SPEC 00 / Decks + fences / Seattle, WA

Fences, gates & composite decks. Built square. Built for rain.

Yes, fencing is in the name. Decks are most of the work. We build both, and we build them to handle a long wet season.

01 / Scope of work

What we build

Six lines of work. One crew mindset: measure twice, frame it right, leave the site clean.

SVC 01 / Material: composite

Composite decks

This is the core of what we do. Capped composite decking on a frame built to outlast the boards on top of it. Ground-level platforms, raised decks off a back door, multi-level layouts, stairs and landings.

  • Board layout, color and edge detail
  • Framing, footings and stair runs
  • Hidden or face fastening, per board spec
  • Aluminum, cable or composite railing

SVC 02 / Material: wood

Wood decks

Cedar or pressure-treated lumber for people who want real wood and accept the upkeep.

About wood decks
SVC 06 / Hardware

Gates

Walk, double drive and sliding gates. Built to keep latching, winter after winter.

02 / Material spec

Pick the material first

Every project starts with this choice. Here is the plain comparison we give homeowners at the estimate.

Cedar

MAT / WOOD
Used for
Fences, gates, wood decks
Look
Warm, natural grain. Silvers out if left alone.
Upkeep
Periodic cleaning and stain or sealer.
In Seattle rain
Naturally rot-resistant, but needs care where it stays damp.
Trade-off
Beautiful, but it asks for your weekends.

Composite

MAT / COMPOSITE
Used for
Decks — our main build. Also railing.
Look
Wood-tone colors, consistent board to board.
Upkeep
Wash it. No sanding, no staining.
In Seattle rain
Capped boards shrug off moisture and wipe clean of moss and grime.
Trade-off
Higher upfront cost. Dark colors run warm in direct sun.

Steel / Aluminum

MAT / METAL
Used for
Ornamental fences, gates, deck railing
Look
Clean lines. Modern or classic.
Upkeep
Low. Touch up the finish if it gets scratched.
In Seattle rain
Aluminum won’t rust. Steel relies on a good coating.
Trade-off
Less privacy unless paired with slats or planting.

Chain link

MAT / WIRE
Used for
Yards, dog runs, property lines, side yards
Look
Functional. Coated versions blend in better.
Upkeep
Close to none.
In Seattle rain
Galvanized or coated wire holds up to wet weather.
Trade-off
Most economical, least private.

// Not sure? Mix them. Cedar fence, steel gate, composite deck is a common combination.

03 / Climate load

Why composite wins in Seattle

Rain from October to June. Shade from big trees. Moss on anything that sits still. That’s the job site.

  • 3.1

    It doesn’t drink water

    Capped boards have a protective shell. Rain runs off instead of soaking in.

  • 3.2

    Moss washes off

    A soft brush and soapy water. No scraping, no re-staining.

  • 3.3

    Your summers stay free

    No annual sealing. The dry months are for using the deck.

  • 3.4

    The frame still matters

    We treat footings, joists and drainage as seriously as the surface you see.

Straight talk / Trade-offs

Composite costs more than wood on day one. It’s not the right fit for every yard or budget. We’ll price both if you ask.
