It starts below the ground.
Footings are sized and placed for your soil, the deck's load and local code. Get this wrong and nothing above it lasts.

01Custom decksEvery Built Better deck is designed around your home, your yard and how you actually use the space.
02Composite & PVC decksComposite and PVC boards won't rot, splinter or need staining, which is exactly what you want after an Oregon winter.
03Deck replacement & remodelsSoft boards, wobbly rails or a frame that's had its day?
04Covered decks & pergolasIn Oregon a cover turns a summer deck into a year-round room.
05Deck railings & stairsCode requires a guard on any deck 30 inches or more above the ground, but the railing you choose decides how your view looks.
06Commercial workA big part of what we do is commercial.Oregon is hard on decks. Rain on the coast, snow in Bend, wet winters in Portland. Most decks fail from what you can't see underneath. So we build the frame like it matters, then put a deck on top you'll actually want to live on.

How we buildWatch it
Watch it
go up.
Scroll and the deck builds itself, layer by layer, the same way our crew builds yours.
01/08Footings
Posts that stay put.
Set plumb on proper hardware so the load goes straight down. Wood or steel, depending on your framing package.
Beams sized for the span.
So the deck feels solid underfoot, with no bounce. Where it meets your house, the ledger is flashed to keep water out.
The frame you never see.
Wood, steel or composite framing, spaced for your decking and hung on proper hardware. This is where cheap decks cut corners.
Boards that last.
Composite, PVC or hardwood. Laid straight, gapped right and fastened clean.
Rails you can lean on.
Required at 30 inches and up. Aluminum picket, stainless cable or frameless glass.
Stairs built even.
Every step the same height, solid underfoot and built to code.
Then the roof over it.
Timberframe porch, Acrylite porch, or a wood or metal pergola. Use the deck through an Oregon winter.

Yes. Built Better Construction LLC is licensed in Oregon (CCB #248552) and Washington (CCB #BUILTBC759LF).
Our minimum is $10,000 including materials and labor. That lets us give every project the time and crew it deserves.
We give you the estimate in person, on the spot, at the site visit.
Most raised and attached decks and porch covers do. We handle it as part of the job. Permitting usually takes 2 to 10 weeks depending on how complex the build is.
Code generally requires a guard on any deck 30 inches or more above the ground. Below that it's your choice.
The Portland metro including Lake Oswego, West Linn and Newberg, Bend and Sunriver in Central Oregon, and the Oregon Coast. Building somewhere else? Call us and ask.
Composite is the low maintenance all-rounder, PVC is the most moisture resistant premium board, and hardwood is real wood with the richest look but needs oiling to keep its colour. We'll walk you through it at the site visit.
No. Every job is built by our own crew.
