Decking in Woodland, WA
Decking for Woodland homes, from Builders Service Company.
Wet winters are hard on wood decks. Shade and standing water feed moss and rot, and a slick surface becomes a hazard on the steps. Composite and vinyl decking do not rot and do not need staining, which makes them a strong fit for this climate. Wood is still an option if you want a natural look or a tighter budget, as long as you plan on sealing it regularly.
Whatever the material, a deck here should be built for drainage and a slip-resistant surface. Board spacing, flashing at the ledger board and good airflow under the frame all help the deck dry out between storms.
About 56% of local homes are owner-occupied, and long-term owners are the ones most likely to invest in an outdoor space they will use for years. We build wood, vinyl and composite decks and help you weigh appearance, upkeep and budget during the consultation.

Woodland decking FAQ
Should I build my deck with wood or composite?
For most damp, shaded yards, composite or vinyl decking is the better choice, because neither one rots or needs staining through wet winters. Wood still makes sense if you want a natural look or a lower budget, as long as you seal it regularly. We build wood, vinyl and composite decks and talk through upkeep and cost during the free in-home consultation.
How do you keep a deck safe in the rain?
We build for drainage and a slip-resistant surface from the start. Wet winters and shade feed moss, which makes boards and steps slick, so we plan board spacing, flashing at the house and airflow under the frame to help the deck dry between storms. Composite and vinyl boards also resist the rot that softens old wood decks.
