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.
- Should I build a deck or a patio?
- It mostly comes down to the ground. A deck suits a sloped yard or a door that sits above grade. A concrete patio suits level ground and is one of the most durable, cost-effective outdoor surfaces. Plenty of projects use both, with a covered structure tying them together. We look at the grade and how you want to use the space before recommending either.
- What patio surface holds up best in Seattle?
- Concrete, properly sloped so water runs off instead of pooling. We pour stamped, brushed, and plain finishes; brushed gives the most grip when it's wet. Pairing the patio with a covered section keeps it usable through the rainy months.
- Can you build a covered outdoor room?
- Yes — covered patios, pergolas, and four-season outdoor rooms are a specialty. Roofed structures may require permits.
- How long does an outdoor living project take?
- A concrete patio or a simple pergola is the quickest. Covered outdoor rooms and projects with an outdoor kitchen typically 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.
