The form that goes in all the locations
We are your licensed Redmond deck builder, specializing in deck installation, replacement, and renovation for homes across King County — built for Pacific Northwest conditions from day one.
Building from scratch? We assess your lot’s slope, drainage, tree coverage, and sun exposure, then design a deck that performs in Redmond’s climate and meets King County permitting requirements — before a single board goes down.
Deck projects in Redmond require permits through King County or the City of Redmond. We pull all required permits, coordinate inspections, and close the permit before handoff. You don’t manage a single form.
Not every material performs equally in Redmond’s specific conditions. Many Redmond lots in Education Hill, Grass Lawn, and Bear Creek have significant tree coverage — which means sustained shade, moss risk, and moisture retention that changes material selection compared to sunnier Eastside sites. We work with five proven options and recommend each based on your specific lot conditions — not on margin or availability.
Naturally rot-resistant and locally sourced, Western red cedar is a viable choice for well-drained, south-facing Redmond sites with good sun exposure. With biannual sealing, a cedar deck lasts 15–25 years. Not recommended for heavily shaded lots in Education Hill or Grass Lawn where tree coverage creates chronic moisture conditions — composite or PVC is the correct spec for those sites.
The most widely installed composite brand in King County — fully wrapped, fade-resistant, and warranted for 25 years. Trex Transcend is our most commonly specified product for Redmond builds, particularly on shaded lots where moss resistance matters most. Requires only annual cleaning. No staining, no sealing, no splinters. Our Trex decking cost guide covers pricing by board grade in detail.
Premium composite with advanced polymer shell — our recommendation for elevated structures and heavily shaded Redmond lots where moisture exposure is highest. Lifespan of 25–50 years. TimberTech AZEK offers the most realistic wood-grain aesthetics available in composite, which matters for homeowners in Redmond’s wooded neighborhoods replacing a cedar deck and wanting to maintain the natural visual character of their lot.
100% synthetic — zero wood fiber, zero moisture absorption. The right choice for heavily shaded Redmond properties and any site where drainage is a persistent challenge. Higher upfront cost, lowest long-term maintenance requirement — the only material we recommend without reservation for chronically wet or shaded lots in Education Hill, Bear Creek, and Overlake.
As a preferred Aspire by Brava contractor, we install these slip-resistant composite pavers primarily for ground-level deck installations. Made from 95% recycled materials, they require virtually no maintenance and provide superior wet-surface traction — meaningful in Redmond’s nine-month wet season and on lots where falling leaves create slippery surfaces regularly.

Orca Roofing & Exteriors has been building and replacing decks across Redmond and King County for 6 years. We know Redmond’s specific conditions — wooded lots, shaded builds, Education Hill drainage challenges, and King County permitting timelines. Every project gets one dedicated crew, one project manager on site from assessment through final inspection, and fully itemized pricing before you commit to anything.
Our contractor license is verifiable at lni.wa.gov. We carry full liability and workers’ compensation coverage — you’re protected from day one, not just while we’re on site. Before hiring any deck builder in Redmond, verify their L&I license. It takes 30 seconds and protects you from liability if something goes wrong on your property.
We build every deck for Western Washington’s climate — wet winters, UV summers, and everything in between. The materials we spec, the way we frame, and the details we focus on are all chosen for long-term performance in our specific conditions. Not built for a drier climate and hoped it holds up here.
Every estimate breaks down labor, materials with specific product names, permit fees, demolition if applicable, and cleanup. You see every line item before signing anything.
Every Orca deck project comes with a written workmanship warranty. Materials carry their own manufacturer warranties — Trex and TimberTech both warrant their products for 25 years. You get both in writing before we start.

