Quick answer
A new deck on the Seattle Eastside typically costs $45–$110 per square foot installed—roughly $18,000–$44,000 for a 400 sq ft deck—depending on whether you choose pressure-treated, cedar, or composite, and takes 2–4 weeks to build. Pelletier Construction Group is a design-build general contractor that self-performs decks in Kirkland, Bellevue, Redmond, Bothell, Kenmore, and Woodinville.
The approach
A deck is one of the best returns in residential construction: it adds usable living space for a fraction of an indoor addition, and it recoups a strong share at resale. But it only delivers if it's built right from the framing up—proper footings, flashing, and fasteners that stand up to Northwest rain.
As a design-build contractor that self-performs, we handle the whole job: design, permits and engineering, demo, footings, framing, decking, railings, stairs, and lighting. One team, one point of accountability, from layout to the last board.
Whether you're rebuilding a worn-out deck, adding a multi-level outdoor space, or building a covered deck you can use in the rain, we scope it to your yard, your view, and your budget—then build it to last.
What's included
Shape, levels, and flow that fit your yard, your view, and how you'll actually use the space.
Code-compliant footings, posts, beams, and joists—the structure that makes a deck safe and solid.
Composite, cedar, or pressure-treated boards installed with hidden fasteners for a clean finish.
Metal, cable, glass, or wood-and-composite railings that meet code and frame the view.
Stairs, multi-level transitions, and landings designed into the deck from the start.
Post and stair lighting, outlets, and wiring for heaters or a hot tub, done to code.
Pergolas, patio covers, and roofs that extend the season and keep you out of the rain.
Benches, planters, privacy screens, and clean skirting that make the deck feel finished.
Permits and structural engineering managed start to finish so the build is right and inspected.
Decking materials
Material is the biggest driver of deck cost and upkeep. Real Eastside ranges, installed—the estimator will dial in a total for your size and structure.
Pressure-treated
$45–$75 / sq ft
Recoups ~65–83%
Cedar
$55–$95 / sq ft
Recoups ~65–83%
Composite
$60–$110 / sq ft
Recoups ~65–83%
How it goes
We talk goals, scope, and a realistic budget range—so you know where you stand before anyone's drawing plans.
Layout, material selection, permits, and structural engineering where the size or height calls for it.
We remove the old deck or clear the site, then lay out footings and confirm the plan on the ground.
Footings, posts, beams, and joists go in and get inspected before a single board is laid.
Boards install with hidden fasteners, then railings, stairs, and any built-ins bring it together.
We wire lighting, finish the details, punch the list with you, and hand back a deck that's ready to use.
