Deck Construction

What This Service Involves

We build ground-up decks engineered for Western Washington's wet climate, from footing layout through railings and finish details. Every structure starts with properly sized concrete footings, code-compliant framing, and a flashed ledger connection that keeps water out of your home. Our crews follow Washington State building code and pull the permits your county requires before the first board goes down. Whether you want a simple platform off the kitchen or a sprawling entertaining space, we size the joists, beams, and hardware for real Northwest loads and longevity.
