What’s Your Deck Dream? Finding the Perfect Fit

Think of your deck as a room without a ceiling. How you plan to use it will help determine the best type for your home.

Attached Decks: The classic! This is the style you see most often, acting as a seamless transition from your indoor living space to your yard. They are perfect for dining, lounging, and keeping an eye on the kids playing outside.
Freestanding (or Floating) Decks: Your own private island in your backyard! Not attached to the house, these versatile patios can be built anywhere. They’re a fantastic solution for yards with unique layouts or for creating a destination spot, like a poolside lounge or a quiet corner in the garden.
Multi-Level Decks: Why have one deck when you can have two or three? These are brilliant for sloped yards or for creating distinct "zones"—one area for grilling, another for dining, and a lower level for a fire pit or hot tub.
Rooftop & Over-Garage Decks: The ultimate urban solution! If you're short on yard space, building up can give you a stunning, private retreat with a great view.

The Building Blocks: Choosing Your Deck Material

This is where the magic happens! The material you choose defines your deck's look, feel, and the amount of upkeep it will need. Here’s a friendly breakdown of the most popular options for a custom deck:

Cedar & Redwood

- Contain natural oils (tannins) that make them resistant to rot and insects.
- Stay cooler in the sun than composite materials.
Cons:
- Higher cost than pressure-treated wood.

- Incredibly low maintenance—no sanding or staining required!
- Resistant to rot, insects, and fading.
Cons:
- Higher upfront cost than most wood options.

The ultimate powerhouse in durability. It contains no wood at all, just 100% plastic.

- Very lightweight and easy to clean.
- Offers a long lifespan with minimal upkeep.
Cons:
- Typically the most expensive material option.
- Some people find it looks less natural than composite or wood.

A Note for Our Bellingham Neighbors: Beating the Drizzle!

Living in Bellingham, we know that our lush, green landscape comes with a lot of moisture. This makes choosing the right materials and using professional building techniques absolutely critical to prevent rot and mold. Because nobody invites mold to the BBQ.

Here’s how we ensure your custom deck stands up to the PNW weather:

Smart Material Choice: We can guide you to the best wood or composite materials that laugh in the face of rain.
Proper Ventilation: We design decks with adequate airflow underneath to keep things dry.
Quality Sealants: For a wood deck, using a high-quality, water-repellent sealant is non-negotiable. We recommend reapplying it regularly.
Professional Installation: Ensuring proper flashing where the deck meets the house and using the right hardware prevents water from getting where it shouldn't.

The Freestanding Deck
