Cedar & Stone replaced the siding on our Portland home and coordinated the trim and flashing at the same time. The exterior finally looks designed instead of patched, and it has held up through a full season of Oregon rain.
A deck should feel like part of the home, not a platform tacked onto the back of it. Cedar & Stone helps Portland homeowners plan deck projects that improve outdoor living while connecting cleanly to the siding, trim, doors, stone, and yard around them.
Or call (503) 926-3045 to discuss your deck project.
Good deck design starts with use. Some homeowners need a better place to grill and eat outside. Others want a safer replacement for an aging deck, a cleaner transition from the kitchen, or a more finished connection between the house and yard.
Cedar & Stone helps evaluate the deck footprint, stairs, railings, privacy, material options, and how the deck meets the home. Because we also work with siding and exterior stone, we can think through the details where the deck attaches to the exterior.
It may be time to discuss deck replacement if you notice soft or deteriorating boards, loose railings or unstable stairs, or water issues where the deck meets the home.
A layout that no longer fits how you use the yard, heavy maintenance requirements, or an older deck that looks disconnected from an updated exterior are all good reasons to plan something better.
Safety concerns should be addressed promptly. Design concerns can often be solved during the same planning process, so the deck ends up safer and more usable at once.
Portland deck planning should account for rain, shade, traction, moss and algae exposure, drainage under and around the deck, and the way water moves where the structure meets the house.
