Decks Restore LLC is a licensed and insured deck builder serving Maple Valley, WA and the surrounding King and Pierce County communities. We build new composite and wood decks, resurface and repair existing structures, and install louvered roofs, acrylic patio covers, porcelain deck pavers and fences.
Every phase of the work, from footings and framing through railing and finish carpentry, is completed by our own crews rather than subcontracted out.
Licensed, insured and locally owned, with every phase of the build handled by our own crews.
Homeowners comparing deck builders in Maple Valley are usually weighing the same three questions: is the contractor properly licensed, will the crew on site be the company they actually hired, and will the finished deck still look right after five Western Washington winters. Decks Restore was built around those answers.
We hold Washington contractor license CC DECKSRL797P2 and carry full liability and workers’ compensation coverage. Our teams have been building outdoor living spaces in the South Sound for more than two decades, and as a custom deck builder we design each project around the lot it sits on rather than reusing a standard plan. A walkout deck on a sloped Maple Valley lot off SR-169 needs different post spacing, drainage and stair geometry than a ground-level patio deck behind a Four Corners rambler, and we scope both accordingly.
Our finished projects consistently change how clients use their homes. Whatever the size or complexity of the job, choosing Decks Restore means working with a team that measures twice, documents the plan before anyone picks up a saw, and leaves behind a structure built to last rather than built to pass.
From a new composite deck near Lake Wilderness to a rebuilt covered porch in Covington, we handle every stage in house. No subcontracted framing, no handoffs between trades, and no finger pointing when a detail needs attention.
We build new decks in Maple Valley from the footings up, sizing the structure to your lot, your slope and the way your household actually uses the yard. Framing is engineered to Washington State Residential Code, and you select the walking surface, whether composite, cedar, pressure-treated lumber or porcelain paver, before we order a single board.
When the walking surface has gone soft but the posts and beams remain sound, replacement gives you a new deck without paying for a full teardown. We strip the old boards, inspect every joist, sister or swap whatever has failed, and lay a surface that sits dead level for decades.
Maple Valley rain grays out even a well-built deck after a handful of seasons. When the structure underneath still checks out, we strip the weathered surface, address the small repairs it has collected along the way, and install a new one. It is also the natural moment to add deck lighting, upgraded railing or built-in benches.
Loose railings, springy boards and rot where the deck meets the house are the three calls we take most often from Maple Valley homeowners. We trace each problem to its cause rather than patching over it, whether that is failed flashing, undersized fasteners or a compromised joist, and repair it so the fix holds. Most jobs wrap in a day or two.
Surfaces around pools and spas take constant moisture, chlorine and bare-foot traffic, which is why we resurface them with slip-resistant porcelain pavers or capped composite rather than standard lumber. We correct drainage falls, rebuild transitions at coping and steps, and specify a surface that stays cool underfoot and does not splinter.
A covered porch earns its keep in a region that sees rain most of the year. We build front and back porches with proper roof framing, real drainage and trim details that read as original to the house rather than something bolted on afterward.
Trex is the material we recommend most often to Maple Valley homeowners, for a straightforward reason: it will not splinter, cup or cost you a weekend of staining every spring. We install the full Trex line, along with other capped composite systems, using hidden fasteners and clean picture-frame borders.
A motorized louvered roof gives you adjustable sun, shade and rain control over a deck, patio, outdoor kitchen or spa area. The aluminum louvers rotate closed to shed rain through an integrated gutter system and open to let light in on a clear afternoon. Units can be free-standing or attached to the house, with optional fans, accent lighting, retractable screens and smartphone control.
An acrylic patio cover protects your outdoor space from rain and UV without the gloom of a solid wood cover. The panels are naturally UV stable, filter harsh light while distributing it evenly, and retain roughly 90 percent light transmission and clarity over a 30-year service life. For homeowners who want a usable patio through the wet months without giving up daylight, it is the most practical cover we install.
Our 2 cm porcelain pavers are engineered for outdoor use on decks, patios, rooftops, walkways and pool surrounds. They deliver slip resistance and dimensional stability that natural stone and wood cannot match, and they are available in natural stone, concrete, terrazzo and wood-look finishes. Because the system is low maintenance and freeze-thaw stable, it suits Maple Valley’s wet winters particularly well.
We build standard and fully custom fencing for residential and commercial properties, from cedar privacy fencing and horizontal slat designs to gates and post repairs on an existing run. Every fence is laid out for correct post depth and property-line clearance, and we provide free in-person consultations before any work is scheduled.
Restoration is the full reset for a deck that has been neglected rather than simply weathered. We address the structural issues first, replace what has failed, renew the walking surface and railings, and bring the whole structure back to a condition that passes inspection and looks the way it did when it was new.
