Decking in Fircrest, WA
Decking for Fircrest homes, from Builders Service Company.
Pierce County assessor records show 55% of single-family homes in the city have a deck, and the median deck is 293 square feet. Whether you are rebuilding one of those or adding a first deck off the back door, the material decides how much upkeep it will need.
We build with three materials:
- Composite decking doesn’t rot or need staining, a good fit for shaded yards where boards stay damp and moss takes hold.
- Vinyl decking is also rot-free and easy to clean.
- Wood decking gives a natural look at a lower cost, and needs regular sealing to stay sound in a wet climate.
On any deck we plan for drainage, a slip-resistant surface and flashing where the ledger meets the house, so water doesn’t sit against your siding. With 72% of homes owner-occupied, many owners here are planning for years of use, which is a good reason to weigh low-maintenance boards against the lower upfront cost of wood.

Fircrest decking FAQ
What deck material holds up best in Fircrest's wet weather?
Composite and vinyl decking hold up best to damp conditions because they don't rot or need staining. That matters in shaded yards where boards stay wet and moss takes hold. Wood decking costs less upfront and gives a natural look, but it needs regular sealing. Assessor records show 55% of single-family homes in the city already have a deck, so many projects are rebuilds.
How large are decks on Fircrest homes?
The median deck on a single-family home in Fircrest is 293 square feet, according to Pierce County assessor records. That leaves space for a table and seating. We build decks in composite, vinyl and wood, and plan drainage, a slip-resistant surface and flashing at the house on every one, whether we are adding a new deck or rebuilding an existing one.
