Outdoor Living Contractor • Bellevue, Washington

Gazebos, Pergolas, Decks & Outdoor Living Built to Last

Create a comfortable outdoor room that fits your home, your lifestyle, and the Pacific Northwest climate. Our team designs and builds structures that look right, drain right, and hold up in real weather—from summer sun to winter rain.

What We Build

Custom Gazebos

From quiet garden retreats to large entertainment pavilions, we build freestanding and attached gazebos with solid roofs, proper footings, and clean detailing. Options include cedar or pressure‑treated framing, composite or natural decking underfoot, integrated seating, and electrical rough‑in for lighting or heaters.

Pergolas & Shade Structures

Open‑air pergolas add shade and definition to patios, decks, and outdoor kitchens. Choose wood or powder‑coated aluminum with modern lines, patterned rafters, or louvered systems. We plan spans and post spacing to suit wind and snow loads in King County.

Decks & Railings

New builds and replacements in composite, hardwood, or kiln‑dried lumber. We install concealed fasteners, stainless hardware, and code‑compliant guardrails with clear sightlines. Ask about resurfacing aging structures and rebuilding to current standards.

Outdoor Kitchens

Cooking outside should feel as smooth as your indoor setup. We handle gas line coordination, GFCI electrical, weather‑resistant cabinets, stone or porcelain tops, and ventilation planning. Layouts can include grills, side burners, fridges, sinks, and storage.

Patios, Pavers & Walkways

Proper base prep is the difference between a surface that stays flat and one that settles. We grade, compact, and edge for patios that drain away from the house. Materials include concrete pavers, porcelain pavers on pedestals, and natural stone.

Lighting, Heating & Weatherproofing

Add low‑glare LED path lighting, dimmable overhead fixtures, infrared heaters, and wind screens. We specify corrosion‑resistant components and smart controls that handle damp conditions without fuss.

Our Process

1) Site Visit & Plan

We walk your property, take measurements, and talk through use cases: weekday dinners, weekend gatherings, quiet workspace, or a covered spa. We verify utility locations and drainage patterns, then outline footprint, roof style, and material options with an initial budget range.

2) Fixed‑Scope Proposal

You receive a written scope, timeline, and price with allowances where choices remain. We note exclusions so there are no loose ends. If permits are required, we identify the submittals and lead the process.

3) Permitting & Engineering

In Bellevue, accessory structures and decks often need permits based on height, setbacks, and proximity to critical areas. We prepare drawings, coordinate structural calcs when needed, and submit to the city for review.

4) Build & Closeout

Crews keep the site orderly, protect landscaping, and communicate daily progress. Final steps include punch‑list walkthrough, care instructions, and a warranty document.

Materials We Trust

  • Framing: Cedar and pressure‑treated lumber; engineered posts and beams where spans require.
  • Roofing: Architectural shingles, metal panels, or polycarbonate panels for filtered light.
  • Decking: Composite boards with hidden fasteners, premium hardwoods, or quality PT options.
  • Footings: Concrete piers sized to soil conditions; option for helical piles in sensitive sites.
  • Hardware: Hot‑dip galvanized or stainless connections rated for exterior use.
  • Finishes: Low‑VOC stains and sealers matched to the Northwest palette.

We size members for local snow, wind, and seismic requirements and specify corrosion protection for long service life.

Permits & Guidelines in Bellevue, WA

Building rules depend on structure size, height, and location on the lot. Many gazebos and decks require permits when over specific thresholds or when located near slopes, streams, or wetlands. Common checkpoints include property line setbacks, maximum coverage, guardrail height, and stair geometry. We coordinate with the City of Bellevue and keep submittals moving so your project stays on schedule.

If your home sits within a critical area or steep slope zone, additional reviews may apply. We prepare what is needed up front—site plan, structural notes, product sheets—to reduce back‑and‑forth during review.

Neighborhood Considerations

From Lakemont and Somerset to Newport Hills and Eastgate, lot shapes, views, and wind exposure vary widely. We orient structures for natural light, plan footings around roots where possible, and design drainage so rain goes where it should. For lakefront properties, we plan corrosion‑resistant fasteners and careful access routing to protect landscaping.

Pricing & Timelines

Every site is different, but transparent pricing and a clear schedule are non‑negotiable. You’ll know exactly what is included before work begins. We provide options at a few price points and explain the trade‑offs—materials, detailing, and long‑term maintenance—so you can pick with confidence.

  • Final cleanup and walkthrough

Warranty & Care

You receive a written workmanship warranty at closeout along with product literature and care tips for the materials selected.

Planning Tips

Size & Layout

Start with furniture: a table for six needs about 10×10 feet clear, while a lounge area with a sectional and coffee table typically needs at least 12×14 feet. Leave space for walkways, grill zones, and stairs. If you plan for a hot tub, account for structural load and service clearances.

Weather & Comfort

Roof overhangs, skylights, and screens control sun and wind. In cooler months, infrared heaters extend use without blasting hot air. Lighting should be layered: task lighting for cooking, ambient lights for evenings, and step lights for safety.

Drainage

Keep water away from the house with correct slopes, downspout routing, and permeable surfaces where appropriate. We add cleanouts and access panels so future maintenance stays simple.

Maintenance

Wood structures benefit from periodic washing and resealing; composite decking mainly needs soap and water. Hardware lasts longer when rinsed after storms. We can schedule seasonal checks to keep everything solid and looking fresh year after year.

Safety & Code

Guardrails, stair rise/run, and lighting levels all matter for safe daily use. We build to current code and document concealed work with photos for your records.

Resale & Value

Well‑planned outdoor rooms feel like part of the home. Clean lines, durable materials, and proportions that respect the architecture help spaces age gracefully and support resale value.

Why Homeowners Choose Us

Clear Communication

We set expectations up front, provide regular updates, and keep the jobsite tidy and safe.

Detail‑Driven Craft

Flashing, fasteners, and drainage are handled with care—the parts you don’t see matter just as much as the visible finish.

Responsible Scheduling

We sequence trades, order materials early, and protect your timeline with realistic lead times.

Color Scheme

Projects in the Northwest look best with a grounded palette. We often pair natural cedar with charcoal metals, warm gray pavers, and subtle greens. Below are the working values used on this page if you want to match branding:

You can reference or adjust these values for proposal documents and future pages.
