Built for Use and Built to Last
Deck design and construction services for homes in Spokane and Coeur d’Alene
You want a deck that fits how you actually use your outdoor space in Spokane and Coeur d’Alene, whether that means stairs down to a sloped yard, railings that meet code, or a layout that keeps snow from piling against your back door. Stone Base Contractors LLC handles the full process from design through permitting and construction, so the finished deck works the way you need it to.
The work includes selecting materials based on your budget and how much weather exposure the deck will face in Spokane or beyond. You choose between pressure-treated lumber, composite boards, or cedar depending on how often you plan to stain or seal it. If you already have a deck that needs repairs, the team replaces damaged boards, reinforces framing, or updates railings that no longer meet safety standards. Permit coordination is included when required by local code.

What Happens During a Full Deck Build
The crew starts by reviewing your yard layout and checking for grade issues or drainage problems that could affect post placement in Spokane and beyond. Demolition of an old deck happens first if needed, then footings are dug and inspected before framing begins. Posts are set in concrete, and ledger boards are bolted to the house with flashing to prevent water infiltration behind the siding.
Once framing is complete and inspected, decking boards go down with consistent spacing for drainage and expansion. Stairs are built to code height and depth, and railings are installed at the correct spacing to pass final inspection. You end up with a deck that drains properly, meets local building requirements, and handles foot traffic without flexing or squeaking.
Material warranties vary depending on what you choose, and the crew explains maintenance expectations before the job wraps. If your property has steep grades or requires custom stair runs, those details get worked out during the design phase so there are no surprises during construction.
Homeowners in Spokane and the surroudning area often ask about timelines, material differences, and what happens if the existing structure needs work before a new deck can go up.
Questions That Come Up Before Starting a Deck Project
What materials hold up best in Spokane area weather?
Pressure-treated lumber is the most common choice for framing and is budget-friendly, while composite decking resists fading and does not require annual sealing. Cedar looks good and weathers naturally, but it needs regular maintenance to prevent splitting.
How long does a full deck build take?
Most new deck builds in Spokane take one to two weeks depending on size, permitting, and weather. Repairs or railing upgrades usually finish in a few days.
What happens if my ledger board is rotted?
The crew removes the damaged section, checks the rim joist for moisture damage, and installs a new ledger with proper flashing. This work is included in the repair estimate if found during inspection.
Why do permits matter for deck construction?
Permits ensure your deck meets load requirements, railing height, and footing depth for Spokane soil conditions. Stone Base Contractors LLC coordinates permitting and schedules inspections so the project stays on track.
When should I replace a deck instead of repairing it?
If the framing is sagging, posts are loose, or more than half the decking boards are cupped or cracked, replacement is usually more reliable than patching. The crew assesses structure during the estimate and explains what makes sense for your situation.
