Deck and Outdoor Living Builder in Renton, WA
Renton has a deck for every era, from small post-war platforms behind Highlands bungalows to 1990s decks in Fairwood that are now due for replacement. A lot of our Renton work is repair and replacement, done to a standard the original builders did not use: flashed ledgers, taped joists and footings to current code. Renton is about twenty-five minutes from our shop.

Renton permits for decks
Renton's Community and Economic Development department permits elevated decks, roofed structures and hot tub decks. Lots near the Cedar River, May Creek and Lake Washington may fall under critical-area or shoreline rules, and parts of the lower Cedar River are in the flood plain. HOAs in Fairwood and East Renton review exterior changes. We handle both. What the city reviews, and how long it takes, is in our deck permit guide.
Things we design around in Renton
- Aging ledgers and footings on older decks.
- Shoreline rules in Kennydale.
- Flood-plain elevation rules near the lower Cedar River.
- HOA requirements in southeast Renton subdivisions.

Renton deck and patio questions
Can you repair my old deck instead of replacing it?
If the framing is sound, yes. We inspect and price both options. See Deck Repair & Inspection.
My deck has no permit record. Is that a problem?
It can be at sale. A replacement with a permit resolves it; an older deck can sometimes be inspected and documented.
Is my Kennydale lot in the shoreline zone?
If it is close to the lake, likely yes. We check before design.
