Decks and railings built for Northwest weather

We build composite and cedar decks with the stairs, landings and railing planned in from the first sketch, so nothing looks added on later. Tell us how you want to use the space and we will lay out a deck that fits the house and the yard.

How it goes

How a deck project goes

Layout
We measure, talk through how you will use the deck and mark where the stairs and the rail go.
Footings and frame
Footings go in first, then the posts, beams and joists. This is the part that decides how long the deck lasts.
Decking, stairs and rail
Boards go down with clean borders, then the stairs and the railing you picked.
Lighting and walkthrough
Step and post lights if you want them, then we walk the finished deck with you.

Good to know

Questions about decks & railings

Composite or cedar?

Composite costs more up front and needs almost no upkeep: no staining and no splinters. Cedar costs less and looks great, and it needs to be cleaned and sealed every couple of years. We build both and will price both if you are undecided.

Do I need a permit for a deck?

It depends on the height, the size and your city. Low, small, freestanding decks often do not need one. Decks attached to the house or more than 30 inches off the ground usually do. We check the rules for your address and handle the permit when one is needed.

Can you put a roof over the deck?

Yes. We build covered decks and patios, so you can use the space in the wet months too.

Adding a deck as part of an addition or a remodel? Remodeling and additions are powered by Dream Team Construction, so the inside and the outside get planned together. See how that works.
