Decking in Mercer Island, WA
Decking for Mercer Island homes, from Builders Service Company.
Decks are standard on Mercer Island. King County assessor records show 68% of single-family homes have one, with a median size of 410 square feet, so many projects begin with an existing deck that needs replacing.
We build with wood, vinyl and composite decking. The Eastside gets moderate rain, and boards that stay damp grow moss and can rot. Composite and vinyl don’t rot and don’t need staining, which keeps upkeep down. On any surface, plan for drainage and slip resistance. Wood still suits owners who want a natural look and are willing to seal it regularly.
Views shape a lot of deck designs here. Assessor records show 36% of homes have a view and 10% sit on the waterfront. Choose a railing that keeps your sightlines open, and on waterfront lots use corrosion-resistant fasteners and hardware so the structure holds up near the water.
A deck should work as usable outdoor space that fits how you live. Learn more about Mercer Island home exterior services.
