Craft Boys rebuilt our two-tier deck on a sloped backyard that three other contractors refused to touch. Engineered drawings, permits, hidden fasteners — everything done right, on schedule, and the crew cleaned up every single evening.
How we work Seattle & the Eastside
From first call to final walkthrough
Four steps become five when you count permits. You'll know the price, the timeline and who's on your property — in writing.
The Craft Boys process
-
Day 1
Consultation & site visit
We walk your yard together, measure, and talk through what you actually need — wood or composite, size, railings, the works. No sales script, just builder questions.
- Free on-site visit
- Honest feasibility check
- Material samples to touch
-
Within a week
Design, 3D & written estimate
We model your deck in 3D so you see it before it’s built, then hand you a written estimate — materials, labor and timeline, line by line. The price we write is the price you pay.
- 3D visualization of your deck
- Material & finish selection
- Itemized scope & fixed price
-
Before we build
Permits & engineering
Most Seattle & Eastside decks need a permit. We prepare the drawings, engineer to code and file the paperwork, then see it through city review so your build is legal and inspection-ready.
- Permit drawings prepared & filed
- Engineered to WA & local code
- Typically 2–6 weeks for city approval
-
1–3 weeks
The build
A small dedicated crew, daily clean-up, and a site lead who answers your calls. We build like it’s our own backyard.
- Same crew start to finish
- Daily clean-up
- Photo updates as we go

Years after

What clients consistently say
Across 50+ reviews, homeowners highlight precise craftsmanship, on-time crews that clean up daily, honest pricing with no surprises, and decks that feel solid and safe — even on complex, multi-level builds.
We got quotes from five companies and Craft Boys was the only one that explained WHY the old deck failed. New composite deck with cable railings is stunning, and the price matched the written estimate to the dollar.
Our 20-year-old cedar deck looked done for. They restored it — sanded, re-stained, replaced the bad boards — for a third of what a rebuild would cost. Honest advice instead of an upsell. Rare these days.
Pergola + deck extension finished ahead of schedule despite the February rain. The crew tarped everything daily and the site was spotless. The 3D visualization beforehand made every decision easy.
Second project with Craft Boys — deck repair after a winter leak, then full waterproofing with an under-deck drainage system. Their 10-year warranty is real: they came back for the free follow-up inspection unprompted.
Found them on Thumbtack, best decision of our remodel. They replaced rotten joists other companies missed and finished the new decking so cleanly you can't find a visible screw. Communication was instant.
To guarantee the highest quality, we accept only 3 projects per month.
