Decking in Gig Harbor, WA
Decking for Gig Harbor homes, from Builders Service Company.
Decks are common here: assessor records show 58% of single-family homes have one, and the median deck is 336 square feet. With 62% of homes owner-occupied, many owners plan a deck as a long-term addition to the house.
We build with wood, vinyl and composite decking. Heavy tree cover means shade, moss and damp boards much of the year, so composite or vinyl is often the better fit: neither rots or needs staining. Wood suits a natural look or a tighter budget, as long as you plan on regular sealing. In shady yards we pay attention to slip resistance and drainage so water does not sit on the surface or around posts.
With 16% of single-family homes having a view and 5% on the waterfront, railing choice matters as much as the boards; we help you pick railings that keep sightlines open. Elevated decks off an upper floor need sound framing and footings, and we cover those details in the design.

Gig Harbor decking FAQ
Which decking holds up best under Gig Harbor's tree cover?
Composite and vinyl decking are usually the better fit in shade and moss because neither rots or needs staining. Wood works if you want a natural look or a lower upfront budget and are ready to seal it regularly. We also design for slip resistance and drainage in shady yards.
