Decking in Yakima, WA
Decking for Yakima homes, from Builders Service Company.
Decks here face strong sun more than rain and moss. High UV fades deck surfaces and heats them underfoot, so if you choose composite or vinyl decking, a lighter color is the better pick. Wood is still an option for a natural look or a tighter budget, but it needs regular sealing.
Wildfire risk is high in this area, so we plan for ember-resistant decking and keep clearance under the deck, where leaves and debris can collect and catch embers. Cold winters matter below the surface too: footings and framing have to be built for freeze-thaw.
Detached single-family houses make up 59% of local homes, and 54% of homes are owner-occupied. Long-term owners are the ones who get the most out of a well-chosen deck material.
We build with wood, vinyl and composite decking and size each deck to the house and how you plan to use it.

Yakima decking FAQ
What deck material handles the summer heat best?
Composite or vinyl decking in a lighter color is usually the better pick, because strong sun fades deck surfaces and heats them underfoot. Wood still works for a natural look or a tighter budget, but it needs regular sealing. With wildfire risk high in this area, we also plan for ember-resistant decking and clearance under the deck.
Which deck material needs the least upkeep in Yakima?
Composite and vinyl decking need the least upkeep, because they do not need staining or sealing the way wood does. In strong sun, choose a lighter color to limit fading and surface heat. Wood stays an option for a natural look or a tighter budget, as long as you plan for regular sealing. We build with all three materials.
