A rooftop deck is a fantastic way to transform underused roof space into a functional, beautiful outdoor area.

It enhances the value of your home, which is perfect for urban areas like Seattle.

Building Your Dream Rooftop Deck in Seattle

Building a rooftop deck involves unique considerations, especially in Seattle’s climate. Here’s how we handle the planning and design:

  • Roof Structure and Load Assessment: Each project begins with assessing your roof’s load-bearing capacity, ensuring it’s safe for decking, furniture, and foot traffic. Older Seattle buildings or converted spaces may require structural reinforcements to support the deck.
  • Permitting and Local Codes: Rooftop decks must comply with Seattle’s building codes, including height restrictions, setbacks, and load limits. Evergreen Deck & Fence manages the permitting process, ensuring every detail is handled professionally and meets city regulations.
  • Weather-Resistant Material Selection: We offer composite decking and treated wood, which resist rot and warping in Seattle’s damp climate. These materials require less maintenance and provide long-lasting durability in wet, variable weather.


Our team designs with Seattle’s distinct architectural styles and environmental factors in mind, ensuring a functional and visually appealing rooftop deck.

Designing a Safe and Stylish Rooftop Deck

Creating a rooftop deck that works with Seattle’s unique climate involves integrating practical features:

  • Waterproofing and Drainage Systems: Proper waterproofing is essential to prevent roof damage. We install high-quality waterproof membranes and drainage systems that channel water away from the deck, protecting both the roof and the deck surface.
  • Safety Railings: Safety is paramount, especially for elevated spaces. At Evergreen Deck & Fence, we understand the importance of safety and offer various railing options, including cable, glass, and mesh, to ensure secure, aesthetically pleasing boundaries that don’t obstruct your view. With our safety features, you can enjoy your rooftop deck with peace of mind.Shade and Privacy Features: Adding pergolas, privacy screens, or retractable shades allows for year-round comfort and privacy, especially in densely populated areas.


These features provide a functional, weather-ready space seamlessly integrating into Seattle’s urban setting.

Inspiring Seattle Rooftop Deck Designs

At Evergreen Deck & Fence, we combine Seattle-inspired design with practical considerations. Here are a few popular styles we recommend:

  • Modern Minimalism: Clean lines, neutral colors, and minimalist furniture create a sleek, contemporary look that complements urban Seattle’s architectural style.
  • Natural Oasis: Incorporating planters with native plants and green spaces can add a Pacific Northwest feel, creating a natural, relaxing vibe that blends with Seattle’s landscape.
  • Multi-Functional Spaces: Consider adding built-in seating, outdoor kitchens, or small fire pits for a versatile deck perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or both.


Our team works with you to incorporate personal touches, ensuring your rooftop deck reflects your tastes and provides a year-round sanctuary in the city.

Choosing the Right Materials for Seattle Rooftop Decks

Choosing materials suited to Seattle’s climate is key to a long-lasting, low-maintenance deck. Here are our top recommendations:

  • Composite Decking: Composite decking is highly durable and resistant to moisture, and it is a popular choice for rooftop decks in Seattle. It maintains its appearance with minimal upkeep, ideal for busy homeowners.
  • Rubber Pavers: These are slip-resistant and provide a softer surface, ideal for safety and comfort. Rubber pavers also have noise-dampening qualities, making them great for multi-family or urban settings.
  • Artificial Turf and Green Roof Elements: Artificial turf offers a soft, natural look without the maintenance needs of real grass. Paired with low-profile green roof options, these can create a lush oasis perfect for the Seattle climate.


Our team guides you in selecting the best materials, considering aesthetics, maintenance, and durability.

Maintenance Guide for Seattle Rooftop Decks

Rooftop decks are easy to maintain with a few simple steps:

  • Routine Cleaning: Regularly sweep away leaves, dirt, and other debris to keep the surface clean and prevent moisture buildup.
  • Waterproofing and Resealing: For wood decks, apply a waterproof sealant every 2-3 years. Composite decks require minimal maintenance but benefit from occasional cleaning with soap and water.
  • Seasonal Inspections: Check drainage systems, railings, and decking for any wear, especially after Seattle’s wet winters, to keep your deck safe and in excellent condition.


Evergreen Deck & Fence also offers maintenance services to help protect your investment and ensure your rooftop deck remains functional and beautiful.
