Decking in Kirkland, WA
Decking for Kirkland homes, from Builders Service Company.
King County assessor records show 54% of single-family homes in Kirkland have a deck, with a median size of 220 square feet. Where an older wood deck has been through many wet seasons, the boards turn soft, mossy or slick.
Moderate rain keeps deck surfaces damp for much of the year, so we plan for drainage, slip resistance and moss. We build with wood, vinyl and composite decking. Composite and vinyl boards do not rot and never need staining, which suits a damp climate. Wood decking costs less up front and gives a natural look, as long as you seal it regularly.
About 12% of single-family homes have a view, and on those decks we choose railings that keep sightlines open. With 61% of homes owner-occupied, many owners plan to use a new deck for years, so we design it as an extension of your home, sized and laid out for how you actually use the space.
We discuss materials, layout and railings during the free in-home consultation. Learn more about Kirkland home exterior services.

Kirkland decking FAQ
Is composite worth it when replacing an older wood deck?
For many owners it is, because composite and vinyl boards do not rot and never need staining. That matters when decks stay damp through the wet months. The median deck on a local single-family home is 220 square feet, according to King County assessor records, so material choice affects a sizable surface. Wood remains the lower-cost option with a natural look if you are willing to seal it regularly.
Do you still build wood decks?
Yes. We build with wood, vinyl and composite decking. Wood costs less up front and gives a natural look, but it needs regular sealing to handle moderate rain. King County assessor records show 54% of local single-family homes have a deck, so many projects replace an existing one. We help you weigh wood against composite or vinyl during the free in-home consultation.
