Our Google rating is 5.0 across 43 reviews, which we are a little proud of.
Daniel runs the estimates and the design, and the same crew that quotes your job is the one that builds it. We pull city permits when a build needs them. One client came to us after two other contractors backed out of a railing project because the City of Federal Way wanted engineering drawings; we did the drawings, got the permit, and built the deck. That is usually the difference people are looking for when they search “deck builders near me” and actually want someone to show up.
Composite makes sense in this climate. Trex and TimberTech boards shrug off the rain, the moss, and the damp that turn a wood deck gray in a few seasons, and the residential warranties run 25 years and up. We carry samples to your first appointment so you can hold the colors against your siding before you commit, then we build it. Wood is still on the table if that is what you want; we will tell you honestly what each one costs to own.
Sometimes a deck is past saving and the boards are the least of it. We tear the whole thing out and rebuild from the footings, new beams and joists included, not just a fresh surface bolted onto an old frame. A few clients have had us replace an entire structure, footings and all, for less than another company quoted to swap only the decking. Worth getting a second number before you sign anything.
A soft board or a wobbly railing does not mean you need a new deck. If the frame underneath is solid, we replace the bad boards, tighten up the railings and stairs, reseal it, and you get years back out of a deck you already own for a fraction of a rebuild. We look first and tell you which way it falls.
For an older deck that is structurally fine but tired, we clean it, fix what is loose, and refinish it. The color comes back, the grip underfoot comes back, and there is a fresh layer of protection against the next wet winter. Good middle ground when a full replacement is more than the deck needs.
Porcelain pavers are the low-maintenance route for a patio that has to live outdoors year round. The tiles are 2 cm thick, slip-resistant, and non-porous, so rain and foot traffic do not wear them down and they will not rot, warp, fade, or stain. They come in stone, concrete, terrazzo, and wood-look finishes for patios, walkways, rooftops, and around pools. We handle the design and the install.
We specialize in Trex deck installation, offering low-maintenance, high-performance outdoor spaces built with premium composite materials. Our team delivers precise craftsmanship and clean finishes to ensure a durable, long-lasting deck that resists fading, staining, and wear.

A deck has more decisions in it than people expect, so we make that part easy. Before we draw anything, we ask how you plan to use it. A deck built for Saturday barbecues with twenty people on it is a different deck than one built for morning coffee and not much else. Built-in benches, deck lighting, a pool or sauna deck, stair gates, an enclosure underneath for the patio below: those answers set the layout, the materials, and the stain.
We are licensed and insured, and we keep your yard livable while we work instead of leaving it a disaster site for a month. Read the reviews and the same notes keep coming up: people heard back when they had a question, the job finished when we said it would, and the price matched the quality. Karen’s crew built her a deck with a waterproof under-deck so the patio below stayed dry. Hien’s took the time on the permitting with the city. That is the pattern, not the exception.

Loose boards, a spongy spot underfoot, a railing that gives when you lean on it, a stair tread that has gone soft: all repairable, and usually without pulling the whole deck. We check the structure first, because the honest answer sometimes is that the frame is shot and a repair would be throwing money at it. If it is a repair, it is normally faster and cheaper than people brace themselves for. We have been building and fixing decks around Mercer Island, Bellevue, Renton, and Seattle for years, so there is not much we have not seen.
If the bones of your deck are good and only the surface has weathered, replacing the whole thing is overkill. Resurfacing strips the old surface, sorts out minor repairs, swaps any boards that are too far gone, and reseals everything. The deck looks new and you spend a fraction of a rebuild.
It is also the right time to add the stuff you have been putting off. Flower boxes, an outdoor kitchen, better lighting, a built-in bench along the rail. Half the value of resurfacing is that the deck is already torn open, so adding those things costs less now than later.
A wood patio means staining and resealing on a schedule, and Mercer Island winters are not kind to that schedule. Porcelain pavers skip all of it. The 2 cm tiles are tough, they grip when wet, and the surface is non-porous, so moss and rain do not get a foothold and nothing rots, warps, fades, or stains. Pick from natural stone, concrete, terrazzo, or wood-look to match the house, and we take care of the layout and the install. Years on, it still looks like the day it went in.

Composite or wood is the first question almost everyone asks. Both work. The real choice comes down to your budget and how much weekend maintenance you are willing to sign up for. Here is the straight comparison.
| Composite Decking | Conventional Wood Decking | |
| Durability: | Extremely resilient; withstands weather, moisture, pests, splitting, and warping. | Susceptible to environmental damage, insects, and splitting; prone to warping. |
| Maintenance: | Minimal upkeep; no need for sanding, staining, or sealing. | Needs regular refinishing, staining, and protective treatments. |
| Appearance: | Contemporary design with uniform, varied colors resembling real wood. | Classic natural look, but requires care to maintain beauty. |
| Safety: | Scratch-resistant, moisture-resistant, pest-resistant; splinter-free; safer for families. | May splinter, rot, and attract insects; less safe underfoot. |
| Environmental Impact: | Produced using sustainable materials. | Maintenance often involves chemical stains and sealants. |
| Lifespan & Warranty: | Typically lasts 25–50 years. | Generally lasts 10–20 years. |
The number on the quote is only half the story when you are pricing a deck.
Labor lands about the same either way. The gap is the boards. Composite runs three to four times the price of standard lumber, and that is because Trex and TimberTech engineer their boards to take a decade of moisture and seasonal movement, then back them with 25 to 30 year warranties. In a climate this wet, the warranty earns its keep.
Then the upkeep catches up to wood. Budget roughly $1,200 every couple of years to maintain a wood deck and the “cheaper” deck quietly turns into the pricier one. Wood also keeps asking for attention: a new splinter here, a faded patch there, another weekend with the sander. Composite mostly just sits there and stays the same.
Resale runs the same direction. A weathered wood deck can pull down what your home shows for, while composite tends to hold its look and its structure, which is the safer bet if the house ends up sitting on the market a while.
It depends on size, materials, and what your site throws at us. Labor is roughly the same for wood and composite; the boards are where the price splits, with composite running about three to four times the cost of lumber and lasting 25 years or more with barely any upkeep. The only honest number is one we measure for, which is what the free on-site quote is for.
Yes, fully licensed and insured in Washington, license number CC DECKSRL797P2. We pull city permits when a project calls for them, and we can provide engineering drawings when the City asks for them, which we have done before when other contractors would not.
Both. Composite from Trex and TimberTech, or traditional wood. Most people here go composite for the low maintenance and the long warranty, but we will lay out both before you decide.
Usually, yes. If the frame is solid, we swap the bad boards, fix the railings and stairs, and resurface the top for a lot less than a rebuild. We inspect first and tell you straight whether a repair is worth it or whether you would just be patching a deck that is done.
It strips the worn surface, handles minor repairs, replaces boards that are too far gone, and reseals the deck so it looks new. If your deck is solid underneath but gray or splintered on top, it is one of the cheapest ways to buy years back.
Yes. We install 2 cm porcelain pavers for patios, walkways, rooftops, and pool areas. They come in stone, concrete, terrazzo, and wood-look finishes, grip when wet, and will not rot, warp, fade, or stain.
Most builds run about a week from demolition to finish. Bigger jobs and anything that needs permits take longer. You get a timeline with your quote, and we keep you posted as it moves.
Yes. Call (253) 677-0290 or send the quote form, and we will set up a visit, measure, and get you a detailed estimate, usually within a couple of days.
