Decking in Ephrata, WA
Decking for Ephrata homes, from Builders Service Company.
Sun is the main thing a deck faces in Ephrata. The Columbia Basin’s high UV and temperature extremes fade deck surfaces and can make them hot underfoot, so we often suggest lighter colors in composite or vinyl decking. Wood decking suits a tighter budget or a natural look, with regular sealing to keep it in shape. We build with wood, vinyl and composite.
Wildfire is the other factor. The area is rated at the 91st percentile statewide for wildfire risk, so we plan for ember-resistant decking and keep clearance under the deck so leaves and debris do not collect there.
With 65% of homes owner-occupied, most of the decks we plan here are for owners who will use them for years. We design each one around your house and your yard, whether it is for relaxing, entertaining or family use, and we build it safe and sturdy.
