If you're searching for a deck builder near Sammamish, Bellevue, Issaquah, or Mercer Island, you're likely asking:

• Can I find a contractor who handles everything—from demo to design to outdoor kitchens?

🧠 10 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Deck Builder

1. Are You Licensed, Bonded, and Insured in Washington?

Yes. We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured—giving you peace of mind and full compliance with local codes. Our license number is #ECOLUCL845DM.

2. What Materials Do You Recommend for the PNW Climate?

We recommend TimberTech AZEK Vintage Collection for its:

• Moisture resistance (no wood in the core)

• Fade and stain warranties up to 50 years

• Cortex plugs and seamless corners for a modern, streamlined look

• Low maintenance and cooler surface temperatures than traditional composites

Prefer cedar? We offer it at $28/sf, but AZEK is our top choice for longevity and beauty.

3. What’s Your Pricing Structure?

• Framing: ~$14/sf

• AZEK Vintage decking: ~$35/sf

• Cedar decking: ~$28/sf

• Covered structures: ~$32/sf (includes average framing, sheathing, underlayment, shingles)

These are averages. Pricing will vary based on materials and design complexity and fluctuations in material.

4. Do You Handle Permits and Project Planning?

Yes. We manage everything from site prep and permitting to demo, framing, and final build. You’ll have one point of contact from start to finish.

5. Can You Build Full Outdoor Living Spaces?

Absolutely. We specialize in:

• Gas line extensions for BBQs, firepits, and heaters

• Electrical for lighting, climate control, and entertainment

• Custom covers and pergolas with hemlock soffits (durable, light-toned, and cost-effective)

• Outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, and entertainment zones

6. Do You Offer Custom Design Features?

Yes. We plan decks with complete customization. Based upon your budget, your options can be endless. Most common deck features include:

• Picture frame borders and breaker boards

• Seamless stairs with fascia

• Cable, aluminum, or glass railing systems

• Modern corner detailing for a clean, architectural finish

7. Do You Use Subcontractors?

Yes—but only selectively. At Endura Decking Co, we have our own experienced crews who handle the majority of projects from demo to finish. For specialty trades like gas lines, electrical, and structural engineering, we partner with a trusted network of subcontractors who meet our exacting standards for craftsmanship and professionalism. Every project is fully managed by our team to ensure seamless coordination, clear communication, and top-tier results.

8. What’s the Timeline?

Most of our projects take 2 to 4 weeks once designs are finalized, materials are ordered, and you're officially on our schedule. The exact timing depends on the size and complexity of the build, weather conditions, and any custom features like outdoor kitchens, gas lines, or covered structures.

Here’s a general breakdown:

• Design & Planning: 1–2 weeks (depending on revisions and permitting)

• Scheduling & Materials Procurement: 1–2 weeks (AZEK materials and custom components may vary)

• Build Phase: 2–4 weeks for typical projects, including framing, decking, stairs, and railing

• Add-ons (if included): Additional time for covers, lighting, gas hookups, etc.

We manage the full process—from demo to final walkthrough—so you’re never juggling contractors or wondering what comes next.

9. Do You Offer Warranties?

Yes. If you choose TimberTech AZEK decking, you’ll receive one of the strongest warranties in the industry:

• Up to 50 years of fade and stain coverage (AZEK Vintage Collection)

• Lifetime limited structural warranty

• Coverage includes splitting, splintering, rotting, and cracking
