Decking in Ocean Shores, WA
Decking for Ocean Shores homes, from Builders Service Company.
A coastal deck spends much of the year wet. Very high rainfall, salt spray and the long gaps between visits at vacation homes all point toward materials that need little upkeep. We build with wood, vinyl and composite decking:
- Composite or vinyl decking suits wet, shaded or moss-prone decks. Neither rots or needs staining, which matters when the house sits empty for part of the year.
- Wood decking gives a natural look and fits a tighter budget, as long as it is sealed regularly to keep water out.
Whatever the surface, slip resistance and drainage come first on a deck that stays damp for months. Near salt air we use corrosion-resistant fasteners and hardware throughout the frame and railing.
Wildfire risk is rated low, at the 23rd percentile statewide, so ember resistance is not the deciding factor in choosing a material here. Rain, salt and maintenance are.

Ocean Shores decking FAQ
What decking holds up best in a wet coastal climate?
Composite or vinyl decking is the low-maintenance choice for wet, shaded or moss-prone decks, since neither rots or needs staining. Wood decking gives a natural look and fits a tighter budget if it is sealed regularly. With very high rainfall and salt spray, we focus on slip resistance, drainage and corrosion-resistant fasteners and hardware, whichever surface you choose.
Do I need fire-resistant decking on the coast?
It is not usually the deciding factor here. Wildfire risk is rated low, at the 23rd percentile statewide, so rain, salt spray and upkeep drive most decking choices. We build with wood, vinyl and composite decking, and the right material depends on how the deck is used, how much shade it gets and how often you are at the house. We talk it through at a free in-home consultation.
