How We Work

Building a deck is a series of clear, connected steps. We listen to your vision, design it to code, handle permits, and build with care. You'll know what's happening at every stage.

1

Plan & Design

We meet at your home to walk the yard, discuss your goals, and sketch ideas. You'll learn about permits, budget, and material options before we draw anything final.

2

Secure Permits

We handle all paperwork with Clackamas County. Deck codes vary by height, location, and rail type—we know the rules and stay current.

3

Prepare Your Site

We clear the work area, mark post locations, and set up footers. If your yard slopes—common in Clackamas—we calculate the right foundation for your terrain.

4

Build Frame & Install

Posts, beams, and joists go in first. Then we lay deck boards, add railings, and trim edges. Every fastener is sunk flush to prevent injury and rust.

5

Final Inspection & Cleanup

County inspector signs off. We remove scrap, sweep the area, and walk you through care tips so your deck stays strong.

6

Enjoy & Maintain

Your deck is ready. We provide a care sheet covering staining, sealing, and seasonal prep so you get years of safe, beautiful use.

You'll always know what's happening next—and when.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to build a deck in Clackamas?

Yes. Most decks over 12 inches high or larger than 100 square feet require a Clackamas County permit. We handle the paperwork and pass final inspection.

What materials hold up best to Oregon rain and freeze-thaw?

Composite decking resists rot and needs little sealing. Cedar and pressure-treated pine are affordable but require regular staining and sealing every 2–3 years in our wet climate.

Can you build a deck on a sloped yard?

Absolutely. Sloped lots are common in Clackamas. We design multi-level decks with proper footers dug below the frost line, ensuring stability even on steep grades.

What if my deck has dry rot or water damage?

We inspect and identify affected sections. Rotted boards and beams get replaced; structural repairs are guaranteed. We can often save the deck without a full rebuild.

Do you offer deck maintenance or cleaning services?

Yes. Power washing, sanding, staining, and sealing keep your deck safe and beautiful. We recommend these services every few years for wood decks in our climate.

Can I add a cover or pergola to my existing deck?

Yes, if your deck is structurally sound. We assess the foundation and add posts or beams as needed to safely support the new roof or shade structure.
