Outdoor Living
Outdoor living spaces built for Seattle
Decks, patios, covered outdoor rooms, and pergolas built for Seattle weather — designed to extend your home's living space outside.
5 out of 5 stars
Our backyard was just dead space — a rotting wood deck that wasn't usable in the rain and no real outdoor living to speak of. Marco designed a two-level covered deck with a gas fire pit and cable railing to keep the lake views, and it completely changed how we use the house. We're out there year-round now and it was absolutely worth every penny.
- Composite decks
- Low-maintenance composite decking that holds up to Seattle's wet seasons without the splitting, fading, and annual sealing that wood requires. We build on properly engineered footings with galvanized hardware — the structure underneath is what determines whether a deck lasts 10 years or 30.
- Covered patios & pergolas
- Covered outdoor spaces designed for year-round use in Seattle's climate, from simple pergolas to fully roofed outdoor rooms with lighting and ceiling fans. We design the roof pitch and drainage to keep the space dry and usable in any weather.
- Concrete patios
- Stamped, brushed, and plain concrete poured and finished for low-maintenance outdoor living. Concrete is one of the most durable and cost-effective outdoor surface options and pairs well with a covered structure to create a complete outdoor room.
- Outdoor kitchens
- Built-in grill stations, countertops, and sinks for serious outdoor entertaining. We rough in the gas line, plumbing, and electrical as part of the scope — the outdoor kitchen is planned at the same time as the deck, not added as an afterthought.

Frequently asked questions
Can't find the answer you're looking for? Give us a call .
- Do decks require permits in Seattle?
- Decks above 30 inches from grade or attached to the home typically require permits. We handle permitting as part of our scope.
- What decking materials do you recommend for Seattle?
- Composite decking is our go-to for Seattle's wet climate — it holds up better than wood over time. We can also do hardwood and concrete depending on your preference.
- Can you build a covered outdoor room?
- Yes — covered patios, pergolas, and four-season outdoor rooms are a speciality. Roofed structures may require permits.
- How long does a deck project take?
- A straightforward single-level deck typically takes 2–3 weeks. Multi-level decks, covered structures, or projects with outdoor kitchens run 4–6 weeks. Permit timelines vary and we build those into the schedule.
- What's the best way to protect an outdoor structure from Seattle's rain?
- The two biggest factors are material selection and proper drainage. Composite decking, stainless or powder-coated hardware, proper slope for water runoff, and covered sections where possible all extend the life of any outdoor structure significantly in this climate.
