Deck Builders in Seattle You Can Count On

We design it, build it, fix it, and keep it running. Every deck we touch gets the same thing: solid craftsmanship, attention to what matters, and respect for your home. That’s been our standard from day one.

Custom Deck Design & Installation

Every deck worth having starts with a real plan. We walk you through the whole thing—sketches, materials, layout—until it feels right for how you actually live. We've done enough deck installations in Seattle to know what the weather does, what the terrain demands, and how homes here are built.

Whether you're picturing something simple out back or a big setup for hosting, we'll design and build a deck you'll use constantly and rely on for years. You get straight answers, a clear plan, and a deck that belongs to your house.

Composite Deck Construction (Trex, TimberTech, etc.)

Composite's probably the smartest call if you're tired of scraping, sealing, and fixing boards every year. Our team of deck builders near Seattle, WA, uses top brands like Trex and TimberTech—stuff that can tolerate moisture, doesn't fade, won't rot, and basically takes care of itself. We'll help you pick colors and textures that fit what you're going for, then install everything tight and clean. Every board sits right, every seam's locked down, every corner's dialed in. If low maintenance and long-term toughness matter to you, a composite is one of the best moves you can make in this climate.

Wood Decks (Cedar, Redwood)

Some people just want real wood, and honestly, we love building with it. Cedar's perfect for the Northwest—gorgeous grain, rich tones, naturally fights bugs and rot. Our reliable deck contractors near Seattle, WA, source high-quality lumber and build decks that breathe, drain properly, and age the way they're supposed to in wet weather.

Whether you're after something classic or more modern, your deck gets built by people who know Seattle's climate inside out. It's a timeless option that adds warmth and real value to your home.

Waterproofing & Maintenance

Seattle weather beats on decks constantly, so waterproofing and upkeep aren't optional. We install systems that keep moisture from sneaking into the framing and wrecking things from the inside out.

Our maintenance covers cleaning, sealing, board swaps, seasonal checkups—whatever keeps your deck strong. Cedar, composite, redwood—doesn't matter. The right care makes everything last longer in this climate. People around here count on us to keep their decks fresh and functional year after year, and that's exactly what we do.

Deck Repair & Resurfacing

Not every tired deck needs to be ripped out and rebuilt. Sometimes it just needs some attention. We handle repairs and resurfacing—swap out bad boards, beef up the framing, upgrade railings, throw on new wood or composite. Our deck repair and resurfacing experts in Seattle, WA, take a look and tell you what's actually salvageable and what needs work.

Resurfacing can completely change how your deck looks and feels without the full teardown cost. Whether it's cosmetic stuff or deeper issues, we'll get it safe, good-looking, and back to being something you actually want to use.

Outdoor Add-Ons: Railings, stairs, pergolas, lighting, seating

The extras are what turn a deck into a space you never want to leave. We design and build custom railings, solid stairs, built-in benches, LED lighting, pergolas, privacy screens—you name it. These aren't just add-ons; they're what make your deck safer, more comfortable, and way more yours. We match everything to your home's style and your deck's layout. Want evening lights? A pergola for shade? Modern rails? Built-in seating? We bring the same care to every piece. Your deck stops being just a platform and becomes the spot everyone gravitates toward.

Why Seattle Homeowners Choose Rich Landscaping?

Locally owned & operated

We're local. Our deck builders know Seattle's neighborhoods, the weather, and what the city requires. Being rooted here means we care about the work we leave behind, and that shows up in every deck we build.

Licensed, bonded, and insured in Washington State

We're fully licensed, bonded, and insured—the whole deal. Your project's handled right, safely, and by the book. We follow Washington codes to the letter on every job, whether it's new construction or repairs.

30+ years of deck building experience

Three decades of building decks teach you things you can't learn from a manual. Our deck contractors near Seattle, WA, have built thousands across the region. That experience shows in how we design layouts, build the frame, and create decks that stand the test of time.

Premium materials designed for Seattle's wet climate

We use quality materials that can handle the Pacific Northwest climate. Everything is selected to withstand our constant rain, high moisture levels, and heavy year-round use. Quality products plus proper installation equals a deck that performs in Seattle's mood swings.

FAQ's

Do I need a permit to build a deck in Seattle?
Most decks need permits, especially if they’re elevated or attached to your house. We handle all of it—drawings, paperwork, submissions, inspections. Your project stays compliant with Seattle codes from the first board to the final walkthrough, and you don’t have to lift a finger on the permit side.
What's the average cost to build a deck in Seattle?
It depends on what you’re building—size, materials, height, extras like rails and lights. Composite costs more up front, and wood starts lower. We give you a detailed estimate based on your actual property and plans, so you know exactly what you’re looking at before committing.
How long does it take to install a new deck?
Anywhere from one to several weeks, depending on what you’re building, the weather, and how long permits take. Once design and materials are locked in, our crew moves efficiently. Our team of deck contractors in Seattle, WA, builds it right, and we build it to last.
What's the best deck material for Seattle's rainy weather?
Composite handles rain better than anything—tough, low maintenance, built for this. Cedar’s another strong pick with natural resilience. We’ll sit down and compare performance, cost, and looks based on your home and what you’re hoping to get out of it long-term.
Do you handle deck design and permits?
We handle everything. Design talks, layout planning, permits, materials, and full build. You get one team managing the whole process, and that team knows Seattle’s codes, requirements, and weather inside out.
Can you repair or resurface my old deck?
Absolutely. Our deck builders near Seattle, WA, provide structural fixes, board replacements, railing upgrades, and full resurfacing with wood or composite. Whether it’s minor repairs or major restoration, we bring your deck back to a safe, usable condition.
Do you offer free quotes or consultations?
