The Neal's Custom Deck Project - Tacoma, WA

Custom Deck Builder Tacoma Washington

The Neal’s custom deck project was completed in the summer of 2020 and is located right here in North Tacoma. The best part of the build is that the job was located only 10 blocks away from our shop, so the commute was pretty great! The deck itself is built with a beautiful South American hardwood called Ipe, that we treated with aptly named Ipe Oil. The decks overall footprint is 16’ x 18’, including the wrap around step. The step has 9 bronze dimmable LED step lights to help illuminate the space in the evenings and make the steps easy to see in the dark.

In between the house and the garage there was an open space that the client wanted us to help divide, so we landed on building a modern horizontal privacy screen with alternating 2” + 4” rough cut 1” boards, and above the wall we included a small covered pergola structure to keep the built in custom seating below dry. The built in bench is constructed with the same Ipe wood as the deck, and includes a hinged seat allowing for storage underneath the bench. The wall and pergola was constructed with all rough cut wester red cedar.
