Orca Roofing & Exteriors is a licensed deck replacement contractor serving homeowners throughout King and Pierce County. Whether you’re replacing an aging structure or building from scratch, our team handles everything — permits, material selection, full construction, and final inspection — with transparent pricing and no subcontracted surprises.
Not all decking materials perform equally in Western Washington. Our climate — wet winters, UV summers, and temperature swings — demands specific material specs and hardware ratings. We work with five proven options and recommend each one based on your site conditions, budget, and how you use your outdoor space.As a trusted deck replacement contractor, Orca offers high-quality materials for every deck installation:
Naturally rot-resistant and easy to work with, Western red cedar is the traditional choice for Pacific Northwest decks. With proper sealing every 2–3 years, a cedar deck can last 20–25 years.
Trex is the most widely specified composite decking product in King County for good reason — it resists moisture, rot, and UV fading, requires only annual cleaning, and carries a 25-year warranty.
As a preferred Aspire by Brava contractor, we install these slip-resistant composite pavers for ground-level applications and rooftop deck surfaces. Made from recycled materials, they’re exceptionally durable.
100% synthetic PVC is the most moisture-resistant option available — ideal for covered decks, docks, or any installation with chronic water exposure. Won’t rot, warp, or absorb moisture.
Not sure which material is right for your project? Our decking material options guide compares every option side by side — including long-term cost, maintenance requirements, and PNW performance data.
As a trusted deck replacement contractor, we deliver high-quality deck installation and replacement services.
Licensed with Washington State L&I. 200+ deck projects completed across King and Pierce County. We build full replacements — not just surface repairs
We inspect ledger connections, post bases, and footing integrity on every project — the failure points most contractors skip
We design for your specific lot — slope, drainage, HOA requirements, and sun exposure — not a template layout
Every estimate itemizes labor, materials (with specific product names), permits, demolition, and cleanup. No single-number bids.
Your project manager is your direct line from first assessment through county inspection. No switching contacts mid-project.
We start with a full structural evaluation — not just the surface boards. We inspect the ledger board connection, post bases, joist condition, and footing integrity. In the Pacific Northwest, water intrusion behind the ledger is the most common cause of premature deck failure, and we assess it on every project before design begins.
We walk you through material options based on your site conditions — sun exposure, slope, drainage, and moisture levels. You receive a line-item estimate covering labor, materials (with specific product names and grades), permit fees, demolition if applicable, and cleanup. No single-number bids, no hidden costs.
We pull all required permits through King or Pierce County — you don’t manage any paperwork. For replacements, we handle safe demolition of the existing structure and haul everything away. Permit approval typically takes 2–4 weeks; we coordinate the timeline so construction starts the moment we’re cleared.
Our crew uses corrosion-resistant hardware rated for Pacific Northwest moisture exposure throughout — not standard steel that corrodes within 3–5 years in our climate. Every project closes with a county inspection and our own walkthrough to verify every connection and railing.
Deck pricing in the greater Seattle area is driven by material choice, square footage, structural complexity, and whether demolition is required. Here are honest 2026 ranges for licensed, permitted projects in our service area:
$18–$28 per sq ft — Cedar or pressure-treated, ground-level, standard framing
$28–$45 per sq ft — Composite or PVC (Trex, TimberTech), standard complexity
$45–$70+ per sq ft — Elevated builds, sloped lots, custom railings, premium composite
For a full breakdown of what drives these numbers, see our deck replacement cost guide.
We build and replace decks throughout the greater Seattle metro. Our crews are based locally and familiar with permitting requirements, neighborhood HOA standards, and the specific site conditions — slope, drainage, and sun exposure — that vary significantly across our service area.
Bellevue’s hillside lots and Eastside neighborhoods — Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish, Issaquah — present elevated deck challenges that require engineered footing designs and moisture-resistant specifications. We’re familiar with King County permitting and HOA requirements across Newport Hills, Bridle Trails, and Somerset.
From Tacoma’s established neighborhoods to Puyallup, Federal Way, and the Lake Tapps area, we handle deck projects of all sizes throughout Pierce County. We’re one of the most active deck replacement contractors in the South Sound — familiar with local permitting timelines and site conditions.
We serve Seattle proper — from Mercer Island and Renton to the broader North King County corridor. Seattle’s dense lot conditions and strict building codes require contractors who know the permitting process — we handle it entirely on your behalf.
Deck replacement in King and Pierce County runs $18–$28 per sq ft for cedar or pressure-treated builds, $28–$45 for composite or PVC (Trex, TimberTech), and $45–$70+ for elevated or sloped-lot builds.

Composite decking — Trex or TimberTech — performs best in PNW conditions. Both resist moisture, rot, and UV without annual sealing, and carry 25+ year warranties. Cedar is a great natural option with regular maintenance. PVC is best for covered or high-moisture areas.
Yes. We pull all required permits through King or Pierce County on your behalf. Permits cost $500–$1,500 depending on scope and take 2–4 weeks for approval. You handle no paperwork.
Standard replacements take 5–10 business days of construction, plus 2–4 weeks for permit approval. Complex builds — elevated decks, multi-level, custom railings — run 2–4 weeks of construction. Weather delays are common October through April.
If the structural framing is sound, repairs can add 10–15 years of life. If posts, joists, or the ledger show rot — or repair costs approach 50–60% of replacement cost — replacement is the smarter investment. We assess the full structure on our first visit and give you a straight answer.
We serve King and Pierce County — Bellevue, Seattle, Tacoma, Kirkland, Redmond, Issaquah, Sammamish, Puyallup, Mercer Island, Renton, Federal Way, and surrounding areas.
