A deck should outlast the weather that tests it. SCR designs and builds custom cedar, composite, and hardwood decks across Snohomish, King & Skagit Counties — engineered for the Northwest and finished by craftsmen who know wood.
Anyone can lay decking boards. What determines whether a deck lasts two decades or starts failing in five is everything underneath — the footings, the posts, the framing, the ledger connection to the house, and the flashing that keeps water out of all of it. In a climate that rains as much as ours, that structure is the whole game.
We build from the ground up the way we build fine woodwork: properly, with the right materials and connections, so the deck stays solid and safe long after the newness wears off. Then we finish it with the clean detail work you\u2019d expect from a custom shop.
We start with how you actually want to use the space — entertaining, dining, a hot tub, a quiet morning coffee — and design a deck that fits your home, your yard, and your budget.
We handle permitting and any structural engineering so the build is done right and to code.
Proper footings, posts, and framing are what separate a deck that lasts twenty years from one that sags in five — especially in our wet climate. This is where craftsmanship shows.
We install your chosen decking and railings and finish the details — the clean lines, tight miters, and hidden fasteners that make a deck look built, not assembled.
Every deck is different because every home and homeowner is. A few of the directions we build in:
Naturally rot- and insect-resistant, beautiful, and a true Northwest classic. Warm underfoot and stunning when finished — with periodic upkeep to keep it that way.
Low-maintenance boards that stand up to our rain and won’t splinter, warp, or need staining. A favorite for busy homeowners.
Ipe and similar dense hardwoods offer exceptional longevity and a premium look for homeowners who want the very best.
Cable, metal, glass, and wood railing systems, plus integrated deck lighting — the details that define how a deck feels at night.
Covered decks, pergolas, and multi-level layouts that extend your usable outdoor season through a Northwest year.
Replacing a failing, rotted, or unsafe deck — we assess the structure and rebuild it properly rather than patching over problems.
Not sure which is right for you? Explore the three ways we build — cedar, composite, and elevated — each with real project examples and the details that make it last.

It depends on your priorities. Cedar is beautiful and classic but wants regular upkeep in our wet climate. Composite (like Trex) costs more up front but shrugs off rain and needs almost no maintenance. Tropical hardwoods are premium and extremely durable. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs for your budget and how you’ll use the deck.
A typical deck runs a couple of weeks of build time once permits are in hand, depending on size, materials, and complexity. We’ll give you a realistic timeline with your estimate.
Yes — we manage permitting and any required engineering as part of the project so the deck is built to code and inspected properly.
Yes. We assess the existing structure — footings, framing, ledger connection — and either repair what’s sound or rebuild what isn’t. Safety and proper structure come first; we don’t cosmetically cover failing framing.
We come out of a custom timber and millwork background — this crew mills and builds fine woodwork, so the framing is right and the finish details are clean. You get craftsmanship, not a production-line deck.
Let’s talk through the space, the materials, and the budget. Free estimates, no pressure.
