Deck Builder in Auburn, WA

Yes. Auburn is about 38 miles northeast of our base in Rainier, well inside our 100-mile service area. Greg handles decks, composite decks, deck stairs and covered decks there, and the estimate is free.

It depends on the project. When one is needed, Greg pulls the permit from the City of Auburn's building department and builds to whatever the permit and inspection require.

Both can work well. Composite resists rot and doesn't need staining, though it can get slick with moss in shady spots if it isn't cleaned. Wood costs less up front and looks natural but needs regular sealing to handle our wet winters. Either way, the framing underneath is treated wood, so we space and flash it so it can dry out between storms.

Size, height off the ground, decking material, railing style, stairs and any built-ins drive most of the price. A ground-level deck on a flat yard costs less than a second-story deck with a long run of stairs. Greg gives a free estimate on site and can price wood and composite side by side.

It depends on the framing. If the joists, beams and posts are sound, we can often replace just the boards, stairs or railings. If there is rot in the structure or where the deck attaches to the house, replacement is usually the safer call, and Greg will tell you which during the estimate.

Often, yes, especially for decks attached to the house or raised well off the ground. Rules vary by county and city, so Greg checks what applies at your address and takes care of the permit paperwork.
