Ledger first
The board where the deck meets the house is the usual rot point in this climate. We flash and waterproof that joint before any decking goes down.
MERCER ISLAND · DECKS
Decks in Mercer Island, WA
Composite and cedar decks, covered patios, railings and refinishing for wet winters. For Mercer Island — Island-wide, including waterfront properties — Island lots take weather from the lake and scrutiny from the design review. A cable rail and a composite color are an application, not just a preference.

What we include
- Tear-out of a failed deck when the framing is no longer worth saving
- Footings, beams and joists sized for the span and the slope
- Ledger flashing and a drained connection at the house
- Decking, stairs, railings and privacy screens in the same scope
- A written schedule, usually 6–12 days once materials are on site
Local notes

Questions
Before you call
Do you work in Island-wide, including waterfront properties?
Yes. Design-sensitive streets, wind off the lake, and HOAs that read material samples closely. If you are nearby in Redmond, Issaquah or Newcastle, ask — those addresses are in the same service area.
How long does a deck take to build?
Most deck projects run 6–12 days depending on size and whether an old deck needs to come out first. Stairs, built-ins or a cover push toward the longer end. The written estimate includes the schedule.
