Decks & Fences

Outdoor structures built to endure every PNW season. Composite decks, cedar fences, pergolas — designed for how you actually live.

What We Do

Built for the Outdoors

A deck or fence in the Pacific Northwest needs to handle rain, wind, UV, and moss — and still look good doing it. We build outdoor structures with the right materials, the right fasteners, and the right drainage so they hold up for years, not just seasons.

Cedar privacy fences, board-on-board designs, horizontal slat, lattice top — whatever style fits your property, we build it plumb, level, and solid. Concrete footings, pressure-treated posts, and galvanized hardware are standard on every fence we install.

For decks, we work with both composite and natural wood. We handle everything from footings and framing to railing, stairs, and final stain or seal. If you need a pergola, covered patio, or integrated bench seating, that's all in our wheelhouse.

FAQ

Common Questions

Cedar or composite — which should I choose?+

Cedar looks great and costs less upfront but needs regular maintenance. Composite costs more but lasts longer with almost zero upkeep. We'll help you decide based on your priorities.

Do I need a permit for a deck or fence?+

Depends on your jurisdiction and the scope. We check local codes and pull permits when required — you don't have to deal with it.

How deep do you set fence posts?+

Minimum 24 inches with concrete footings, but we go deeper in soft soil. Every post is plumbed and set to last.