With so many options available, specifying a deck can feel overwhelming. Our role is to guide you through the design decisions from first measurement to final walkthrough. We have served hundreds of customers across Maple Valley and the surrounding area, and we know which questions need answering before a quote means anything.
Washington contractor license CC DECKSRL797P2, with liability and workers’ compensation coverage on every job. Documentation is available on request before work begins.
The team that frames your deck is the team that finishes it. We do not subcontract structural work, which is why there is one point of contact from the first measurement to the final sweep.
We prepare drawings, handle submittals and meet inspectors on site, including projects that require engineering documentation other contractors were unwilling to produce.
You see material specifications and scope in writing before work begins, which is how we keep change orders rare and hand you a fixed price before a single board gets cut.
Clients consistently cite communication, schedule reliability and finish quality. Several came to us after receiving quotes at double our price for lower-grade material.
We have been building in Western Washington long enough to know exactly what eight damp months a year does to a deck that was put in cheaply. That experience is what you are really hiring.
Material choice is the single largest decision in a deck project, and in our climate it carries more weight than it does in drier parts of the country. The comparison below reflects what we see on service calls across Maple Valley and the surrounding communities.
| Factor | Composite Decking | Conventional Wood Decking |
|---|---|---|
| Durability | Highly resilient. Resists weather, moisture, insects, splitting and warping. | Vulnerable to moisture, insects and splitting. Prone to warping and cupping. |
| Maintenance | Minimal upkeep. No sanding, staining or sealing required. | Requires regular refinishing, staining and protective treatment. |
| Appearance | Contemporary and uniform, with varied colorways that mimic real wood grain. | Classic natural character, but needs ongoing care to retain it. |
| Safety | Scratch and moisture resistant, pest resistant and splinter-free. Safer for children and pets. | May splinter, rot and attract insects. Less forgiving underfoot. |
| Environmental Impact | Manufactured from sustainable and recycled material streams. | Upkeep relies on chemical stains and sealants. |
| Lifespan And Warranty | Typically 25 to 50 years, with 25 to 30 year manufacturer warranties common. | Typically 10 to 20 years. |
Labor costs are broadly the same for either material. The difference sits almost entirely in the boards. On average, composite decking runs roughly three to four times the price of standard lumber in the Maple Valley market.
Manufacturers such as Trex and TimberTech engineer their products as wood-plastic composites or fully synthetic boards built to resist moisture, rot and seasonal temperature swings, with warranties frequently running 25 to 30 years.
Budgeting roughly $1,000 to $1,500 every couple of years for staining, sealing and board replacement on a wood deck means the cheaper option can overtake composite well inside its service life.
The material we install most often in Maple Valley, and the weather is the entire reason.
Composite is the material we install most often in Maple Valley, and the weather is the entire reason. Western Washington hands a wood deck the better part of eight damp months a year, which is how boards end up cupped, splintered and gray long before the framing underneath has given up on anything.
Composite does not absorb water the way timber does. It stays flat, holds its color through wet winters and bright August afternoons, and never asks for a weekend of sanding and staining. We install the full range, from entry-level boards through capped lines such as Trex Transcend, and we build them the way the manufacturer intends: hidden fasteners so no screw heads interrupt the surface, picture-frame borders at the perimeter, joist spacing matched to the specific product, and correct flashing where the deck meets the house so water runs off instead of in.
Those details separate a composite deck that still looks new in year twelve from one that voids its warranty in year three. As composite deck builders we specify the substructure first, because a premium board installed over joists spaced for a different product will telegraph every flaw underneath it.
Cedar and pressure-treated decks, detailed to survive a Western Washington winter.
Wood still earns its place on plenty of Maple Valley properties. Western red cedar remains the most popular choice for homeowners who want natural grain, a warmer underfoot feel and a lower material cost at the outset. Pressure-treated fir and hemlock remain the practical option for large decks, substructures and projects where budget governs the specification.
As wood deck builders our approach is to compensate for the material’s weaknesses in construction rather than hope the finish covers them. That means ventilated substructures that let the underside dry, stainless or coated hardware that will not corrode and streak, joist tape over every framing member to keep standing water out of the fastener holes, and board spacing set for our humidity rather than a national default.
We will also tell you honestly when wood is the wrong call. A low deck with poor ground clearance in a shaded Maple Valley yard will struggle no matter how well it is built, and in those situations composite or porcelain paver is the better long-term investment.
Not every deck needs replacing. When the framing underneath is still sound, resurfacing and targeted repair deliver the same result for a fraction of the cost of a rebuild.
The better value whenever the framing underneath is still sound.
If you already own a deck in Maple Valley, you may assume replacement is the only route. Often it is not. When the framing is still structurally sound but the surface has weathered, faded or grayed, deck resurfacing is usually the better value. The process involves removing the existing deck boards and railing, preparing and repairing the substructure, and installing a new walking surface and railing system.
