Cedar Decks
Timeless Cedar Decks for Northwest Homes
There’s something truly exceptional about cedar decks. The rich color, distinctive grain, and natural warmth they bring to your outdoor space, it’s a combination that transforms ordinary backyards into extraordinary living areas. At Patio Covers Unlimited NW, our team understands why homeowners consistently choose cedar, and we’re passionate about designing and building custom cedar decks that exceed expectations in both beauty and performance.
Cedar Decks Designed Around Your Vision
Every exceptional cedar deck starts with our team truly listening to your needs and aspirations. We’re solution-oriented problem solvers who view each project as an opportunity to create something extraordinary that perfectly fits your lifestyle.
Dreaming of a peaceful retreat for your morning coffee ritual? Planning memorable family gatherings with built-in seating, multi-level layouts, or a full outdoor kitchen? Our team brings a growth mindset to every build, continuously refining our approach to bring your unique vision to life.
There’s a compelling reason cedar remains a favorite choice in the Northwest. This remarkable material naturally resists insects and moisture damage, a significant advantage in our climate. Cedar is also lightweight yet incredibly durable, and it accepts custom stains and finishes beautifully when you want to achieve a specific aesthetic. Our team handpicks premium-grade cedar boards and engineers each deck with properly designed footings, reinforced framing, and strategic ventilation systems that promote longevity.
Why Homeowners Love Cedar Decks
Cedar decks aren’t just visually stunning, they’re smart, strategic investments that enhance your daily life.
- Natural, Timeless Beauty – Cedar’s warm tones and distinctive grain patterns create that classic, inviting atmosphere that complements any architectural style, from sleek modern designs to traditional homes.
- Exceptional Comfort – Cedar stays noticeably cooler underfoot than synthetic alternatives, making those summer days enjoyable even when you’re barefoot.
- Design Flexibility – Because cedar is easy to cut and shape, we can incorporate custom touches like integrated benches and sophisticated multi-level layouts that make your deck truly one-of-a-kind.
- Built-In Natural Protection – Cedar’s natural oils provide inherent resistance to rot and insect damage, protecting your investment when paired with regular maintenance.
- Customizable Finish Options – Let cedar age naturally into a beautiful silvery-gray patina, or seal and stain it to preserve that fresh, rich appearance indefinitely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is cedar a good choice for the Northwest climate?
Absolutely! Cedar is an exceptional choice for our region. Its natural resistance to moisture and insects makes it ideally suited for Northwest weather conditions. With proper maintenance and care, cedar decks thrive in our climate for years.
How long will a cedar deck last?
With quality construction and regular maintenance, a professionally built cedar deck can last years or more. The key is combining expert installation with consistent care cleaning, sealing, and inspecting your deck regularly.
Does cedar require ongoing maintenance?
Yes, and it's definitely worth the effort! Regular cleaning and periodic sealing (typically every 2-3 years) protect against moisture damage and UV exposure while keeping your deck looking beautiful.
Will my cedar deck change color over time?
Cedar naturally weathers over time. Left untreated, it will gradually develop a distinguished silvery-gray patina. If you prefer to maintain the original warm tones, applying a quality stain or sealer will preserve that fresh appearance.
Is cedar better than composite decking?
It depends on your priorities! Cedar offers authentic natural beauty and comfortable cool-to-the-touch surfaces. Composite materials require less maintenance. Our team helps you evaluate both options based on your lifestyle and goals.
Can you create custom design features?
Absolutely! We specialize in custom designs including multi-level configurations, sophisticated railing systems, and built-in seating. If you can envision it, our team can engineer and build it.
Will I need a building permit for my cedar deck?
In most cases, yes, local building codes typically require permits for deck construction. Great news: our team handles the permit process for you, ensuring every aspect meets or exceeds all local regulations.
