Decking in Steilacoom, WA
Decking for Steilacoom homes, from Builders Service Company.
Decks are common in Steilacoom: Pierce County assessor records show 60% of homes have one, with a median size of 298 square feet. The South Sound’s heavy rain and moss are hard on any deck surface.
We build with three materials:
- Composite decking and vinyl decking hold up well in rain and shade. Neither rots or needs staining, which suits a climate where moss grows readily.
- Wood decking gives a natural look at a lower starting cost, but it needs regular sealing to stand up to wet seasons.
In a wet climate, slip resistance and drainage deserve as much thought as the surface material. We plan board spacing and slope so water runs off rather than pooling.
About 21% of local homes have a view, so railing choice is worth discussing; the right design keeps sightlines open from the deck and the rooms behind it. With 63% of homes owner-occupied, many owners plan a deck for the long term, which favors materials that will look good for years with little upkeep.