Resurfacing also opens a convenient window for upgrades: built-in planters, cable or glass railing, recessed stair lighting, or an outdoor kitchen footprint.
We trace every failure to its cause before we quote the fix.
Every repair begins with a diagnosis rather than an estimate. We identify what caused the failure, correct the underlying condition, and then repair the visible damage so the same problem does not return in two seasons. If a deck has passed the point where repair makes financial sense, we will say so plainly instead of selling you the work.
Slip-resistant surfaces engineered for constant moisture, chlorine and bare-foot traffic.
Pool and spa surrounds fail faster than ordinary decks because they face constant moisture from above and below, chemical exposure, and heavy bare-foot traffic. Pool deck resurfacing replaces that worn surface with a material built for the conditions, without disturbing a sound substructure.
For pool deck resurfacing in Maple Valley we typically specify 2 cm porcelain pavers or capped composite. Porcelain delivers high slip resistance when wet, stays cooler underfoot than dark composite in direct sun, and is unaffected by chlorine or salt systems. Capped composite is the lighter-weight option for elevated spa decks and sauna surrounds where structural load matters.
The work includes correcting drainage falls so water moves away from the pool shell, rebuilding transitions at coping and step treads, and sealing any penetration points where water has been reaching the framing.
Three recent transformations completed for homeowners in Maple Valley and the surrounding South King County communities.
Most residential deck projects in Maple Valley require a building permit, and experienced deck contractors should handle that process rather than leaving it with the homeowner. As a general rule in Washington, a deck attached to a dwelling, or one with a walking surface more than 30 inches above adjacent grade, requires permitting and inspection. Guards are typically required at that same 30-inch threshold, at a minimum height of 36 inches for residential construction.
We prepare the drawings, submit the application, coordinate engineering when a project calls for it, and meet inspectors on site. We have carried projects through permitting in jurisdictions with demanding documentation requirements, including cases where other contractors were unwilling or unable to produce what the city asked for.
There is no honest flat rate for a deck, because the structure underneath drives the number as much as the surface on top. These are the variables that move a Maple Valley quote the most:
We quote every project after an on-site measurement, and the quote is itemized so you can see exactly where the money is going and adjust the specification before committing. Estimates are free and there is no obligation attached to them.
Four steps from first phone call to the final walkthrough of your finished deck.
Call us or submit the quote form and we will schedule an on-site appointment. During that visit we measure, assess the site conditions, and walk you through the options that fit your property and budget.
You receive an itemized written quote covering scope, materials and timeline. Nothing proceeds until you have reviewed it and agreed to the terms, which is how we keep surprises off the job.
We bring physical samples and help you settle the decking line, color, railing system and board layout so the finished deck matches your home rather than fighting it.
Our crew builds, cleans up and walks the completed project with you, backed by the manufacturer warranty on the materials we installed.

Cost depends on size, height above grade, decking material and railing system. Labor is comparable between materials, but composite boards typically cost three to four times more than standard lumber. Because the substructure drives a large share of the price, an accurate figure requires an on-site measurement, which we provide at no charge.
Composite is the better long-term choice for most Maple Valley properties. Our wet climate causes wood to cup, splinter and gray, and staining and sealing a wood deck typically costs $1,000 to $1,500 every couple of years. Composite carries a higher upfront material cost but lasts 25 to 50 years with minimal upkeep. Cedar remains a reasonable option for homeowners who prefer natural grain and accept the maintenance cycle.
Yes, if the framing is structurally sound. When posts, beams, joists and footings are in good condition and the deck layout still works for you, resurfacing replaces the walking surface and railing at a fraction of the cost of a rebuild. We inspect the substructure before quoting so you know which option your deck actually qualifies for.
Most attached decks and any deck with a walking surface more than 30 inches above grade require a building permit in Washington. We prepare drawings, handle the submittal, arrange engineering where required and meet inspectors on site. Confirm current requirements with the City of Maple Valley Permit Center, as local amendments do change.
Most residential deck builds and resurfacing projects are completed within one to two weeks of on-site work once materials arrive. Deck repairs typically take one to two days. Permitting, when required, is handled before the build begins and runs on the jurisdiction’s own timeline.
Yes. A significant share of our repair work involves finishing or correcting projects started by other companies. We diagnose the cause of the failure, explain what we found, and quote only the work needed to resolve it.
Pool deck resurfacing replaces the worn surface around a pool or spa with a material built for constant moisture and bare-foot traffic, usually 2 cm porcelain paver or capped composite. It also addresses drainage falls and the transitions at coping and steps, which are the points where water most often reaches the framing.
Yes. Decks Restore LLC holds Washington contractor license CC DECKSRL797P2 and carries liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Documentation is available on request before work begins.
