"He did a beautiful job of terracing our very difficult slope including the removal of a stump the size of the excavator. He also made a Very useable path down to our lower lot on a steep drop. Very pleasant experience. Weâ d use him again in a heart beat! Also very reasonably priced."

"These guys built me a deck and fencing based solely off of a design I had in my head. And they did it perfectly. They were fast and clean and polite and I’ll definitely use them again if the need or want arises. Two thumbs up. "

"James Millions presented himself as a General Contractor that would take on the full project. We specifically told him we were looking for one contractor to fulfill every trade - even if that meant subcontracting out. In the end, that's not what happened. They sent us emails, "we don't have anyone to do that - sorry about that". Their communication was lacking - pretty much only email - a day or so later. Several times, they were on vacation and not reachable by us or their crew that was onsite. The site crew was fantastic. The site lead did everything he could to get the project completed, to best of his crew's ability. In the end, we had to manage the project by finding many other trades people to finish the job. What was supposed to be a small project, has been delayed because James' oversold his ability/desire to be the General Contractor of our job."

"We had a great experience with Valta Homes on our full home remodel in Kirkland. Our 70s house was dated—failing appliances, creaky scratched floors, cabinets falling apart. I was nervous about big remodels going over budget, taking forever, or leaving everything a mess. They responded quickly, listened to what we wanted (simple modern updates), gave a clear quote with no surprises, and kept us updated the whole time. The crew was professional, covered everything to control dust, cleaned up daily, and stuck to the timeline. About two months later: quiet new hardwood floors, sturdy cabinets, reliable modern appliances, refreshed bathrooms. Project came in right on budget with no drama. We’ll definitely use them again. Highly recommend! 5 stars—thanks for making it smooth!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"Had them rip out the fireplace that was installed poorly in 1990. A bit costly, but I doubt a single handyman could have done it in a timely fashion. Done in 3 days start to finish. I was expecting some water damage, but it was much worse. Getting a exact price for the work out of them beforehand was impossible. Ultimately it cost $2500 extra do to having to replace more sections of the roof and support beans. They didn't pull a fast one, the wood crumbled when touched. Labor isn't cheap. Would hire them again because the work is solid. "

"I’m posting this before Heartwood Home Exteriors begins our deck and covered awning, and here’s why: Ben and Shaun’s professionalism gives me complete confidence in the outcome. They spent real time walking me through every composite decking option: Trex, Fiberon, TimberTech. Explaining pros and cons without any upselling. Just honest guidance to help me choose right for our Lacey home and Pacific Northwest weather. What impressed me most: their values. Time is money, and they don’t waste yours. Transparent pricing, fair negotiation, clear answers. They’re licensed, experienced, and genuinely care about doing right by customers. Yes, they’re newer… which means they’re building their reputation the right way. That’s exactly what I want. I’ll update after completion, but I wanted to share this now because finding contractors with this integrity is rare. Highly recommend for composite decking in Olympia/Lacey."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Olympia, WA

To maximize your budget, compare quotes of several builders that fit within your specifications. Don’t be afraid to draw a wider geographic circle if the contractor is willing to travel without charging more. But affordability only matters if you get a quality deck out of it.

Cutting corners or simply finding the cheapest pro could result in significant problems. The materials used may be cheap and rot quickly. The support the surface provides might be unstable and dangerous. Always consider the long-term costs and benefits of quality work. Paying less upfront may actually be more expensive if you consider the cost of repairs.

Deciding on which materials you should use depends entirely on the type of deck you’re looking for. Composite works well for a simple surface exposed to harsh elements, while concrete is the standard choice for many patios. Your decking material options can range from wood to aluminum. Learn about the pros and cons of these materials to make the right decision.

You can build a deck during any season, which is why choosing the right time for this project depends on your preferences:

  • Spring: get your deck ready in time for landscaping and to enjoy it throughout the warmer seasons.

  • Summer: use spring for the planning process, then get the project ready before it gets cold out.

  • Fall: Limit turf or landscape damage by building once most plants begin to recede.

  • Winter: make the excavation process easier, thanks to cold and firm ground.

Many deck builders prefer winter, which is also the season with the shortest waiting queues. Still, other seasons are far from impossible for this type of project.

Expect a thorough examination of the space, and the development of a project schedule. Delivery of materials might already have occurred or could be planned at this point.

Additional research about working with deck builders can help you understand what to expect from experts, and what they expect from you.

Make sure the site of the deck or patio is clear of any landscaping and debris. The contractor will also call a utilities locator service to mark power, water, cable, and other services around the area where they will be digging. The cleaner the area your builder has to work with, the more quickly they can get started. Make sure they have space to park any construction vehicles. Find a dry space for materials that might need storage during the install. Finally, ensure clear access to the site through your house or property.

When it comes to the DIY vs. hire a pro decision for your deck, the answer tends to be clear. Only take it on yourself if you have significant expertise and experience. Without either, you risk building a faulty exterior space, leading to injury risks. Projects built without necessary expertise also break more quickly, making them more expensive in the long run.

If you do want to take on decking as a DIY project, be sure to do your research. Learn about installing the posts and footing for your framing. Understand how to lay decking boards and build the railings and stairs you need for access and security.
