Decks in Vancouver
For decks, composite decks, deck stairs and covered decks in Vancouver, you deal with Greg directly — no salesman, no middleman. He's based in Rainier, about 84 miles away, with 33 years of experience.
In the older neighborhoods here, a lot of the work is remodels, additions, ADUs and decks on tight lots, built to the city's permit and inspection schedule. Whatever the reason, a new deck has to be framed right, flashed where it meets the house and built from materials that can take wet winter after wet winter.
One customer called Greg “a man of integrity.” Another wrote that he “does excellent work.”

Concrete footings and framing sized for the span and load, with ground clearance and flashing to keep water from rotting the structure.
Clark County, WA
Decks around Vancouver
Greg works all over Vancouver — near David Douglas Park, Wintler Community Park and Vancouver Mall and out by Rocky Butte and Guild's Lake — and throughout Clark County.
Vancouver is Clark County's largest city, on the Columbia River across from Portland. Vancouver is about 84 miles south of our base in Rainier, inside our 100-mile service area.
Western Washington buildings fight water more than anything — months of rain, moss on the roof, rot wherever wood stays wet, and soils that hold moisture. A building lasts when it sits on a proper foundation with drainage around it, is wrapped and flashed right, and is built to dry out.

How it works
How your Vancouver deck job works
- 1
Free on-site estimate
Greg checks the yard, the view and the grade, sees where the deck will attach, and asks how you'll use it.
- 2
Design and permit
We settle size, shape, materials, stairs and railings, then get the deck permit where one is required.
- 3
Footings and frame
The old deck comes off if there is one, footings are poured and the frame goes up level and solid.
- 4
Decking, rails and cleanup
Decking, stairs, railings and any built-ins go on, and the yard is cleaned up before the final walkthrough.

Questions
Decks in Vancouver: FAQs
Do you do decks in Vancouver, WA?
Yes. Vancouver is about 84 miles south of our base in Rainier, inside our 100-mile service area. Greg handles decks, composite decks, deck stairs and covered decks there, and the estimate is free.
Do I need a permit for decks in Vancouver?
It depends on the project. When one is needed, Greg pulls the permit from the City of Vancouver's building department and builds to whatever the permit and inspection require.
How much does a new deck cost?
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.
Can you repair my deck, or does it need replacing?
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.
Do I need a permit to build a deck?
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.
Can you put a roof over my deck?
Yes. A covered deck lets you use it through the rainy months. We frame the roof on posts with their own footings, tie it into the house or keep it freestanding, and match the roofing to your home. The covered balcony on timber posts in Greg's photos is one example.
