A deck built for how you actually use your backyard.
Douglas fir, cedar, composite, or our top recommendation, Ipe hardwood — framed and built to hold up in the Northwest, with a written estimate before anything starts.
From budget Douglas fir to our top recommendation, Ipe.
Every deck is framed to hold up in Clark County's wet winters. The decking material is where the real trade-offs are, and we'll tell you the honest version — not just whichever is easiest for us to sell.
Douglas fir
The most budget-friendly decking option. A solid, economical choice for a straightforward deck — it needs the same regular staining and sealing as cedar to hold up over time.
Cedar
Real character and naturally rot-resistant, but knot-free cedar has gotten harder to find and can end up costing more than composite. It also needs periodic sealing to keep its color and hold up to Northwest weather.
Composite
No staining or sealing required, which sounds like the easy choice — but composite can warp and fade over time, especially in full sun, and it is typically priced close to Ipe.
Ipe hardwood
Our top recommendation. Ipe is exceptionally dense and naturally durable, priced similarly to composite, and it outlasts every other option by a wide margin — the best value over the life of the deck.

Do I need a permit to build a deck in Clark County?
Most deck projects require a building permit, and permit requirements vary by jurisdiction and by the size and height of the deck. Under our standard contract, obtaining and paying for any required permit is the homeowner's responsibility — we'll talk through what your project is likely to need when we walk the site, but we recommend confirming current requirements with your local building department before work begins.
Read our permit guide →What is your warranty on a new deck?
We warranty our workmanship for one year from the date the deck is substantially complete. Manufactured materials — composite decking, railing systems, and similar products — carry their own manufacturer's warranty, which we pass through to you; we don't independently warranty manufactured materials beyond that.
Which decking material do you recommend?
Ipe hardwood is our top recommendation — it's often priced close to composite but outlasts it by a wide margin, with no warping or fading to worry about. Douglas fir is the most budget-friendly option if cost is the priority. Cedar has real character, though knot-free boards have gotten harder to find and can cost more than composite. We'll walk you through the honest trade-offs for your specific project on site.
Read our materials guide →How long does a deck project take?
It depends on the size of the deck, the material, and how long permitting and inspections take in your jurisdiction. We'll give you a realistic timeline once we've walked the site and finalized the scope with you in writing.
