Decks & Outdoor Structures

Decks, pergolas, railings and stairs built for what the foothills actually do to them — snow load, sun, freeze-thaw, and the twenty-year test. Framing is where Matt started, and it's still the part of the work he's fastest at.

The deck work photographed here is multi-level, framed on a steep lot, with an exterior stair connecting the levels, a hot tub carried on the structure, and site stairs cut into the hillside. Hot tub load and stair geometry on a slope are the hard parts of deck building, and both are in these photographs.
