Composite & cedar decks
Decks built for the rain.
New decks, rebuilds, resurfacing and repairs, from low platforms to rooftop and second-storey decks with stairs. Composite for no upkeep, wood for the natural look.
Composite & cedar decks
Every kind of deck. One crew.
Most of what we build is decks: ground-level platforms off the back door, elevated decks off a kitchen, garage-top decks and multi-level decks that step down a sloped lot. We frame it, board it, rail it and build the stairs, so the whole thing comes from one crew with one price.

Real jobs. Real yards.
Composite or wood?
Two good answers. One fits you.
We build both, every week. Here's the straight comparison we give at every estimate.
Wood & cedar
Real wood, Northwest grown.
- Warm, natural grain and smell
- Naturally resists rot and insects
- Lower cost to build
- Wants a clean and seal every few years

5.0 on Thumbtack (40 reviews), Google and Yelp
“Great experience working with [the Black Bear team]. Their mighty crew was professional, punctual, and very skilled. It’s very obvious they take pride in their work, which shows in perfectly aligned corners, clean cuts, clean workspace, and very respectful demeanor. The pricing was competitive compared to four other quotes.”
Masha D. · Thumbtack, October 2026
“They completed my rooftop deck—over 630 sq. ft. including the stairs and lighting—in about a week, and I’m very happy with how everything turned out. … One thing I really appreciated was how transparent [the owner] was with the pricing. He clearly explained the material, labor, and waste costs, so there were no surprises.”
Sam C. · Thumbtack, August 2026
“I have 2 decks replaced by Black Bear Deck and Fencing and what an amazing job they did. I asked for some specific type of planters to be built into the back deck and they did an excellent job. My decks are beautiful.”

Common questions
Composite & cedar decks: questions.
Straight answers on cost, timing and materials for decks and fences in the Pacific Northwest. Still wondering? Call or text (425) 953-7012.
Can you resurface my deck instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. If the posts, beams and joists are sound, we can put new composite or cedar boards and new railing on the existing frame. We check the framing at the estimate and tell you honestly whether resurfacing or a rebuild is the right call.
Do you build second-storey and multi-level decks?
Yes. Elevated decks off upper floors, garage-top decks and multi-level decks on sloped lots are a big part of our work, including the stairs and railing.
Can you add planters, benches or lighting?
Yes. Built-in planters, seating and post or stair lighting can be framed into the deck. Tell us what you have in mind at the estimate.
