Our Story

Framing, flashing, and what actually holds a deck up

We build and repair decks for homeowners around Shoreline, from full replacements to a handful of rotted boards. Most of what we know came from crawling under decks other people built and seeing what failed first. That's usually the ledger board, a footing that never made it below the frost line, or joists spaced wider than they should have been.

If you're on this page, something on your deck probably feels off, a step that flexes, a railing with give in it, or boards that stay damp longer than they used to. We pull up the decking and check the frame before we decide whether this is a repair or a rebuild. A deck that looks fine on top can still be sitting on a joist that's soft enough to push a screwdriver into.

Why Choose Us

What you get when you hire us

None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.

Licensed & Insured

You won't have to wonder what happens if something goes wrong on the job. We carry the coverage a deck build calls for and can send proof before we start.

Permits Handled

Deck height, guard rail spacing and footing depth all get checked by the city, and we deal with that paperwork instead of leaving it to you. Skipping it is how homeowners end up with a deck they can't sell without fixing first.

Clean Job Site

Deck demolition throws nails and screws everywhere, and we go over the yard with a magnetic sweeper before we leave each day. You shouldn't find a fastener in your foot three weeks later.

Written Quotes

The quote spells out decking material, hardware and square footage instead of one lump sum. If we hit something unexpected under the old deck, we tell you before we keep going, not after.

Our Own Crew

We don't hand your project off to a rotating set of subcontractors. The crew that frames it is the crew that finishes it.

Local to Shoreline

Clay soil and heavy winter rain move footings and rot ledger boards differently than they would in a dry climate. Building for this area, not a generic spec sheet, is most of the job.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about how we work and who's doing the job.

How long have you been building decks?
Deck construction and repair make up the core focus of this work, built on hands-on experience with framing, footings and finish carpentry. That focus stays specific to decks rather than spreading across every type of home project.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
The same crew typically handles a deck project from framing through the final board, rather than switching subcontractors partway through. That keeps one set of hands accountable for the whole deck build.
Can I see photos of decks you've built before?
Photos of past deck installations and repairs are available on request, including examples close to a particular style or size being considered. Reviewing similar work beforehand is a reasonable step before committing to a design.
Why choose a smaller deck builder instead of a large contractor?
A smaller deck-building operation means direct contact with the people actually doing the framing and finish work, instead of a sales rep and a rotating crew. Decisions about material or design changes can happen on site rather than through several layers of scheduling.
Where are you based?
This deck-building business is based in Shoreline, Washington, with most projects concentrated in Shoreline and the surrounding towns north of Seattle.
How far out are you usually booked?
Booking availability for deck installation and replacement varies by season, with spring and summer filling up faster. Smaller deck repairs generally have more flexibility in scheduling than a full new build.
Do you clean up the site after a deck project?
Old decking, cutoffs and packaging get hauled away at the end of a deck project, and the yard gets swept for loose screws and nails before crews leave. A finished deck project shouldn't leave debris behind for the homeowner to deal with.
What happens if something gets damaged on my property during the work?
Liability insurance covers accidental property damage that happens during a deck project, which is part of why licensing and insurance matter when hiring a deck contractor. Documentation and proof of coverage can be shown ahead of a job starting.
Will you finish a deck that another contractor started or abandoned?
Picking up a partially built deck is possible, starting with an inspection of whatever framing and footings are already in place. Framing that doesn't meet code or isn't structurally sound gets redone rather than built over.
How can I tell if deck work is being done correctly?
Proper ledger flashing, joist hangers rated for the load, footings set below the frost line, and baluster spacing under four inches are all details worth checking on a finished deck. Asking to see these details during construction, not just at the end, is a reasonable way to confirm the work is solid.
