Clarkson Valley homes and this kind of project
A composite deck in Clarkson Valley means working in large traditional homes from the 1970s and 1980s, so on our first visit we look at joist spacing, ledger flashing and footing depth on any frame we might reuse.
The housing stock here: large 1970s and 1980s traditional homes on lots of about an acre.
Frames from the boom years are often at twenty-four-inch spacing and need added joists.
Lots, exteriors and approvals in Clarkson Valley
Brick and wood exteriors needing trim repair and paint, original decks and patios ready for replacement with covered outdoor rooms.
Builder decks in Clarkson Valley from these decades were minimal and are now at or past the end of their safe life. Replacement is a chance to correct ledger flashing, deepen footings and build something sized for how families use outdoor space today.
What is included
For Clarkson Valley composite decks we handle design, permit, frame construction or reinforcement, joist tape, hidden-fastener installation, picture framing, fascia, stairs, railing systems and optional low-voltage lighting.
We take on composite deck work across Clarkson Valley, from Kehrs Mill Road estates to neighborhoods around Forest Hills Country Club.
What we watch for
South and west exposures in Clarkson Valley get brutal afternoon sun. We steer those decks toward lighter colors and talk about shade structures at the same time.
Working on lots of about an acre, as we do in Clarkson Valley, we plan access for deck carpenters before the first delivery arrives.

Composite & PVC Decks in Clarkson Valley: common questions
How long does a composite deck take in Clarkson Valley?
One to three weeks. For Clarkson Valley we group trade visits to keep that schedule tight despite the drive.
Do I need approval beyond a permit for a composite deck in Clarkson Valley?
Possibly. In Clarkson Valley you may be dealing with city architectural expectations for a uniformly traditional community. City or county approval and private approval are separate, and we prepare both submittals and wait for written approval before ordering materials.
Can composite go on my old deck frame?
If the frame is structurally sound and we can add joists to meet spacing. Putting a thirty-year surface on a frame with ten years left is a poor bargain, and we will say so.
