Common Types of Decks

Not every deck is the same, and your outdoor space deserves a solution tailored to how you actually use it. Here in the Gervais area, we build a wide range of deck styles to fit different homes, budgets, and lifestyles.

Composite Decks – Made from engineered materials like Trex, TimberTech, and Dekorators, composite decks resist rot, fading, and insect damage. They require virtually no staining or sealing and look great for decades.

Wood Decks – Natural cedar and pressure-treated lumber remain popular choices for homeowners who love the warmth and character of real wood. Cedar is naturally resistant to moisture and decay, making it an excellent fit for Oregon’s climate.

PVC Decking – PVC boards are fully synthetic, lightweight, and extremely resistant to moisture. They’re an ideal option for covered decks or areas that see heavy rain.

Covered Decks – Adding a roof structure over your deck extends your outdoor living season well into Oregon’s rainy months, giving you a dry space to enjoy year-round.

Multi-Level and Custom Decks – For larger properties or sloped yards around Gervais, multi-level decks create distinct zones for dining, lounging, and entertaining.

Things to Consider When Getting a New Deck for Your Home

Building a new deck is an investment in your home and your quality of life. Before you start, it helps to think through a few key factors so the finished product matches your expectations.



• Material choice matters. Composite boards from brands like Trex and TimberTech last longer and need less upkeep than wood, but natural cedar offers a timeless look at a lower upfront cost.
  
  
• Think about how you’ll use the space. A deck designed for weekend grilling and family dinners has different requirements than one built for a hot tub or outdoor kitchen.
  
  
• Oregon building codes and permits vary by county. Working with a licensed contractor in the Gervais area ensures your deck is built to code and properly permitted.
  
  
• Railing style and deck lighting are finishing touches that impact both safety and curb appeal. We offer a variety of railing systems and integrated lighting options.
  
  
• Deck size and layout should complement your home’s architecture and the natural slope of your yard.
  
  
• Consider long-term maintenance. Composite and PVC decks save you time and money over the years compared to wood, which needs periodic staining and sealing.

Cost of Deck Building in Gervais, Oregon

The cost of a new deck in the Gervais area depends on several factors, including the size of the deck, the materials you choose, and any custom features like built-in seating, railings, or lighting. As a general guide:

• Pressure-treated wood decks typically start at a lower price point and are a solid choice for budget-conscious homeowners.
  
  
• Cedar decks fall in the mid-range, offering natural beauty and durability without the premium price of composite.
  
  
• Composite and PVC decks from brands like Trex, TimberTech, and Dekorators have a higher upfront cost but require far less maintenance over their lifespan.
  
  
• Covered decks and custom features such as pergolas, outdoor kitchens, or multi-level designs will increase the total investment.
