Overview
Built for Portland rain. Built to stay solid.
Rain, moisture and soil conditions mean outdoor structures need proper installation to avoid rot, shifting or sagging later.
We look at your yard, soil and layout before we start, prepare the ground for drainage, use treated wood or composite, and set secure footings for long-term support.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit for a deck in Portland?
In the City of Portland, an uncovered deck needs a building permit when any part of the walking surface is more than 30 inches above the ground. Lower decks usually don’t need a building permit, but zoning setbacks still apply. Covered decks and other cities have their own rules. We check the rules for your property and handle the permit when one is needed.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Portland?
Usually not. In Portland, wood fences up to 7 feet and chain-link up to 8 feet don’t need a building permit, unless the fence encloses a pool. Zoning still limits height; in many zones a fence in the front setback can only be 3 and a half feet tall. We check before we build.
Should I choose wood or composite decking?
Wood costs less up front and looks natural, but in our rainy climate it needs regular cleaning and sealing. Composite costs more but needs less upkeep. We build both.
What type of fence lasts the longest?
Chain-link and vinyl usually last the longest with the least upkeep. A wood fence lasts longer when the posts are set properly and the wood is sealed regularly.
How much does a new deck or fence cost in the Portland area?
It depends on the size of the job, the site and the materials you choose. After we see the project and agree on the scope, we give you a fixed price with no hidden fees. Call or text (971) 242-4048 to talk it through.
How long does a deck or fence project take?
Every job is different, so we don’t publish standard timelines. Once we have seen the site and agreed on the scope, we give you a schedule for your project.
Do you take commercial projects?
We’re mostly residential, with some light commercial. Most of our projects are homes, additions and ADUs in the Portland area.
