Olympia, WA General Contractor
This homeowner in Olympia, WA needed a safer, more functional outdoor living area that could withstand year-round moisture while improving access from the main level to the backyard. Our team built a complete two-story deck system starting with a reinforced structural foundation using pressure-treated posts, heavy-duty support beams, and galvanized hardware—critical components for long-term durability in the Pacific Northwest.
The upper deck was finished with low-maintenance composite decking, a popular choice among Olympia homeowners seeking a long-lasting, rot-resistant solution. We installed custom wood railings to tie the deck design into the natural surroundings, improving both aesthetics and safety. Directly below, the covered patio area creates additional usable outdoor space and protects the walk-out basement entrance from rain.
One of the most significant upgrades was the construction of a full exterior staircase system. Because the yard slopes steeply, we built a multi-flight staircase with an intermediate landing for stability and comfort. Each stair tread and landing features composite material for improved traction and reduced maintenance, and the handrail system matches the upper deck to create a cohesive visual flow across the entire structure.
This project dramatically enhanced the home’s outdoor experience by providing more usable living space, improved yard access, and long-term structural integrity. The final result is a high-quality two-story deck built to withstand Olympia’s weather while elevating the property’s overall value and aesthetic appeal.
