Our Services

Premier Deck & Fence Building Services in Oregon

Wades Services brings 15 years of hands-on building experience to residential yards across Oregon. Rainy winters, soft ground, and damp air mean outdoor structures around here need proper framing and solid footings to hold up over time. Whether you want a sturdy cedar fence, a composite deck that will not rot, or a screened porch, we build solid structures tailored to your property.

Locally Owned

Built for Oregon Rain, Wood Rot, and Real Life

Backyards around here get put through the wringer every winter. Standing water around post bases, moss taking over wood planks, and soil settling on slopes can ruin a light-duty installation in just a few seasons. We are a locally owned team that builds outdoor spaces designed for Northwest weather conditions.

We work directly with you from the first site walk to the final inspection—no middle managers or vague timelines. Whether you need a simple privacy fence along a property line, a sprawling deck for summer barbecues, or a dry storage shed, we construct solid features that last.

What We Build

What We Build for Your Yard

We construct custom outdoor structures tailored to your site conditions, property layout, and daily routine.

Wood Decks & Custom Builds

Real wood provides warmth and natural structure that synthetic materials try to copy. We build pressure-treated pine and cedar decks with sturdy joist framing, proper board spacing for drainage, and code-compliant railings. Every deck we build accounts for slope and weight distribution so your surface stays level for years.

Low-Maintenance Composite Decking

If you want to skip the yearly routine of pressure washing and staining deck boards, composite decking makes sense. Modern composite materials resist moisture, warping, and splintering. We set up solid underlying framing with hidden fasteners, giving your deck a clean finish that handles persistent rain without rotting.

Cedar & Treated Wood Fences

Cedar remains popular across Oregon because natural oils in the wood resist decay and insect damage. We build board-on-board, picture frame, and classic dog-ear fences using solid hardware and deep-set posts. Anchored in concrete below the frost line, our wood fences stay straight through strong winter windstorms.

Powder-Coated Aluminum

Aluminum fencing offers clean lines and boundary security without rust issues. It handles heavy rainfall and sprinklers without corroding, making it a reliable choice for pool enclosures, garden perimeters, and property lines where you want security without blocking the view.

Low-Upkeep Vinyl Panels

Vinyl fencing gives you a solid privacy barrier that never requires paint or stain. The non-porous surface wipes down easily and prevents algae from taking root. We set up vinyl panels with heavy-duty bottom rails so they hold firm against gusts and seasonal storms.

Covered Porch & Patio Surfaces

Exterior flooring creates a clean transition between your home and your yard. We lay durable outdoor surface materials over solid, well-drained sub-bases to stop shifting and water pooling. These surfaces give you safe footing year-round under covered porches or open outdoor areas.

Screen Rooms & Porch Enclosures

A screen enclosure lets you enjoy fresh air without fighting off mosquitoes or ducking out of drizzles. We convert existing porches or build new screened enclosures using rot-resistant framing and heavy-duty screening, giving you a quiet spot for morning coffee or outdoor reading.

Custom Backyard Sheds

When garage space runs out, a custom shed gives you targeted storage for mowers, garden tools, and outdoor equipment. We grade the base, pour footings, and frame solid walls topped with weatherproof roofing, building each structure to fit your site and local building codes.

What Your Neighbors Say About Us

Read honest reviews from local homeowners who hired Wades Services to build custom decks, replace rot, or secure their yards with new fencing.

“We had Daniel build a composite deck off our kitchen in Keizer last spring. He walked the whole yard first and pointed out a drainage problem near the house that two other bids had missed. The TimberTech boards look great, the railing is rock solid, and there wasn’t a single screw or scrap left in the grass when they finished.”

“Replaced 140 feet of leaning fence with board-on-board cedar. Crew showed up when they said they would, set every post in concrete, and the line is dead straight. We had that big wind in December and it didn’t budge. Fair price, no surprise add-ons.”

“Our backyard slopes hard toward the pool, and I was worried an aluminum fence would leave big gaps at the bottom. Daniel racked the panels to follow the grade and it looks like it was made for the yard. Gates latch properly and it passed inspection the first time.”

“Our 20-year-old deck was soft in spots and bouncy. Wades Services tore it out, poured new footings, and rebuilt it with proper flashing at the ledger. Daniel handled the permit and the inspector. Rain pushed us back a couple of days but he kept us in the loop the whole time. Highly recommend.”

“Vinyl privacy fence and a double gate for the side yard. What stood out was the little stuff: they kept the gate closed so our dog couldn’t get out, hauled off the old fence the same day, and swept the driveway before they left. Fence hasn’t rattled once in the wind.”

“We wanted a shed that didn’t look like a plastic box dropped in the yard. Daniel matched the siding and roof color to our house and built it on a proper gravel pad so it stays dry. Later had them screen in the back porch too. Same clean, careful work both times.”

FAQ

Common Questions Before We Start

Where do you travel for builds?

We build decks and fences for homeowners across Oregon and nearby local communities. Because our crew lives and works in the area, we know local soil conditions, HOA guidelines, and county rules. Call us to check our current build schedule for your address.

How many days will construction take?

Most residential fences take two to four days once posts are set in concrete. A standard wood or composite deck takes roughly one to two weeks, depending on yard elevation, steps, and railing design. We keep you updated daily on our progress or weather delays.

Which fence materials handle wet weather best?

Western Red Cedar is the best natural choice because natural oils resist rot and moisture. For complete rot protection, vinyl and aluminum hold up indefinitely without needing sealers. For any wood fence, setting pressure-treated posts deep in concrete footings stops soil rot at ground level.

Is composite decking really worth the extra money?

Composite decking costs more upfront but eliminates the need for staining, sealing, and scrub treatments every couple of years. It will not warp, splinter, or rot in damp Northwest weather. If you plan to stay in your home long-term, savings on maintenance supplies and labor offset the higher material cost.

Will my project need a building permit?

It depends on height and location. Freestanding ground decks under 30 inches tall often do not require permits in many cities. Elevated decks, structures attached to your house, and privacy fences over six feet almost always require permits. We manage permit filings and local inspection requests for you.

Do you replace old rot or build fresh from scratch?

We handle both. If your existing deck frame is structurally sound, we can strip worn surface boards and install fresh cedar or composite planks. If joists or posts show structural decay, or if an old fence is leaning, we pull out the old framing completely and rebuild from scratch.

What drives the overall cost up or down?

Total costs vary based on material selection—treated pine costs less, while cedar, composite, vinyl, and aluminum cost more. Steep slopes, rock-heavy soil, hand-digging near utility lines, and custom details like integrated seating or multi-level steps also add labor hours to the build.

How much work is required down the road?

Wood fences and decks need a fresh coat of clear water-repellent sealer or stain every two to three years to block rot. Composite decking and vinyl fences need little attention—an occasional wash with mild detergent and water keeps them clean. We provide straightforward care tips after every build.
