Decks: Deck builds & protecting decks from water

A deck in the Northwest shouldn’t just be built; it should be engineered for moisture management. The traditional method of “wood on wood” construction leads to rot in as little as ten years in our environment. We specialize in “weatherproofed” deck construction. This means utilizing joist tapes, proper ledger flashing, and advanced membrane systems that keep the structural wood dry even when the surface is wet. Whether we are building a brand-new cedar masterpiece or retrofitting an existing frame with modern waterproofing, our goal is to create an outdoor space that stays safe and beautiful for decades, not just seasons.

More About Decks

Proactive deck waterproofing triples your deck’s lifespan. Spending a bit more on flashing and joist tape today prevents a $30,000 deck rebuild ten years from now

  • Deck Builds & Rebuilds: From the ground up, we design and build decks that prioritize drainage. We use heavy-duty hardware and premium lumber to create a custom outdoor living area.

  • Deck Membranes: We install walkable waterproof membranes (like Duradek) that turn the area under your deck into a dry space. This is perfect for second-story decks where you want a dry patio below.

  • Flashing Installs: We focus on the “critical zones” where the deck meets the house. Our custom metal flashing ensures that water is diverted away from your home’s framing.

  • Vycor/Butyl Systems: We apply protective tape to the tops of all deck joists before the decking goes down. This prevents water from sitting in screw holes and rotting the joists from the inside.

  • Penetration Sealing: Every railing post and bolt is a potential leak. We use specialized gaskets and sealants at every attachment point to keep the moisture out of the wood.

  • Waterproofing Upgrades: If your deck is still in good structural shape, we can retrofit it with drainage systems and protective coatings to extend its life by another decade.
