Learn moreFrom the Craftsman decks of Queen Anne to the shaded backyards of West Seattle, DeckMasters brings weathered wood back to life across the city. Local, licensed, and built for Seattle's rain.
Seattle is hard on wood. Nine months of grey skies, near-constant moisture, and the heavy tree canopy that shades so many neighborhoods create the perfect conditions for moss, mildew, and that flat silvery weathering that creeps across every unprotected deck and fence in the city. If your outdoor space has started to look tired, it isn't neglect — it's the climate doing what it does to untreated wood.
DeckMasters works throughout Seattle, and we understand the wood we're dealing with here. A lot of the city's decks are cedar or older pressure-treated lumber attached to Craftsman and mid-century homes that have seen decades of Northwest weather. That history matters when it comes to prep and product choice, and it's why a generic, one-size-fits-all approach so often fails within a season. We tailor every job to the wood, the exposure, and the specific microclimate of your yard.
Seattle homeowners have plenty of options, so we earn the work with the parts of the job nobody else wants to sweat: the stripping, the cleaning, the sanding. That prep is what separates a finish that survives a Seattle winter from one that peels by spring.
We're local, licensed, bonded, and insured — a real Seattle-area crew you can reach, not a call center routing your job to whoever's cheapest that week. When you book DeckMasters, the people who quote your deck are the people who finish it.
The full DeckMasters lineup is available across Seattle and the surrounding area.

Learn moreSeattle's neighborhoods each throw their own curveballs at a deck. The dense tree cover in areas like Wedgwood, Ravenna, and Wallingford means shade and constant damp, which is a recipe for moss and mildew that need serious cleaning before any finish goes down. Sun-exposed decks in West Seattle and up on Queen Anne face the opposite problem — UV bleaching that dries and greys the boards from the top down.
Older housing stock is another factor. Many Seattle homes have decks that were built decades ago, so restoration and board replacement come up more often here than in newer developments. We're comfortable working on aging decks and cedar fencing, and we'll always tell you honestly whether a deck needs a full restoration or just a good clean and re-coat.
All of them — from Ballard and Fremont in the north to West Seattle and Columbia City in the south, plus everything in between. If you're inside the city, we can help. Call 206-605-7212 and we'll confirm scheduling for your area.

Absolutely. Moss and mildew are the most common issues we see on shaded Seattle decks. We clean it off completely, then seal the wood so it doesn't come right back.
