Contact Decks and Balcony at (916) 848-2728 for a free, no-obligation estimate tailored to your property.
What is SB 326 and how is it different from SB 721?
SB 326 (Civil Code Section 5551) applies specifically to condominiums and properties managed by homeowners associations. Unlike SB 721, inspections under SB 326 must be performed by a licensed structural engineer, architect, or civil engineer — contractors are not eligible. The deadline was January 1, 2025, and inspections recur every 9 years.
What is SB 721 and does it apply to my property?
SB 721 (California Health & Safety Code Section 17973) requires owners of apartment buildings with 3 or more dwelling units to have exterior elevated elements inspected by a qualified professional. This includes balconies, decks, porches, stairways, and walkways that are more than 6 feet above ground. The first inspection deadline was January 1, 2026, with repeat inspections required every 6 years.
