OUR DECK INSPECTION DIVISION: SOUTH COAST DECK INSPECTIONS
HELPING APARTMENT AND HOA PROPERTY OWNERS WITH SB 326 & SB 721 INSPECTION COMPLIANCE
ABOUT OUR DECK INSPECTION DIVISION
South Coast Deck Inspections: A Division of Malki Construction
South Coast Deck Inspections is a division of Malki Construction. We inspect and evaluate the safety of decks, balconies, stairs, and walkways at apartments, multifamily homes, and HOA properties. California laws such as SB 721 and SB 326 now require regular inspections of load-bearing exterior structures. As a result, owners and managers need experts who can keep them compliant and protect their buildings.
Our team draws on more than 30 years of Malki Construction experience. That background helps us spot safety hazards, structural issues, and other problems that shorten the life of decks and exterior elevated elements. In the end, our goal is clear, actionable reports that help clients protect their property value and their residents.

Expertise in California Deck Inspection Compliance
California’s SB 721 and SB 326 require regular inspections of exterior elevated elements (EEEs), such as decks, balconies, and stairways. Lawmakers passed these rules after high-profile balcony collapses. Since then, safety and structural strength have become a top focus. Owners and HOAs must comply to avoid penalties, liability, and costly repairs later.
So, what is the difference in SB 326 vs SB 721? In short, SB 721 covers apartment buildings, while SB 326 covers condo and HOA properties. Our team knows the specific rules of each law. We inspect every exterior load-bearing structure for damage, wear, and structural defects. We also handle the first inspection, any repairs, and any follow-up inspections that may be required.
The Importance of Preventive Maintenance
Besides the required inspections, South Coast Deck Inspections stresses preventive maintenance for exterior elevated structures. When owners find issues early, they avoid larger and costlier repairs later. In addition, regular inspections and upkeep keep properties compliant and protect their long-term value and safety.
Wood rot, rusted metal connectors, and moisture damage are some of the most common problems we find. If no one fixes them, they can seriously weaken the structure and put residents at risk. However, regular inspections catch these problems early. Then owners can repair and reinforce their decks, balconies, and walkways before failure.
Seamless, Professional Service
At South Coast Deck Inspections, we take pride in a smooth experience from start to finish. Our team works efficiently to limit disruption for residents while keeping safety and quality high. We also know how much good relationships between owners, managers, and residents matter. That is why we communicate clearly throughout the inspection and repair process.
Do you need a first inspection to meet California law, or ongoing maintenance to keep your property safe? Either way, South Coast Deck Inspections is dedicated to results that exceed expectations. Our experienced team protects the safety of exterior elevated structures with expert guidance, detailed reports, and reliable repairs when needed.
Detailed Inspections for All Exterior Elevated Elements
Our main focus is detailed assessments of all exterior elevated elements (EEEs). These include decks, balconies, walkways, stairways, and other load-bearing structures. Over time, weather, moisture, and constant use can weaken them.
During each inspection, we check every structure for wear, wood rot, moisture intrusion, rusted metal parts, and other safety risks. We also use modern tools, such as infrared cameras and moisture meters, to find hidden issues that a surface check might miss.
Our reports give owners and managers a clear picture of their exterior structures. Each report includes photos, detailed findings, and recommended repairs. Then our team works with clients to rank repairs by urgency, so safety comes first at all times.
Comprehensive Deck and Balcony Restoration Services
As a division of Malki Construction, South Coast Deck Inspections also offers full restoration for any issues we find. If our team spots damage or structural defects, we can move straight from inspection to repair. In short, property owners get a one-stop solution.
Our restoration services include repairing or replacing damaged wood, reinforcing load-bearing structures, installing moisture barriers, and adding waterproofing to prevent future damage. As a result, we fix issues promptly, and owners avoid downtime and the hassle of hiring several contractors.
