There is just something about open timbers, fir car decking, and cedar railing and decking that makes for a rustic and beautiful entertaining area. We feel it really is a part of Pacific Northwest Living!
This project was a joint effort between Integrity Roofing and Curb Appeal. We did some soffit and rafter tail rot repair, replaced quite a bit of fascia with new primed cedar product, and then Integrity Roofing replaced the roof.
Then we started work on the covered deck. We built the frame for the deck, set our posts, ran our rafters, then laid the fir car decking above and wrapped it with cedar fascia. Our friends at Integrity Roofing then installed the roofing product while we laid our cedar deck and railing, before moving on to building the bridge.
Our clients were able to enjoy the space for a party they had been planning for some time, and we couldn't be happier that they were able to do so!

Thank you to Sound Cedar for coming through with quality product, as usual!

What a naturally beautiful color stained cedar can have! We love this multi-level deck and stairs. Building around the landscape can be a challenge, and this one was no exception. There were many elevation changes, and creativity was needed to run the deck and stairs along the rock hardscape above. If it looks like the railing is incomplete, it is. We hope to have some updated pictures when the stainless steel cable railing is installed by our excellent client!

All decking, railing, posts, and fascia is in cedar with Ready Seal in Dark Walnut stain applied. You can get it at Sound Cedar, and they have a lot of tints available to choose from. Go see Robert, Kyle, or Nick and see what they can fix you up with! Give us a call and we will install it!

Here is another deck project we completed a while ago. Actually, it would probably be considered a front porch, but it's big enough we would say it built like a small deck. The old cedar decking had deteriorated to the point of being unsafe. We tore it off, repaired the structure, installed new Deckorators Vista decking in Driftwood coloring, and installed a cedar railing with aluminum balusters, and cedar skirting. We think it turned out very nice!

Thank you to our clients!

This project was in a beautiful location on Orcas Island; situated on an expansive property, sloping down to the Pacific Ocean and looking away to the west. It was a very hot week, and long days, but we managed to squeeze 2 weeks worth of work into 6 days. Rebuilding soffits (including a fair amount of rot repair), adding continuous aluminum venting, and new fascia.
Then came the fun part! We tore out the old roof over the patio overlooking the water, and replaced it with open timbers and car decking. We were pushing so hard we didn't get many in progress photos, but the before and after photos are there. Our clients were very happy to have a fresh space to spend their leisure time in!

Thanks to Integrity Roofing for bringing us on for the woodwork portion of this project!

This project was a simple re-deck project to improve our client's outdoor space. Their large backyard is bordered by a wooded area, highlighted by a nice slab, deck and pergola. Now their deck has a fresh surface of Deckorators Vista product in Ironwood coloring, with Azek brand accent fascia in white. What a nice clean contrast in coloring. We hope you enjoy this deck for a long time, thank you!

Thanks to Sound Cedar for the materials!

This remodel project recreated this space, making it much more beautiful, and functional. New tile on the floor and up the walls. All new plumbing and fixtures, sheet rock on the ceilings with new can lights, quartz counter tops with mosaic tile back splash, custom mirrors, and new stall dividers. We custom made the aluminum plate apron for the counter tops. The colors and products are neutral yet warm and inviting, and these gems really pop now! Even though they are bathrooms :)

Thank you to Jewell Electric, Gwaltney Construction and Impact Construction for the tile work, Carpet One for much of the materials, Booker's Plumbing, Primo Installations for putting in the dividers, Tri-County Interiors for drywall. And many more hands and feet who made this all come together!

This was a super cool project we undertook this past summer. We knocked the roof off the center peak, added some BIG beams and posts, ran rafters and cardecking to give an outdoor "lodge" kind of look. Then we installed some cedar shingles to all the gable ends. The finishing touches were the sleek Simpson brackets and the stain/clear coat applied to all surfaces.
Many thanks to one of our first and favorite clients!

Thanks to Sound Cedar for sourcing the majority of the materials!
And thanks to ANC Design for the plans, Integrity Roofing, Jewell Electric, Washington Gutter, and to Backcountry Painting for making it all pop with the Sikkens finishes! We couldn't have done it without you!

We were privileged to be able to redo the kitchen of one of our favorite people after her kitchen was damaged by a water leak. We knocked out a wall to open the space up and put in a hidden beam, providing open sightlines and lots of light!
Thank you to our partners on this project: The Plumbing Guys, Valley Drywall, Flooring Connections, and Kitchen Trends for the cabinetry and countertops! It looks fantastic!

Here is a nice little re-deck project we worked on a bit ago. Some sweet 2x4 cedar decking, pre-stained in pecan.
Sound Cedar is the place to get it!
Thanks to our client for a great experience, as usual!

Another smallish project in cedar from last year.
This client had a deteriorating porch in need of replacing, and of course we love working with cedar!
