Custom Natural Wood Decking:
Cedar & Pressure-Treated There is an undeniable warmth and beauty to a real wood deck.
For many homeowners in Silverton and Oregon City, a natural wood deck is the only way to go. At Upper Valley Construction, we bring decades of carpentry expertise to every wood project, selecting the finest lumber to create an outdoor space that feels like a natural extension of your home.
High-Quality Wood Options
Western Red Cedar: Our most popular wood choice. Cedar is naturally resistant to decay and insects, and its stunning grain patterns make it the "gold standard" for Pacific Northwest decks.
Pressure-Treated Lumber: The most cost-effective option. Today’s pressure-treated wood is durable and can be stained in a variety of colors to match your home’s aesthetic.
Custom Timber Framing: For those looking for a "lodge" or "craftsman" look, we can incorporate heavy timber posts and beams for a rugged, high-end finish.
Built for the Oregon Climate
The key to a wood deck’s lifespan in Oregon is ventilation and drainage. We utilize professional building techniques, such as joist flashing tape and proper board spacing, to ensure water doesn't sit on the wood. Combined with our 10-year workmanship warranty, you can trust that your wood deck is built to last.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I seal my wood deck?
In our climate, we recommend cleaning and sealing your cedar deck every 2–3 years to maintain its color and prevent rot.
Does wood decking splinter?
All natural wood can eventually splinter, but choosing high-grade cedar and keeping it conditioned with sealer significantly reduces this risk.
Can you build a wood deck on a slope?
Absolutely. Our background in excavation allows us to build secure, engineered footings on even the steepest Pacific Northwest hillsides.
