Do I need a permit for a new deck in Portland?

Most decks over a certain height/size require a permit. We handle drawings, engineering (if needed), and submissions for you.

What’s better—composite or hardwood?

Composites (Trex/TimberTech/Fiberon) are low-maintenance; hardwoods (IPE/Batu) offer premium look and durability with periodic oiling. We’ll compare cost, look, and upkeep for your project.

How long does a deck project take?

Design 1–2 weeks, permitting 2–4 weeks (varies by city), and construction typically 1–3 weeks depending on size and materials.
