Signs to watch
Is this you?
The old deck feels spongy
Soft boards you can see; a rotting ledger you can't. The ledger is the one that drops decks.
You've outgrown the concrete pad
A designed deck adds usable square footage at a fraction of an addition's cost.
Maintenance fatigue
If you're done staining every other summer, modern composite has fully earned its price.
Selling the backyard with the house
Outdoor living space consistently ranks in the top-five features PNW buyers pay for.
Your options
Materials for people who've met our weather
Capped composite (Trex, TimberTech) is the Northwest default: no staining, no splinters, no moss farming in the grain. Cedar when budget or feel demands real wood — with the maintenance schedule in writing. Under either: engineered footings below frost line, flashed and bolted ledgers (the failure point on every collapsed deck you've read about), and hidden fasteners standard.
The method
How we do it
- 01
Design and permit
We design to your yard and lifestyle, engineer the structure, and pull the permits — you never stand in a county line.
- 02
Foundation and frame
Footings inspected, framing in ground-contact-rated lumber, ledger flashed like the roof detail it actually is.
- 03
Surface, rails, walkthrough
Decking, railing, lighting if specced — then a hose test on the ledger flashing before final walkthrough. Most decks: 1–3 weeks.
Straight numbers
Deck pricing
Composite decks typically run $60–$110 per square foot built right — most projects land $18,000–$45,000 with railings and stairs. Cedar runs 20–30% less up front and costs the difference back in maintenance by year eight. Design, engineering, and permits included in the number.
Where we do this work
Deck Building: straight answers
Do I need a permit for a deck?
In most WA and OR jurisdictions, yes — anything attached to the house or more than 30 inches off grade. We pull them as part of every project; an unpermitted deck becomes your problem at sale time.
Composite or cedar, really?
Composite for 9 out of 10 clients: the PNW maintenance math is brutal on wood. Cedar when the budget is tight or the feel of real wood is the point — eyes open about the every-other-year care.
Can you build in the rainy season?
Yes — footings and framing don't mind rain, and winter builds mean your deck is ready the first warm Saturday of spring, not ordered then.
