Elevated Decks: Expanding Your Outdoor Living Area

Elevated decks provide an exceptional way to expand outdoor living in the Pacific Northwest, where maximizing views and creating functional spaces are key. At Evergreen Deck & Fence, serving Seattle and surrounding areas, our experts specialize in crafting elevated decks that combine structural integrity, aesthetic appeal, and practical features to suit your lifestyle and enhance your property. Whether you envision a private retreat with views of Seattle’s skyline or a versatile, entertaining space overlooking Lake Washington, our expertise ensures that your deck is built to last and made with the highest quality.

An elevated deck is more than just extra space; it’s a functional addition that transforms your home’s outdoor potential:

  • Stunning Views and Privacy: Elevated decks create a scenic vantage point, ideal for Seattle’s unique landscapes. From urban skylines to lush backyard greenery, our elevated decks showcase your property’s best features.
  • Added Outdoor Living Space: Elevated decks double your usable area, providing space for lounging above while creating a sheltered space below for storage, gardening, or a cozy underdeck patio.
  • Enhanced Home Value: Professionally built decks increase your property’s appeal. In Seattle, an elevated deck is an asset, blending utility and beauty in a way that attracts future buyers.


At Evergreen Deck & Fence, we don’t just build decks. We design each to balance function and aesthetics, crafting a custom addition that complements your Seattle home and reflects your unique vision. Your deck is not just a structure; it’s an expression of your lifestyle, and we ensure it’s a perfect fit for you.

Planning the Perfect Elevated Deck

Building an elevated deck in Seattle’s varied landscape requires careful planning and thoughtful design. Here’s how we approach each project:

  • Site Assessment and Design Consultation: Our team assesses your property’s unique traits, including slope, soil, drainage, and exposure to Seattle’s seasonal rain and sunlight. We work closely with you to plan a deck that seamlessly integrates with your property.
  • Material Selection: We offer materials that withstand Seattle’s wet climate, including composite, pressure-treated wood, and durable hardwoods like Ipe and cedar. Each option is carefully selected for both durability and aesthetic appeal.
  • Permits and Code Compliance: Elevated decks in Seattle often require strict building codes. Our team handles all permitting processes, ensuring your deck meets safety standards for everything from railing heights to structural support.

Premium Elevated Deck Materials for Strength and Style

At Evergreen Deck & Fence, we know that choosing the right materials is essential for a deck that stands up to Seattle’s climate while maintaining its beauty:

Pressure-Treated Wood

  • This durable, cost-effective option resists rot, decay, and insect damage. It is excellent for homeowners who appreciate natural wood’s look and are comfortable with regular maintenance.
  • Maintenance: Requires sealing and staining every 2-3 years for color retention and weather protection.
  • Best for: Traditional look with hands-on maintenance.


Composite Decking

  • Composite is a long-lasting, low-maintenance material resistant to splintering, fading, and moisture—ideal for Seattle’s rainy seasons.
  • Maintenance: Minimal, usually limited to occasional cleaning.
  • Best for: Those who want wood’s look without ongoing upkeep.


Cedar and Redwood

  • Naturally resistant to rot and pests, cedar and redwood offer a beautiful, rustic appeal and are a good fit for Seattle’s cool, damp climate.
  • Maintenance: Regular staining is recommended to keep color; can be left untreated for a weathered look.
  • Best for: A classic, refined appearance with moderate maintenance.


Tropical Hardwoods (Ipe, Mahogany)

  • Tropical hardwoods are dense and durable, naturally resisting decay, insects, and wear. They add a premium touch to any deck.
  • Maintenance: Requires oiling to maintain its rich color or can be left to develop a silver patina.
  • Best for: Those wanting high-end durability and a unique, elegant appearance.


At Evergreen Deck & Fence, we understand that every homeowner has unique preferences and requirements. That’s why we guide you through material selection, ensuring your deck’s look and performance meet Seattle’s demands and your personal preferences. We work closely with you to design a deck that enhances your property and reflects your vision.

Support Structures for Safe, Sturdy Elevated Decks

With Seattle’s weather and landscape in mind, Evergreen Deck & Fence takes a sturdy approach to foundation and support structures:

  • Footings and Piers: We use reinforced concrete footings or helical piles driven deep to prevent shifting due to soil moisture or freezing temperatures.
  • Ledger Board Installation: The ledger board anchors your deck to your home’s structure, providing a secure foundation. We use bolts for a safe, stable connection that withstands Seattle’s rainy and windy weather.
  • Sturdy Support Posts: Treated wood or composite support posts offer weather-resistant stability, ensuring a level, durable structure.


Our structural approach provides a safe, long-lasting elevated deck that enhances your property for years, even in Seattle’s variable climate.

Elevated Deck Framing and Decking Done Right

Framing and decking are key to a solid, stylish, elevated deck. Here’s our approach:

  • Precision Framing: Our joists are spaced for stability, with added blocking to prevent shifting. We use larger beams for elevated decks, ensuring extra support for heavier materials.
  • Decking Patterns: Our team offers several decking patterns—from standard horizontal to herringbone and diagonal—to add character to your Seattle deck.
  • Secure Fastening: We use premium fasteners and secure each board with precise spacing to promote drainage and reduce issues from Seattle’s high humidity.

Secure Railings, Stairs, and Drainage for Your Elevated Deck

Safety is our top priority, especially for elevated decks. Our designs incorporate a range of safety features, from custom railing options to secure stairs and landings, ensuring your deck is beautiful and functional and meets Seattle’s building codes, providing you with peace of mind.

  • Custom Railing Options: We offer wood, metal, glass, and cable railings, each selected for safety and aesthetic appeal.
  • Stairs and Landings: Our stairs are built for safe, easy access, with secure railings and custom landings.
  • Underdeck Drainage: To maximize usability, we install drainage systems, keeping the area below dry for storage or an additional seating area.


These features provide a safe, beautiful, and functional deck that meets Seattle’s building codes and complements your home.

Customize Your Elevated Deck with Unique Features

At Evergreen Deck & Fence, your vision is our priority. Here’s how we customize your deck to meet your needs:

  • Pergolas and Shade Structures: A pergola creates shade and defines your deck space, perfect for enjoying Seattle’s sunny days.
  • Integrated Lighting: From ambient deck lighting to stair safety lights, our lighting solutions make your deck inviting day and night.
  • Landscaping and Skirting: With skirting options like lattice and integrated landscaping, your deck seamlessly blends with Seattle’s lush surroundings.
