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 Caulkin's Patio + Pergola Project in North Tacoma - Tacoma, WA

The Caulkin’s Patio & Pergola project was completed in summer 2019 in North Tacoma. The project got its start in the spring of 2019 when the homeowner reached out to Wilder with a photo of pergola that they really liked. Additionally, they wanted to create a space below the pergola to hang out, so we decided to create a simple 10x12 patio out of Mutual Materials Vancouver Bay 2x2 pavers.

Nobody NEEDS a Pergola - Tacoma, WA

What makes pergolas so cool? You don't really NEED them. Unlike many other things in a yard (fences, walls, etc.) their utility is simply to be a beautiful place to gather under. Having a pergola built will certainly add some flavor to your home’s exterior, and may even raise the value of your home a bit, but its real purpose is closer to art than necessity.
