  • Better durability: smart detailing for rain, splash zones, and coastal winds
  • Cleaner build: fewer surprises for the crew, fewer change orders for you

How Our Process Works

1) Discover And Measure

We start with a short call to learn your goals, then visit your home to measure, verify utilities, and note constraints like drainage paths, landscaping, and door thresholds. We also discuss options like shade structures, lighting, privacy screens, and storage.

2) Design Concepts And Options

You will see a practical concept that fits your space and budget, with optional alternatives for decking materials, railing styles, and stair placement. We refine the layout together so the deck works for everyday living and weekend entertaining.

3) Engineering And Permit-Ready Plans

Once you approve the layout, we produce structural sizing and details suited to our climate. Your plan set is packaged for digital submittal with the notes reviewers expect. Requirements can vary by home size, site conditions, and season, so we tailor every plan set accordingly.

4) Build Coordination And Support

Going forward with construction? We coordinate with your contractor or hand off to our in‑house team for a streamlined build. If review comments come back, we address reasonable clarifications quickly. Ready to talk timing and next steps? Call 206-806-3878.

Local tip: planning in winter often means quicker design cycles and better spring build slots. Ask about detailing like joist protection, flashing at ledgers, and slip‑resistant decking that stands up to Edmonds rain.

Materials That Match Your Maintenance Goals

Cedar brings a warm, natural look and can be stunning with regular care. Composites and PVC reduce upkeep and hold color well. We help you choose between hidden fasteners, face screws, and trim details so the finished surface looks clean and drains water well.

Framing, Footings, And Connections

Strong ledgers, proper post bases, and corrosion‑resistant hardware make a real difference in our climate. We specify practical details that are simple for builders to execute and reliable for long‑term performance.

Railings, Stairs, And Lighting

Whether you want cable for view decks or pickets for privacy, we lay out comfortable stair runs, secure handgrips, and lighting locations so evening use feels safe and inviting.

Design and engineering timelines depend on project size, the number of revisions, and review queues. Simple decks often move from measure to submit in a few weeks.
