About Us
Our Story
DAU Construction is a family-owned company based in Cameron Park, California, founded by Drake Ussery, a second-generation contractor with a passion for creating exceptional outdoor living spaces.
Drake is a Christian, and his faith is the foundation for how he operates—guided by integrity, honesty, and a commitment to serving others well. As a husband, father of two, and proud U.S. military veteran, Drake brings discipline, strong values, and a deep sense of responsibility to every project.
At DAU Construction, we are perfectionist-minded by nature. We believe the best results come from high standards, careful execution, and doing what is truly best for the client. From the first conversation to the final detail, our goal is to deliver outdoor spaces that are built to last and exceed expectations.
Our Process
At DAU Construction, we don’t just build decks — we build structures designed to last. We understand exactly why decksand structures fail over time: poor framing practices, improper waterproofing, inadequate fastening, and shortcuts that don’t stand up to weather and wear.
That’s why our approach is different.
We implement specialized building methods that are often intentionally over-engineered, using high-quality materials, precise structural planning, and meticulous attention to detail. Every structure we build is designed to resist the elements, handle heavy use, and remain safe, strong, and beautiful for years to come.
From the foundation to the final finish, we focus on craftsmanship, longevity, and doing things the right way because our clients deserve outdoor spaces built to the highest standard
