Decking in Fife, WA
Decking for Fife homes, from Builders Service Company.
Assessor records show that 25% of single-family homes here have a deck, and the median deck covers 280 square feet.
The South Sound’s heavier rain and moss are what wear a deck down. We build with three materials:
- Composite decking does not rot and needs no staining, a good fit for decks that sit in shade or stay wet for long stretches.
- Vinyl decking also resists rot and moss and skips the staining.
- Wood decking gives a natural look and suits a tighter budget, with regular sealing to keep water out.
Whatever the material, we plan for slip resistance and drainage so water runs off the boards and away from the house. If your current deck has soft boards, loose railings or green growth that keeps coming back, a replacement is worth discussing during the consultation. It is also a chance to rethink the size, stairs and railing layout around how you actually use the yard.

Fife decking FAQ
How big are decks on Fife homes?
The median deck on a single-family home here covers 280 square feet, according to Pierce County assessor records, and 25% of homes have a deck. If you are replacing one of those or adding a new one, we build with composite, vinyl or wood decking. Composite and vinyl don't rot or need staining, while wood suits a natural look with regular sealing.
What decking holds up best in Fife's rain?
Composite or vinyl decking is usually the better fit for wet, shaded spots. The South Sound gets heavier rain than the central Sound, and moss and rot are what wear a deck down; composite and vinyl don't rot and need no staining. Wood still works if you want a natural look or a tighter budget, as long as you keep up with regular sealing. We also plan for drainage and slip resistance.
