Optima Fence and Deck designs and builds cedar, Trex, and TimberTech decks for Mountlake Terrace homes from our office in nearby Bothell. We are licensed and family-owned, and every deck we build carries a 4-year workmanship guarantee.




Much of Mountlake Terrace was built in the 1950s and 1960s, and many homes here came with decks built to older standards. Years of rain have worked into the boards, the fasteners, and the framing underneath, often without any obvious warning until a board gives way. By the time patching stops working, the damage often runs deeper than the boards.
A deck builder contractor in Mountlake Terrace should look beyond the surface, because a fresh coat of stain cannot restore a weakened structure. We check connections, footings, and signs of structural damage, then recommend repairs or a full rebuild based on what we actually find. That honest assessment helps you avoid paying twice for the same problem.

Composite decking needs no staining or sealing. As a composite deck builder in Mountlake Terrace, we install Trex and TimberTech boards that resist fading and moisture.

Lighting makes each step easier to see after sunset. We install fixtures along stairs, edges, and railings for safety and a warm evening glow.

Aluminum railings offer clean lines and resist rust and corrosion with minimal upkeep. They keep views open and the look light and modern.

Wood railings add timeless character and pair well with cedar decking. We build them to code height and spacing, with posts anchored securely.

Composite railings match composite decking and resist moisture, fading, and warping. They keep a polished look without sanding, sealing, or painting.

Stairs connect your deck to the yard, so we build them with care. Accurate stringers, consistent risers, and secured treads give you steps that feel steady underfoot.

Cedar posts on pipes provide a strong and stable structure for your wood fence posts. This setup ensures your fence stands tall and durable, perfect for long-lasting performance and great curb appeal.

For a sturdy backyard wood fence, choose pressure-treated posts on pipe. This option is built to last, protecting your fence from weather damage and offering extra strength to hold your fence firmly in place for years.

The pressure-treated bottom board protects your wooden privacy fence from soil and moisture. This helps prevent rot and keeps your fence looking good, so it lasts longer and stays strong throughout the seasons.

Worried about your pets digging under your fence? The anti-dig bottom board reduces that risk. It reinforces your wood fence posts, making sure your furry friends stay safe and your fence stays intact.

Add style and personality to your types of wooden fences with custom lattice. Whether diamond, vertical, or horizontal, this topping elevates your fence’s look and gives it a unique touch, all while enhancing privacy.

Looking to add something special to your wooden fence panels? Arbors are a fantastic addition. They not only enhance the look of your fence for privacy but also create a charming focal point or entrance to your yard.

Decks built decades ago face new tests every winter, and some problems hide behind a fresh finish. Watch for these five issues, and call Optima for deck repair in Mountlake Terrace when you spot one.
Being a trusted deck builder means standing behind every deck. Each one carries a 4-year limited warranty covering workmanship and structural material defects on products we supply and install. Warranties on materials can vary, so we explain exactly what each one covers.
Our hard-working crew treats every deck as if it were our own. As a licensed, bonded, and insured deck building contractor, we combine experience, attention to detail, and a steady commitment to clean results.
Good updates help keep a deck project on track. Throughout the build, we explain each step, answer questions quickly, and keep you informed before decisions are made. Those are the habits to expect from a top deck builder Mountlake Terrace can rely on.
Materials shape a deck's durability and appearance. An outdoor deck builder in Mountlake Terrace should explain each option, since the local climate is demanding.
Cedar balances good looks with practical performance. Sealing and routine care protect the deck boards from sun and rain, so the wood keeps its character and stays comfortable underfoot through the seasons.
Composite is designed for families who would rather relax than refinish. Most boards need only soap-and-water cleaning a few times a year, which makes upkeep a small part of owning your deck.
Exotic hardwoods bring dense grain and a distinctive, high-end finish. We explain how each species weathers and what care it needs, so the look you love is also one you can keep.
Hidden parts matter most in a damp climate. We use stainless steel fasteners, with brackets and connectors suited to moisture, and install them carefully, because strong connections hold every board and railing in place.
Knowing what happens before the first board goes down helps you avoid delays, extra costs, and surprises. Here is what to check, from permits to proposals, before any work begins on your deck.
Imagine dinner outside after an evening walk around Lake Ballinger, with room at the table for everyone. A deck sized for your table, grill, and guests makes those nights an easy habit.
