We can create an innovative design for your deck and restore it with hardwearing materials that offer superior performance in the rainy Seattle, Washington, weather. What’s more, while we’re helping you design the perfect deck for your home, you can select from a wide selection of custom railings to complete your new outdoor space.  

Does Your Deck Need Remodeling? 

Some straightforward signs can indicate it’s time to consider remodeling your deck. If your old deck is made of wood, you’ll want to check for rotting wood, cracked deck boards, or loose railings. These are all indications of deterioration that tell you it’s time for a deck remodeling project. Additionally, if you or a former homeowner has not done any maintenance work in a while, it’s likely time to have your deck professionally remodeled.  

Weather-Resistant Deck Materials 

If you’ve decided it’s time for a deck remodeling project at your home in the greater Seattle, WA, area, you can find the products and services you need from Synapse Construction. We stand out from other deck-building companies by offering decking products that stand the test of time. As we create a modern design for your deck, we’ll help you select from an array of materials, each offering distinct benefits.  

Our decking options include: 

Composite Decking 

If you prefer the easy maintenance offered by composite decking, we offer options from some of the top names in the industry. Options include: 

• Trex composite decking – The Trex composite decking we install offers a durable and low-maintenance alternative to traditional wood decks. Unlike wood, Trex decking resists rot, warping, and splintering, eliminating the need for regular painting, sealing, or staining. Its high-performance shell protects against fading and staining, ensuring a long-lasting, vibrant appearance. Additionally, Trex decking is made from 95% recycled materials, making it an eco-friendly choice.  

• TimberTech composite decking – TimberTech composite decking is engineered to resist fading, staining, and scratching, ensuring a long-lasting, low-maintenance outdoor space. A standout feature is the four-sided protective polymer cap, which provides superior moisture resistance and protection against mold and mildew. This design ensures that the boards won’t splinter, crack, or rot over time.  

• Fiberon composite decking – Crafted from a blend of recycled wood and plastic, Fiberon composite decking resists splintering, rotting, cracking, insects, and decay, ensuring longevity and safety. The protective cap layer enhances durability and performance, eliminating the need for sanding, staining, or painting. Maintenance is simple, requiring only occasional cleaning with soap and water or a mild cleaner. Fiberon’s commitment to sustainability is evident, as its decking contains up to 96% recycled material, combining recycled wood with the long-lasting resilience of recycled plastic.  

• MoistureShield composite decking – MoistureShield composite decking features a proprietary Solid Core that creates an impermeable barrier against moisture, rot, and insects, ensuring longevity even in challenging environments. This unique construction allows installation on the ground, in the ground, or underwater without compromising structural integrity. Additionally, MoistureShield’s CoolDeck® Technology reduces heat absorption by up to 35%, providing a more comfortable surface underfoot.  

Hardwood Decking 

Hardwood decking offers natural beauty that never goes out of style. When built correctly and properly maintained, a solid wood deck can last for years, even in our wet climate. At Synapse Construction, we also offer deck waterproofing as an option that can help protect your new hardwood deck. 

Our hardwood decking options include: 

• Cedar – Cedar decking offers a naturally beautiful and durable option for outdoor spaces. Its rich color variations and distinctive grain patterns create a warm, inviting aesthetic that enhances any deck design. Cedar is naturally resistant to moisture, decay, and insect damage, allowing it to maintain its integrity for many years. Unlike pressure-treated wood, cedar contains no chemical additives, making it an eco-friendly choice.  

• Thermally modified wood – Thermally modified wood decking undergoes a heat and steam process that makes it highly resistant to moisture, rot, and insect damage without the use of chemicals. This modification also reduces warping and swelling, making it an excellent choice for varying climates. With a rich, refined appearance, thermally modified wood maintains its aesthetic appeal over time while requiring less maintenance than traditional wood decking. 

• Kebony – Through an eco-friendly modification process, Kebony enhances the properties of sustainable softwood, resulting in a material with the appearance and performance of premium hardwood. This process provides the wood with a rich brown color that, over time, develops into an elegant silver-gray patina. Kebony decking is engineered to withstand harsh conditions, resisting rot and decay with minimal maintenance.  

