Cedar Deck Installation

What This Service Involves

Western red cedar is a Northwest native for good reason, offering natural oils that resist decay and insects without chemical treatment. We source quality cedar and install it over a solid, ventilated frame so air can move and boards can dry between our region's frequent rains. Cedar's rich grain and color make it a favorite for homeowners who want authentic, warm-toned decking. With periodic sealing, a cedar deck ages beautifully and stays comfortable underfoot even on sunny summer afternoons.
