Every deck on this page was built for a specific Seattle lot: a slope that needed stepping, a view that shouldn't be blocked by a railing, a back door that was three feet above grade. The photos show the finished surface, but what actually determines whether a deck is still solid in twenty years is underneath it — footing depth, ledger flashing, joist protection, and hardware that doesn't corrode.

If something here looks close to what you have in mind, the case studies go into what the homeowner wanted, what we found once we opened things up, and how long it took.

Frequently asked questions

Can't find the answer you're looking for? Give us a call .

Can I visit one of these decks before I commit?
In many cases, yes. Several of our past clients are happy to have prospective homeowners walk their deck, and we can usually arrange that in the neighborhood closest to you. If a visit isn't possible we'll bring detailed photos of the framing stage, which tells you far more about build quality than a finished surface does.
How much does a deck like these cost?
The finished surface is rarely the biggest cost driver — height above grade, footing depth, stair count, and railing choice usually matter more. Rather than quote a number that won't match your lot, we walk the site and break the estimate out line by line so you can see exactly which decisions move the price.
Do you only build decks, or the whole outdoor space?
Both. Plenty of these projects included a pergola, a patio, a fire feature, or an outdoor kitchen designed at the same time as the deck rather than added later. Planning them together is what keeps the gas line, drainage, and framing from fighting each other.