• Cali Bamboo – Cali BamDeck® composite decking offers a sustainable and durable solution for outdoor spaces. Made from 60% reclaimed bamboo fibers and 40% recycled HDPE plastic, it provides exceptional strength and resistance to moisture, insects, and decay. The unique composition ensures a dense, weather-resistant material that requires minimal maintenance.  

PVC Decking 

Synapse Construction also offers durable PVC decking options for homeowners seeking a low-maintenance, long-lasting solution. PVC decking is resistant to moisture, mold, and insect damage, making it ideal for various climates. Its fade-resistant surface retains its color over time, while its lightweight design simplifies installation and enhances durability. 

Choose PVC decking from the following manufacturers: 

• TimberTech/Azek – TimberTech’s Advanced PVC decking offers authentic wood aesthetics with superior durability. Engineered from 100% synthetic materials, it resists moisture, mold, and mildew, ensuring longevity with minimal maintenance. The proprietary protective capping maintains its rich color for decades, and the material stays up to 30°F cooler than many competitive products, enhancing comfort underfoot.  

• Wolf – Synapse Construction installs Wolf Serenity™ Decking, a low-maintenance PVC option featuring High-Density Cellular™ Technology. This decking mimics the natural look of real wood and is highly resistant to moisture, mold, and mildew, making it ideal for rainy and coastal regions.  

• Deckorators – Deckorators offers high-performance PVC decking that is engineered to resist moisture, mold, and mildew, ensuring longevity with minimal maintenance. The boards feature a slip-resistant surface for enhanced safety and are available in a variety of colors and finishes to suit differing design preferences. Additionally, Deckorators PVC decking is lightweight, making installation easier while maintaining structural integrity.  

• Fortress – Fortress® Apex™ PVC decking offers the authentic appearance of tropical hardwoods through a proprietary tri-extrusion process. Its bamboo-reinforced foam core makes it 45% lighter than traditional composite decking, allowing for easier handling and installation. The boards demonstrate approximately 25% less expansion and contraction compared to other PVC options, ensuring a consistent and uniform look. Encapsulated in acrylic polymer, each board provides exceptional UV resistance and maintains its color over time.  

Your Deck Isn’t Complete Without Custom Railings 

Selecting the right railings for a new deck is essential for both safety and style. Railings provide a critical barrier to prevent falls, especially on elevated decks, making them a key safety feature for families, pets, and guests. Railings also enhance the overall look of a deck, complementing its design and adding character.  

When you partner with Synapse Construction, your railing options will range from sleek metal to classic wood or durable composite materials, and we’ll help you choose the right railing to create a cohesive, polished appearance. By balancing durability, aesthetics, and code compliance, you can achieve a safe and visually appealing outdoor space that enhances your home’s value. 

We offer several different railing options, including: 

• Cedar picket – Cedar picket deck railing features vertical cedar pickets secured between top and bottom rails, creating a classic, sturdy barrier. Its popularity comes from cedar’s natural resistance to decay, insects, and moisture, along with its warm, rustic appearance. 

• Cedar custom – Custom cedar deck railing adds a distinctive touch to any outdoor space, offering natural beauty and durability. With unique designs, homeowners can create a personalized look that complements their deck. Cedar’s rich grain and weather-resistant properties make it a long-lasting, low-maintenance choice that enhances both safety and visual appeal. 

• Aluminum picket – Aluminum picket deck railing offers a sleek, modern look with exceptional durability. Resistant to rust, corrosion, and weather damage, it requires minimal maintenance while providing long-lasting performance. Its lightweight design makes installation easy, and various finishes and styles allow homeowners to achieve a stylish, secure deck railing solution. 

• Aluminum cable – Aluminum cable deck railing features strong aluminum posts with horizontal stainless-steel cables, creating a sleek, modern look. Its popularity comes from its durability, ease of maintenance, and ability to provide unobstructed views. Resistant to rust and weather damage, it’s a stylish and long-lasting choice for contemporary outdoor spaces. 

• Aluminum glass – Aluminum glass deck railing combines sturdy aluminum frames with tempered glass panels for a modern, open look. This design enhances safety while preserving clear views, making it ideal for scenic locations. It’s resistant to rust, requires minimal maintenance, and adds a sleek, high-end aesthetic to any outdoor space.
