Deck Builders in Seattle, WA

Star Construction WA builds composite decks and handles deck resurfacing across Seattle, Bellevue, Mercer Island, Kirkland, Redmond, Bothell, and the rest of the Eastside. We work in new deck construction, deck resurfacing, deck repair, acrylic patio covers, motorized louvered pergolas, retractable awnings, and sunroom and balcony glazing.

Most of our deck work in the Seattle area is composite for a reason. The rain here is hard on wood. Cedar and pressure-treated boards split, warp, and grey out faster than homeowners expect. Composite handles the wet without staining or sealing every other year, which is why we lean on brands like Trex, TimberTech, and Deckorators for almost every build.

We are locally owned, fully licensed and insured, and our main office is in Bothell at 2220 164th Pl SE. Washington State Licensed Contractor #STARCCW791L5.

Enjoy a premium deck building service with these upgrades:

If the frame is solid and the boards are the problem, you don’t need a rebuild. Resurfacing means we swap the boards and railings on top of your existing structure. It usually runs 30 to 50 percent cheaper than starting from scratch.

That’s what most people are really after when they search “deck resurfacing near me.” Decks built in the last 20 years almost always have pressure-treated framing underneath, and that framing outlives the surface by a wide margin. Put new composite on top and the deck looks new. No demo, no permit hassle, no month of construction noise in the backyard.

We check the frame before anything else. If it’s good, we pull the old boards and rails, replace any joists that have gone soft, redo the ledger flashing if it needs it, and put down new composite and railings. If the frame is too far gone to save, we’ll tell you. We don’t resurface decks that should be rebuilt.

Reasons people call us for resurfacing:

• Cedar or pressure-treated boards that split or cupped after a few wet winters
• Faded, sun-bleached sections on the south and west sides
• Popped nails, rusted screws, soft spots underfoot
• Tired of staining and sealing every other summer
• Want a new look without pulling a permit

Timeline is 3 to 7 days for most jobs, longer if the railings get complicated. Pricing in Seattle and the Eastside is usually between $8,000 and $25,000 for materials and labor.

You might not think of a deck as a great area of your home to showcase your personality, but the truth is, decks can offer a wider variety of design options that you might not initially think of! One of the most prominent components of any deck is its railings, and the style you choose for this critical part of the deck can have a huge impact on the look and feel of your outdoor space. From their obvious utility of keeping people on the deck safe to their influence on your home’s design, you’ll want to take care when choosing your deck railings. Trust the Star Construction WA team to provide you with the right railings to make your deck look amazing.

Star Construction WA is the trusted Seattle name in expert decking services.

Most of the decks we build in Seattle are composite, and the weather is the reason. Deckorators and TimberTech make their boards from wood-plastic blends and pure synthetics designed for moisture and freeze-thaw. The warranties go 25 to 30 years. Seattle gets more than 150 rain days a year, so that warranty matters.

Look at the cost over a decade and the math flips on you. A cedar deck looks great the first year. After that, you’re sanding, staining, and sealing it every 18 to 24 months at roughly $1,200 to $1,800 a cycle. Add in the board replacements and the repairs, and ten years in, the “cheaper” wood deck has usually cost more than composite. That’s not counting the weekends you spent doing it.

Resale is the other thing. Buyers around Seattle, Bellevue, and Mercer Island ask about the deck during inspection, and a warped or rotting wood deck becomes something they negotiate down. Composite still looks fine six months into a listing, which is the difference between a clean sale and a price cut.
