Decking in Shoreline, WA
Decking for Shoreline homes, from Builders Service Company.
Decks are common here: King County assessor records show 47% of single-family homes in Shoreline have one, with a median size of 210 square feet. With 66% of homes owner-occupied, many of those decks belong to long-term owners ready to replace a worn structure rather than patch it again.
We build with wood, vinyl and composite decking, and the right material depends on where the deck sits:
- Shaded or north-facing yards: moderate rain and moss are the main enemies. Composite or vinyl decking won’t rot and doesn’t need staining, and we plan drainage and slip resistance for wet months.
- Budget or a natural look: wood works well when you’re ready to keep up with regular sealing.
- View lots: 8% of homes have a view, and railing choices that keep sightlines open matter on those decks.
We listen to how you want to use the space and design the deck to complement your home’s style, whether it’s a simple replacement or a larger layout. Your options are laid out during the free in-home consultation.

Shoreline decking FAQ
How big are decks on Shoreline homes?
The median deck is 210 square feet, according to King County assessor records, and 47% of single-family homes have one. If you're replacing an existing deck, that is a useful reference point, but a new deck is sized to your yard and how you use it. We build with wood, vinyl and composite decking and lay out the options during the free in-home consultation.
What decking holds up best in a shaded Shoreline yard?
Composite or vinyl decking is usually the better choice for shade, because neither rots or needs staining. Moderate rain and moss on north-facing areas are typical in this Puget Sound climate, so we also plan drainage and slip resistance. Wood is a good fit for a budget or a natural look if you're ready to keep up with regular sealing.