Every Orca deck project follows the same four-step process — designed around King County permitting timelines, Pacific Northwest site conditions, and your specific lot.
We start with a full on-site structural assessment — not just a surface look. On replacement and renovation projects, we inspect the ledger board connection, post bases, joist condition, and footing integrity. In Redmond’s wooded lots, we also evaluate tree root proximity, drainage patterns, slope, and shade coverage before a material or design is proposed. You get a straight answer on what the structure needs — and what it doesn’t.
Based on your site assessment, we walk you through material options — cedar, Trex, TimberTech, PVC, or Aspire Pavers — with honest recommendations based on your lot’s shade level, moisture exposure, drainage, and tree coverage. For Redmond’s heavily shaded lots, we default to fully wrapped composite or PVC — cedar on a chronically shaded site accelerates moss growth and deterioration significantly faster than in sunnier conditions. You receive a fully itemized estimate.
We pull all required permits through King County or the City of Redmond and coordinate the full inspection schedule — you manage zero paperwork. Permit approval in Redmond typically takes 2–4 weeks. We factor this into the timeline from day one so construction begins the moment we’re cleared.
Our crew builds with corrosion-resistant hardware rated for Pacific Northwest moisture exposure throughout — not standard steel that corrodes in 3–5 years in our climate. Every project closes with the required county inspection and our own walkthrough covering every connection, railing, and finish detail. The permit closes before we hand off the project.
Deck pricing in Redmond and King County is driven by material choice, square footage, lot complexity, and whether demolition is required. These are honest installed cost ranges for licensed, permitted projects in King County:
| Installed Cost (per sq ft) | Project Type |
|---|---|
| $18–$28 per sq ft | Cedar or pressure-treated, ground-level, standard framing |
| $28–$42 per sq ft | Composite (Trex, TimberTech), standard complexity |
| $42–$65 per sq ft | Elevated builds, sloped lots, custom railings |
| $65–$85+ per sq ft | Multi-level, engineered footings, premium composite |
Demolition of an existing deck adds $3–$8 per sq ft. King County permits run $500–$1,500 depending on scope. All Orca estimates are fully itemized — no surprises mid-project.

Deck installation in Redmond runs $18–$28 per square foot for cedar on well-drained sites, $28–$42 for composite (Trex, TimberTech), and $42–$65 or more for elevated builds or wooded lots requiring additional drainage engineering. King County permits add $500–$1,500. Demolition adds $3–$8 per square foot. All Orca estimates are fully itemized — no single-number bids. For more information visit our guide about the cost to replace a deck.
Fully wrapped composite — Trex Transcend or TimberTech AZEK — for most shaded Redmond builds. PVC for chronically wet sites and lots with persistent drainage challenges. Cedar is not recommended for heavily shaded lots in Education Hill, Grass Lawn, or Bear Creek — the combination of sustained shade, moisture retention, and moss growth in those conditions shortens cedar’s lifespan to 10–15 years and requires aggressive maintenance to get there.
Renovation — resurfacing with new composite or PVC boards over existing framing — makes sense when the structural framing passes a full inspection. If the joists, posts, and ledger board are sound, resurfacing can add 15–20 years at 40–60% of full replacement cost. On shaded Redmond lots where cedar was originally installed, we often find the framing is still solid while the surface boards have deteriorated — that’s a renovation, not a rebuild. If the framing shows rot or structural compromise, replacement is the only correct answer regardless of surface condition. Visit our guide about repair or replace a deck for more information.
Yes. Most deck builds, replacements, and renovations in Redmond require a permit through King County or the City of Redmond depending on scope and jurisdiction. A contractor who suggests skipping permits creates insurance and resale liability for you. Orca pulls all permits, manages the inspection schedule, and closes the permit before project handoff — you manage zero paperwork.
Many Redmond neighborhoods — particularly in Overlake and parts of Education Hill — have active HOAs with requirements around deck size, material finishes, and railing design. We review your HOA guidelines before finalizing any design and factor HOA pre-approval timelines into the project schedule. If your HOA requires submitted drawings or material samples, we handle that documentation as part of our process.
Yes. We regularly build and replace decks across all of Redmond’s neighborhoods — Education Hill, Grass Lawn, Overlake, Bear Creek, Marymoor, Willows, and the broader Eastside corridor. Each neighborhood has distinct lot conditions our team knows well: Education Hill and Grass Lawn lots often have significant tree coverage that affects drainage and material selection, Overlake has active HOAs with design requirements, and Bear Creek properties vary significantly in slope and sun exposure. We assess each site individually before any recommendation.
