Wooden Deck Construction
Where the ground drops away from the back door, a deck is the sensible answer — you get level living space without trucking in fill or building a wall to hold it.
We build cedar, treated timber and composite decks, from a simple ground-level platform to multi-level structures with stairs and railings. Call (509) 276-6894.
Framing is where a deck is won or lost
Footings go below frost depth and are sized for the load. Ledgers are through-bolted and flashed properly so water cannot run behind and rot the rim joist — that failure is invisible for years and then very expensive. Joist hangers, beam spans and post connections all follow code, and we build to be inspected rather than hoping not to be.
Everything structural is treated lumber whether it is going to be seen or not.
Wood or composite
Cedar looks and feels the part and costs less up front, but it wants cleaning and sealing every year or two to stop it greying and checking in our dry summers. Composite costs more at the start and then essentially asks for a wash and nothing else, and it does not splinter under bare feet.
We install both and we will give you the honest running cost of each rather than steering you to the one with the better margin.
Railings, stairs and the details
Railing choice changes the whole look: cable and glass keep the view, aluminium picket disappears, timber matches the house. Stairs get proper stringers, consistent rise and a graspable handrail. Hidden fasteners give you a clean deck surface with no screw heads in the sightline.
Lighting in the posts and stair risers is easy while it is being built and awkward afterwards, so decide early.
