Deck Construction · Portland Metro
New Deck Construction Portland, Oregon.
OJB Solutions builds new residential decks throughout the Portland metro. We coordinate layout, foundations, posts, beams, joists, ledger connections, decking, stairs, railings, and finish details as one complete deck project.
New Residential Decks
A complete deck planned from the foundation up.
A new deck gives you the opportunity to plan the size, shape, elevation, stairs, railing system, decking material, and connection to the home before construction begins.
OJB Solutions builds the project as a complete system, including the foundation and support structure beneath the deck as well as the visible decking, stairs, railings, fascia, and finish details above.
Where required, permitting, plans, engineering, and project-specific structural details are coordinated as part of the approved project scope.
New Deck Construction
Every major deck component coordinated under one construction plan.
Footings & Foundations
Foundation and footing locations are planned around the approved deck layout, structural loads, site conditions, and project requirements.
Posts & Beams
Posts, beams, bearing points, and structural connections are coordinated with the deck span, elevation, and approved framing plan.
Deck Framing
Joists, blocking, rim framing, hangers, ties, and other framing components are installed as part of the approved deck structure.
Decking Installation
Wood or composite decking can be installed with the board layout, framing, fastening, stairs, and finish details coordinated together.
Railings & Stairs
Guardrails, handrails, stairs, stringers, treads, and landings can be incorporated into the complete deck design.
Fascia & Finish Details
Fascia, trim, borders, breaker boards, and other approved finish details can be integrated into the finished deck.
Planning a New Deck
Size, elevation, structure, decking, stairs, and railings should be planned together.
Deck Size & Layout
Length, depth, shape, access points, furniture areas, stairs, and circulation should be considered before the structural layout is set.
Deck Elevation
Height above grade affects posts, beams, stairs, guardrails, foundation layout, access, and other structural requirements.
Structural Layout
Joist direction, beam placement, post locations, spans, ledger connections, and cantilevers are coordinated as part of the approved design.
Decking Material
Wood and composite decking products can have different dimensions, framing requirements, fastening systems, and finish details.
Stairs & Railings
Stair direction, landings, railing posts, handrails, and access to the yard or patio should be incorporated into the deck layout early.
Permits & Engineering
Where required, permits, plans, engineering, and project-specific structural details are coordinated with the approved project scope.
