Decks Restore has built and repaired decks for homeowners across Pierce County for more than a decade. We are licensed and insured deck contractors in Tacoma (WA LIC# CC DECKSRL797P2). We build custom wood decks, composite Trex decks, and pool decks, and we handle deck repair and deck resurfacing. Our crew works in North Tacoma, Proctor, Ruston, the Stadium District, and across the South Sound, and every deck we build is framed and flashed for wet Pacific Northwest winters. Call (253) 677-0290 for a free on-site estimate.
Every custom deck we build in Tacoma starts with an in-person consultation at your property. We measure the space, check sun exposure, drainage, and grade, then walk you through material samples: pressure-treated wood, cedar, redwood, Trex, TimberTech, and a few others depending on the design. From there we handle the permit with the City of Tacoma, the framing, and any structural engineering the plan calls for. Most of the decks we built ten years ago are still holding up through wet winters, and that is the standard we build to. If you want a builder who returns calls and sticks to his quote, call us and ask for Daniel.

Decks Restore LLC is your premier custom deck builder in Tacoma WA for deck installation, deck resurfacing, deck repairs and more.
We are a locally owned decking company and the owner is on your job site, not in a sales office. We build new decks, resurface old ones, repair what can be saved, and build fences when the project calls for one. The crew that walks your property for the quote is the crew that shows up to build. Several of our Google reviews were written by neighbors who hired us after watching a build next door, and that is how most of our work comes in.
We are licensed and insured, and we treat that as the minimum, not the pitch

Choosing specs for a deck gets overwhelming fast. Board width, railing style, stain color, stairs, lighting. After hundreds of projects we know which questions matter, so the first one we ask is how you plan to use the space. A deck for hosting twenty people at a barbecue gets framed and laid out differently than a quiet spot for morning coffee. Those answers drive the design, the materials, and the price. And because we are owner operated, the person who designs your deck is the person who builds it. We do not subcontract the work or hand you off to a salesperson.

Most deck repair calls we get in Tacoma are for the same handful of problems: soft or rotted boards, a railing that wobbles, stairs pulling away from the deck, or a ledger board that was never flashed and let water into the rim joist. We fix all of it. Board replacement, joist sistering, ledger re-flashing, railing and stair rebuilds, and post base repairs. If the frame is sound we repair rather than replace, and we will tell you plainly if it is not. We handle deck repair across Tacoma, and we also take repair jobs in Renton, Bellevue, and nearby cities when the schedule allows.
If you already have a deck in Tacoma, you might be thinking that it is time for a new one. The good news is that you now have other options besides replacement. For decks that are still sound structurally but that have weathered or grayed, deck resurfacing might be an option. This process involves stripping the surface, making minor repairs, and then applying a new sealant.
Deck resurfacing can make your deck look new without the need for a complete replacement. When you are having your deck resurfaced, it is also a good time to add any new features you want, like flowerboxes or an outdoor kitchen. A new deck or deck resurfacing is an excellent way to get the most from your backyard space.
We install Trex, TimberTech, Fiberon, and Deckorators composite decking systems. In a climate this wet, composite earns its price. The boards do not need sanding, staining, or sealing, and they resist the mold and mildew that show up on wood decks here by February. When we build a composite deck in Tacoma we handle the full job: tear-out of the old deck, inspection of the substructure, hidden fasteners, color-matched fascia, and finish trim. If the existing frame will not carry the extra weight of composite boards, we add posts and beams before a single board goes down. Ask about Trex Transcend, Trex Enhance, and TimberTech AZEK lines during your consultation.
If you want real timber, we build with pressure-treated pine, Western red cedar, redwood, and hardwoods like Ipe and Cumaru. Wood costs less upfront than composite, and plenty of our customers prefer how it looks and feels underfoot. The trade is maintenance: plan on cleaning and re-sealing every two to three years here. When we build a wood deck we get the details right, because the details are what decide how long it lasts in this climate. Correct joist spacing, stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners, flashing at the ledger and posts, and a finish coat applied only after the lumber has dried enough to take it.
If your pool deck is cracked, slippery, or simply outdated, our pool deck resurfacing service in Tacoma can completely transform it without a full tear-out. We resurface concrete pool decks with slip-resistant, cool-to-the-touch overlays, decorative stamped concrete, porcelain pavers, and travertine. Most pool deck resurfacing jobs in Tacoma take 3 to 7 days and cost a fraction of full replacement. Our team specializes in:
Whether you have an in-ground pool in North Tacoma or a spa surround in Gig Harbor, our pool deck resurfacing experts will give you a free assessment and a written quote.

This page was written and reviewed by Danu Rotari, owner of Decks Restore. Most customers know him as Daniel. He has built decks across Tacoma, Pierce County, and the South Sound for more than a decade and holds Washington State Contractor License CC DECKSRL797P2. He quotes every project himself, walks active job sites, and signs off on the work before final payment. His specialties are composite decks, pool deck resurfacing, and elevated builds that need engineering.
Most decks in Tacoma cost between $30 and $85 per square foot installed, depending on materials. A typical 300 sq ft pressure-treated wood deck runs $9,000–$13,500, while a 300 sq ft Trex composite deck runs $14,000–$20,000. We provide written, itemized quotes with no hidden fees.
A standard single-level deck takes 5–10 working days from demo to final cleanup. Larger multi-level decks, decks requiring engineered footings, or decks with pergolas and built-in features can take 2–4 weeks. We commit to a written timeline in every contract.
Yes. The City of Tacoma requires a building permit for any deck more than 30 inches above grade or attached to the home. Decks Restore pulls all permits on your behalf and coordinates inspections.
For Tacoma’s wet Pacific Northwest climate, composite decking (Trex, TimberTech) typically offers better long-term value — no annual sealing, no rot, no splintering, and a 25–50 year warranty. Wood decking has a lower upfront cost and a more natural look but requires staining or sealing every 2–3 years.
Both. We handle deck repair in Tacoma including board replacement, joist sistering, ledger re-flashing, railing repairs, stair repairs, and full deck resurfacing over a sound substructure.
Yes. We resurface concrete pool decks with slip-resistant overlays, install porcelain pavers and travertine over existing pool decks, and handle crack repair, leveling, and drainage correction.

The sticker price is only half the story. Labor runs about the same whether we install wood or composite. The difference is materials, since composite boards cost 3 to 4 times more than standard lumber. Brands like Deckorators and TimberTech make their boards from wood-plastic blends or solid PVC and back them with warranties of 25 years or more, which is why they hold up through Tacoma winters without rot.
Then there is upkeep. A wood deck here needs cleaning and re-sealing every two to three years, and $1,200 per treatment is a realistic budget if you hire it out. Over fifteen years those treatments close most of the original price gap. Composite skips that cycle. You wash it off in spring and you are done.
On resale, buyers around Pierce County read a well-kept composite deck as a finished feature because it still looks right in year ten. A wood deck that missed a few sealing cycles reads as a project they are inheriting. Both add value. Composite holds it longer with less work from you.
