Decking Services FAQs

How long does deck construction take?

A ground-level deck typically takes 1–2 weeks from permit approval to completion. Multi-level or custom decks with built-in features can take 3–6 weeks. Permit timelines vary by county and can add 1–4 weeks before construction begins.

What is the best decking material for Washington homes?

Pressure-treated wood remains the most cost-effective option and holds up well with regular maintenance. Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech, Fiberon) is increasingly popular in Washington because it resists moisture, rot, and mold without annual sealing. Cedar offers natural beauty and moderate durability. Your contractor can help you compare lifespan, maintenance needs, and cost for your specific situation.

How do I maintain my deck?

Wood decks should be cleaned and resealed or restained every 1–3 years depending on sun and moisture exposure. Composite decks require minimal maintenance — cleaning with soap and water seasonally. Inspect fasteners, ledger connections, and railings annually and address loose or rotted components promptly.

Should I choose wood or composite decking?

Wood costs less upfront but requires regular maintenance and is more vulnerable to Washington's moisture. Composite costs more initially but lasts longer with less upkeep — making the total cost of ownership comparable or lower over 20+ years. If low maintenance is a priority, composite is typically the better long-term investment.

Do I need a permit to build a deck in Washington?

Most decks over 30 inches above grade require a building permit in Washington. Ground-level decks under certain square footage thresholds may be exempt, but requirements vary by city and county. Your licensed deck contractor will confirm permit requirements and handle all applications.

How long does a deck last?

Pressure-treated wood decks last 15–25 years with proper maintenance. Cedar lasts 15–20 years. Composite decking systems typically last 25–30+ years. Structural lifespan depends heavily on installation quality, climate exposure, and maintenance frequency.

Can you repair my existing deck instead of replacing it?

Yes — in many cases, targeted repairs are a cost-effective alternative to full replacement. A licensed inspection determines which components are structurally sound and which need replacement. If more than 30–40% of the deck requires replacement, a full rebuild is often more practical and cost-effective long-term.

Can features be added to my existing deck?

Yes. Our deck contractors can add pergolas, built-in seating, planters, lighting, stairs, railing upgrades, and hot tub platforms to existing decks — provided the existing structure can support the added load. A structural assessment is typically the first step.

Our old deck was rotting and unsafe. We got matched with a contractor who assessed it honestly—some areas could be repaired, others needed replacement. He fixed everything properly and finished with new staining. Our deck looks brand new and we feel safe having the grandkids over again.
