From Homeowners Like You
"Our old deck was literally pulling away from the house. Jason didn't just replace it—he designed something that completely transformed our backyard. The built-in benches and planters make it feel like an outdoor room. We've hosted more gatherings this summer than the last five years combined."
What Goes Into a Deck Built to Last
A deck that lasts decades in Spokane's climate requires proper engineering, quality materials, and expert craftsmanship at every step.
Foundation & Framing
Proper footings below frost line prevent heaving. Pressure-treated framing with proper spacing and hardware ensures structural integrity for decades.
Ledger Attachment
How a deck attaches to your house is critical. We use proper flashing and lag bolts to prevent water intrusion and ensure the connection is structurally sound.
Decking Materials
We source premium materials—whether natural wood or composite—and install with proper gapping for expansion and water drainage.
Railings & Safety
Code-compliant railings with proper height, spacing, and strength. Multiple styles available—wood, metal, cable, glass—to match your aesthetic.
Thinking Beyond the Basic Platform?
The best decks integrate features that make outdoor living effortless—built-in seating, planters, lighting, and even outdoor kitchens. These elements are best planned from the start, not added later.
We help you think through how you'll actually use the space, then design accordingly. Electrical for lighting and speakers, gas lines for grills, drainage for planters—all hidden within the structure.

Common Questions About Deck Construction
Answers to the questions we hear most often from Spokane homeowners.
How long does it take to build a deck?
A standard deck takes 1-2 weeks once we start construction. More complex projects with multiple levels, built-ins, or covered structures might take 2-4 weeks. Weather can affect timing. We provide a specific schedule with your proposal.
What's the typical investment for a deck in Spokane?
A basic pressure-treated wood deck might start around $15,000-$20,000. Composite decking adds 30-50% to material costs but saves on long-term maintenance. Multi-level designs or built-in features increase cost accordingly. We provide detailed estimates after site visits.
Wood or composite—which should I choose?
Both are excellent choices. Wood costs less upfront but requires regular maintenance (staining/sealing every 2-3 years). Composite costs more initially but needs minimal maintenance and won't splinter or warp. We'll discuss the tradeoffs for your specific situation.
Do I need a permit for a deck?
Yes, most decks require building permits in Spokane. The permitting process ensures structural safety and proper attachment to your home. We handle all permit applications and inspections—you don't have to deal with any of it.
What about my sloped yard?
Sloped yards are often ideal for decks—they create natural elevation for views and can include walk-out levels underneath. We design around your terrain rather than fighting it. Steeper slopes may require additional engineering, which we handle.
Can you replace my old deck?
Absolutely. We can often reuse existing footings if they're in good condition, which saves money. We'll assess your current structure and recommend the most cost-effective approach—full replacement, partial rebuild, or just new decking on the existing frame.
