How We Work

Our process keeps you informed at every stage. From initial planning through final walkthrough, transparency guides every decision.

1

Site Visit & Design

We inspect your yard, assess drainage, check soil conditions, and discuss your vision. Local permits and HOA rules are reviewed upfront.

2

Material Selection

Gig Harbor's wet climate demands rot-resistant materials. We recommend treated wood, composite, or cedar based on your budget and maintenance preferences.

3

Permits & Planning

We handle all Gig Harbor building permits and setback requirements. No surprises—everything is documented and filed before work begins.

4

Foundation & Framing

We dig below the frost line, set treated posts in concrete, and frame using pressure-treated lumber. This prevents settling and frost heave in winters.

5

Decking & Railings

We install your chosen decking boards and custom railings, ensuring proper spacing for water drainage and code compliance throughout.

6

Final Inspection

We walk the deck together, check all railings, stairs, and fasteners. Local building official signs off. Then your new space is ready to enjoy.

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

Why Local Expertise Matters

Gig Harbor presents unique challenges that standard deck builders miss. We've learned them the hard way.

40+ years of carpentry expertise—We've built hundreds of decks that survive Gig Harbor winters without rot or settling.

Gig Harbor's 150+ rainy days per year demand materials and techniques that resist moisture. We use treated lumber, proper ventilation, and drainage systems other builders overlook.
