Frequently Asked Questions About Deck & Patio Building

How long does it take to build a deck or patio in Portland? +
Most projects take 1 to 3 weeks from start to finish, depending on size, materials, and weather. We always plan for Portland’s rain and keep you updated on timeline.
Do I need a permit for a deck or patio in Portland, OR? +
Yes, most decks and patios require permits from the City of Portland. We handle the entire permit process for you, including structural engineering if needed, so you’re fully compliant.
What’s the best material for a deck in the Pacific Northwest? +
Composite decking like Trex or PVC is very popular here because it resists moisture, mold, and fading. For wood, Ipe or Western red cedar are durable options if properly sealed.
Can you build a patio on a sloped yard? +
Absolutely. We often use retaining walls, stepped patios, or terraced designs to turn steep yards into usable, beautiful outdoor rooms. We’ll evaluate drainage and soil stability first.
