What We Build
Our team handles residential deck projects of all sizes. Whether you need a small ground-level platform or a multi-level deck with railing and lighting, we design around your home and your budget.
Our deck services include:
- Custom deck design based on your layout and goals
- Deck installation using wood or composite materials
- Deck framing built to structural and code requirements
- Deck railing in wood, metal, or cable styles
- Deck lighting for safety and evening use
- Deck repair for worn or damaged structures
We stay on the job from start to finish. The crew that plans your deck builds it, which means fewer handoffs and fewer surprises. That is something homeowners notice, and it is how we have maintained the same reputation for over three decades.
Wood or Composite: Which Is Right for You
Material selection is one of the first decisions we work through together. Both options hold up well in the Pacific Northwest, and each has trade-offs worth understanding before you commit to anything.
- Wood is a natural fit for homeowners who want a traditional look. Cedar and pressure-treated lumber are popular choices in this region. Wood can be stained or sealed and, with regular maintenance, holds up well for years.
- Composite decking is made from wood fiber and recycled plastic. It resists moisture, fading, and insects better than natural wood and needs far less upkeep. It costs more upfront but tends to outperform wood over the long run with minimal maintenance.
We help you weigh both options based on your budget, how much maintenance you want to do, and the look you are going for. There is no one right answer, but we will tell you honestly what fits your situation.
Washington State requires all construction contractors to be registered, bonded, and insured before performing residential work. SmartDecks is fully registered with the Washington Department of Labor and Industries, so you are covered from the start.
Pergolas, Porches, and Outdoor Living Areas
We build more than decks. A pergola adds shade and structure to your backyard without closing it off. A porch improves curb appeal and gives you a usable covered space. An outdoor living area brings together seating, dining, and cooking space into one well-designed setup.
Our outdoor services include:
- Pergola construction for shade, style, and durability
- Porch construction that adds value and comfort to your home exterior
- Outdoor living areas designed for entertaining and everyday use
Each project follows the same planning and build process as our decks. We sit down with you first, confirm the design fits the space, check local permit requirements, and build it to last.
Deck Repair Services
If your existing deck has problems, repair is often the smarter move before replacing the whole structure. We see a lot of decks where the surface looks rough but the bones are still solid. Targeted repairs restore both the look and safety of the deck at a fraction of the cost of a full rebuild.
Our repair work covers:
- Board replacement and refinishing
- Railing and hardware repair
- Post and joist repair
- Full structural inspection before any work begins
We check the entire deck, not just what is visible from the top. If there are deeper structural issues, we find them and fix them rather than covering them up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to build a deck in Washington?
Most deck projects require a permit from your local building department. We handle the coordination and make sure all work meets local code before we begin.
How long does a deck build take?
Most residential projects take three to seven days depending on size and materials. We give you a realistic timeline before anything starts.
Do you work with both wood and composite?
Yes. We build with both and help you decide which makes more sense based on your goals, your budget, and how much upkeep you want going forward.
