The Neal's Custom Deck Project - Tacoma, WA
The Neal's Custom Deck Project - Tacoma, WA

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.

The Maui Project - Maui, HI
The Maui Project - Maui, HI

If you’ve been following Wilder, then you know that we typically take a chunk of time off in the winter and leave the cold and rainy PNW. We generally close up shop for a couple months and go live somewhere a little warmer. This past winter (2019) we decided to spend our time on Maui and while we were there we picked up an exterior remodel job.

We first met the Dunn’s in the summer of 2018 when we built them a new modern cedar fence to enclose their property and give some privacy to the wide open back yard. The horizontal fence project turned out great and they said they would be calling us again in the future.

What Type of Decking is Best in Tacoma - Tacoma, WA

People often ask us what type of decking is best to use here in Tacoma, and it’s a tough question to answer simply. It really depends on your budget, design style and location. There are pros and cons to every material, so we thought we could spend some time and breakdown the different materials individually to help you get educated on the products we can use for your project.
