Moisture Damage (Rot, Mold, and Mildew): Persistent rain in Oregon can lead to wood rot, mold, and mildew, compromising the deck's structure and appearance. Our Solution: We use moisture-resistant materials like composite decking or pressure-treated wood with proper sealing. Additionally, we apply high-quality stains and sealants to protect wood decks and ensure proper ventilation to prevent moisture buildup.


Warping and Splitting: Temperature fluctuations and high moisture levels can cause wood to warp or split over time. Our Solution: We select premium materials like composite or kiln-dried wood to minimize expansion and contraction. Proper installation techniques and regular maintenance, such as resealing, help maintain the deck's integrity.


Inadequate Drainage: Poor drainage can lead to water pooling on or under the deck, causing long-term structural damage. Our Solution: We design decks with proper slope and install under-deck drainage systems when needed. This ensures that water flows away from the structure, keeping it dry and protected.


Fastener Corrosion: Oregon’s wet climate accelerates rusting of screws, nails, and other fasteners, weakening connections. Our Solution: We use corrosion-resistant fasteners, such as stainless steel or coated options, to ensure long-lasting durability even in wet conditions.


Foundation Shifting: Shifting soil or inadequate footings can cause instability and unevenness in the deck structure. Our Solution: We assess the soil type and conditions at each site, using deeper footings or reinforced supports as needed. Our foundations are designed to withstand soil movement and provide long-term stability.
