A deck in Longview has to handle wet winters and real sun in August. That combination is hard on framing that was not detailed correctly. We flash ledgers properly, size beams and posts to the load, and use hardware rated for the lumber it touches. The parts you never see are the parts that decide whether a deck lasts ten years or thirty.
Most Longview jobs we take are either a full rebuild of a deck that has gone soft, or a new build off the back of a house that never had one. We handle permits when the job needs them, and we build to Washington code because we are licensed here and inspected here.
Materials are your call. Composite decking costs more up front and gives back the weekends you would have spent staining. Cedar and pressure-treated framing still make sense on plenty of jobs. We will walk your yard, talk through what fits your budget, and give you a written estimate before anything gets ordered.

Decks & Patios questions in Longview
How much does a deck cost in Longview, WA?
It depends on size, height off the ground, decking material and railing. A ground-level pressure-treated deck is the low end and a raised composite deck with a cover and stairs is the high end. Send me the dimensions and a photo and I will give you a written number, or run the free deck estimator on this site for a range.
Do you build composite decks, Trex decks and cedar decks?
Yes. Trex, TimberTech and other composite decking, cedar, and pressure-treated. Composite costs more up front and needs no staining. Cedar and pressure-treated still make sense on plenty of jobs. I will walk through both before anything is ordered.
Do you do deck repair and deck replacement, or only new decks?
All three. A lot of Longview calls are a soft board or a loose railing. Sometimes the framing is sound and only the surface and fasteners need replacing. Sometimes the ledger or a post base has been taking water for years and the deck is a rebuild. I open it up and tell you which one you have before you price a full teardown.
Do I need a permit for a deck in Longview?
Usually, if it is attached to the house or more than 30 inches off the ground. The City of Longview permits decks inside city limits and Cowlitz County handles the rest. I pull the permit, and the drawing it needs is the same drawing I build from.
Can you add a cover, a pergola or a railing to my existing deck?
Yes, if the framing under it can carry the load. A cover or pergola adds weight and wind uplift, so the posts have to land on structure that was built for them. Railings get replaced or added to current code height. I check the framing first and tell you what it will take.
