Pacific Northwest Decks builds outdoor spaces in Spokane, Coeur d’Alene, and the surrounding area for people who want their backyard to become a place they actually look forward to using. From custom decks and full replacements to resurfacing, railing, lighting, roof covers, pergolas, privacy walls, stairs, and hardscape patios, we help you think through the whole space and build something that adds real value to your life.
Some deck problems can be corrected. Others are signs that the structure is at the end of its life. We focus on structural deck repair when the work will meaningfully improve the deck’s safety and remaining life. That can include framing issues, footings, stairs, connections, or other structural problems. If the deck is poorly built, rotting, or will keep needing repairs, we will recommend replacement as the better option.
The existing structure stays in place while the decking, railing, fascia, lighting, finish details, and stairs are replaced. Resurfacing only belongs on a deck with a frame worth keeping. If the frame is likely to become unsafe before the new materials reach the end of their life, we would recommend replacement instead.
Railing is a code requirement for safety while also shaping the look of the deck. The system you choose affects the view, privacy, and overall design. Steel, aluminum, cable, glass, and custom railing systems each create a different result. Preserving the view is often the main goal, but the right choice depends on the deck, the setting, and how much maintenance you want to take on.
Pergolas, gazebos, and custom shade structures can make an exposed deck or patio more usable without fully covering the space. They add shade, give people a clear place to gather, and allow for details like lighting, privacy screens, heaters, or fans. The right structure depends on how much shade you want, how open you want the space to feel, and how the feature should fit with the rest of the outdoor area.
Privacy walls block the view of a neighbor’s house, cut down wind, and give you a place for details like lighting, shelves, or a TV. Skirting hides the framing under the deck and keeps animals out.
Deck lighting is for people who want to use their space when the sun sets. The goal is not to flood the whole deck with light. It is to place the right lights where they matter most, like stairs, transitions, cooking areas, and places people gather.
A patio gives you a solid ground-level space that connects the deck to the rest of the outdoor area. Hardscape patios are useful for hot tubs, grills, lower seating areas, and pathways to the firepit or pool. The right patio depends on the space, grade, and drainage.
Covered Decks & Roof Covers
A roof cover changes how often the space can be used. It protects from sun, rain, and snow while creating a more comfortable place to sit, cook, or gather outside. The right cover depends on the deck, the house, and how much of the space you want protected. Done well, it brings the comfort of the living room outside.
Custom Deck Stairs
Deck stairs connect the deck to the rest of the outdoor space. The right stair design depends on the deck height, yard layout, and how the areas connect. We build custom stairs so they are safe, code-compliant, and integrated into the overall design.
Every service connects back to the same goal: creating outdoor spaces that give people a reason to come together, stay longer, and spend more time outside.
Why Choose Us?
Choosing Pacific Northwest Decks means working with an owner-led company that takes on a limited number of projects and holds each one to a clear standard. From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, the goal is to give you honest guidance, a detailed scope, and a finished outdoor space that reflects the level of work you hired us for.
Our process, proposals, and warranties are built around that same standard. You should understand what is included, why certain recommendations are made, and what kind of support stands behind the project after it is finished.
Some clients prefer to spread payments out instead of paying for the full project at once. When available, financing options can be shown directly through our JobTread proposals so you can review estimated monthly payments while looking at the scope of work.
Pacific Northwest Decks does not provide the financing or receive a kickback if you choose to use it. Financing is handled through a third party, and the terms are between you and the lender.
These are the questions people usually ask before starting a deck or outdoor living project. The answers below will help you understand the process, compare options, and decide whether Pacific Northwest Decks is the right fit.
Most deck and outdoor living projects take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months once the build starts. The timeline depends on the size of the project, the scope of work, material lead times, permitting, weather, and site conditions. We give a rough timeline before work begins, but we do not rush the details just to hit an arbitrary date. The goal is to build something we are proud to stand behind.
Yes. Decks are our main focus, but they often lead into larger outdoor spaces. Depending on the project, that can include hardscape patios, retaining walls, fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, lighting, privacy walls, pergolas, and covered areas. The deck usually becomes the center of the project because it extends the living space outside, and the other features are designed around that connection.
We install composite, PVC, porcelain tile decking, Ipe, wood, and other decking products based on the project. Each material has different strengths, costs, maintenance needs, and tradeoffs. Some materials are chosen for low maintenance. Some are chosen for the look. Others are chosen because they perform better around water, heavy use, or specific design goals.
A deck should be replaced when the frame is no longer worth saving. Signs can include rot, unsafe framing, poor original construction, failing footings, or a structure that will need ongoing repairs. Repair or resurfacing only makes sense when the work will meaningfully improve the deck’s safety and remaining life. If the frame is at the end of its life, replacement is the best option.
Deck repair is about correcting structural problems. That can include framing issues, footings, stairs, connections, or damage from poor original construction.
Deck resurfacing keeps the existing frame and replaces the decking, fascia, railing, stairs, lighting, and finish details. Resurfacing only belongs on a deck with a frame worth keeping. If the frame is likely to become unsafe before the new materials reach the end of their life, replacement is the better recommendation.
