Wood Deck Builder in the Portland Metro Area
Cedar & Ipe Deck Installation | PNW ALL Residential
PNW ALL Residential specializes in custom wood deck construction throughout the Portland Metro Area, offering high-quality materials like cedar and ipe for homeowners who want a natural, timeless outdoor space.
We design and build wood decks that are both structurally sound and visually striking, built to handle the Pacific Northwest climate.
Custom Wood Decks Built for the Portland Climate
In the Portland Metro Area, decks are exposed to rain, moisture, and seasonal changes. Choosing the right wood—and installing it correctly—makes all the difference.
We build decks using proven materials that perform well in the Pacific Northwest, while also providing guidance on maintenance and longevity.
Cedar Decking Installation
Cedar is one of the most popular decking materials in the Portland area due to its balance of beauty, affordability, and natural resistance to the elements.
Benefits of Cedar Decking:
- Naturally resistant to rot and insects
- Lightweight and easy to work with
- Warm, natural appearance
- More affordable than most hardwoods
Things to Consider:
- Requires regular staining and sealing
- Softer wood—can scratch or dent over time
- Lifespan typically 10–15 years with maintenance
Cedar is a great choice for homeowners who want a classic wood look at a reasonable price point.
Ipe Decking Installation (Premium Hardwood)
Ipe (pronounced ee-pay) is a high-end tropical hardwood known for its extreme durability and longevity.
Benefits of Ipe Decking:
- Extremely dense and durable
- Naturally resistant to rot, insects, and moisture
- Lifespan of 25–50+ years
- Rich, high-end appearance
Things to Consider:
- Higher material and labor cost
- Requires specialized tools and installation methods
- Can be maintained to preserve color or left to naturally gray
Ipe is ideal for homeowners looking for a premium, long-lasting deck with minimal structural concerns over time.
Other Wood Decking Options We Offer
We also build decks using:
- Pressure-treated lumber (budget-friendly structural option)
- Redwood (limited availability in the PNW)
- Other hardwoods upon request
We’ll help you choose the right material based on your budget, design goals, and maintenance expectations.
Wood Deck Maintenance in the Portland Metro Area
Unlike composite decking, wood decks require regular upkeep to perform well in the Pacific Northwest.
Typical Maintenance Includes:
- Cleaning and debris removal
- Staining and sealing every 1–3 years
- Periodic inspections for moisture damage
Proper maintenance is key to extending the life of your wood deck and keeping it looking its best.
