Composite Deck Builders in Bend and Redmond

Q: What does a composite deck cost in Bend, Oregon?

Across 102 deck builds and replacements we completed in 2025 and 2026, the typical deck project ran $35,400. Most landed between $8,900 and $103,100, and half fell between $14,100 and $64,000. Composite sits at the upper end of whatever range your project falls into, because the boards cost more up front than wood. Size, height, railing choice, and demolition move the number most. These are real project figures, not quotes.

Q: How long does it take to build a composite deck?

Anywhere from a few days to several weeks on site, depending on the project. New boards on a frame that is still sound can be done in days. A full tear-out and rebuild, especially a second-story deck with stairs and railing, runs into weeks. The same things that move the price move the schedule: size, height, demolition, and railing. Permits and design review run on their own clock and are usually the longer part of the calendar.

Deck prices split in two. About a third land between $10,000 and $30,000: smaller decks, and new boards on a frame that is still sound. Another 38% land between $30,000 and $75,000, mostly full builds. Largest single project: $239,400. Composite sits at the upper end of whatever range your project falls into.

If you build it they will come

Decks are a place where family and friends gather, and memories are made. And those memories are that much sweeter with a brand new deck. Need some help in coming up with a design? We’ll meet to discuss your needs, and create a 3D rendering so you can see exactly what you’re getting, before we even begin.

Built to last

When it comes to building your deck, we never take shortcuts. We ensure everything is built to code, the right way. Here are some of the things we do to stand out from the rest.

Our deck construction includes:

Picture Framing: This provides a professional, clean finish, framing in the decking, benches, and steps.
Breaker Boards: These eliminate the need for random butt joints, ensuring a polished appearance.
Hidden Fasteners: Utilized on composite decks, these fasteners create a seamless look between boards, minimizing visible screws.
Concrete Footings: We dig footings below the frost line for stability, ensuring your deck is properly supported. Unlike pier pads, which can shift over time, our footings prevent deck sagging or failure.
Finished Steps: Every deck includes finished steps with treads, risers, and optional handrails, providing safe and convenient access.

Composite or wood in Central Oregon

High-elevation UV, a 40-degree day-to-night swing in summer, and freeze-thaw cycling all winter. Central Oregon is harder on a deck than the temperature suggests. Here is how the two materials actually compare here.

Swipe the table to see the wood column

	Composite	Natural wood
Lifespan	30+ years	About 25 years, maintained
Upkeep	Wash it	Sand, clean, and stain on a cycle
Up-front cost	Higher	Lower
Cost over 20 years	Lower	Higher, once you count stain and labor
UV at elevation	Holds color	Greys, then needs stripping
Freeze-thaw	Stable	Cups, cracks, pops fasteners
Splinters and rot	Neither	Both, eventually
Fire rating	Rated, varies by line	Varies by species and treatment
Summer surface heat	Warmer, cooler lines available	Cooler
Looks like wood	Close, and getting closer	It is wood

We build both, and we do not keep decking in stock, so nothing in the yard is pushing the recommendation. If you love the look of natural wood, say so. We will tell you honestly what you are signing up for.

Watch the process

Get started today

Pick the time that works best for your bid appointment. We'll save your spot and follow up to confirm the time you selected.

The part you will never see

A deck fails from the frame up, not the boards down. Most of what you pay a builder for sits underneath the part you walk on.

Footings below the frost line

Poured concrete, dug below frost depth. Not pier pads set on grade. Pads shift when the ground heaves, and the ground here heaves every year.

Framing sized for your snow load

Posts, beams, and joists spec'd for the snow your address actually gets. Sunriver is not Redmond.

Joist spacing to manufacturer spec

Composite needs tighter spacing than wood, and tighter still on a diagonal layout. Get this wrong and the boards telegraph every joist.

Hidden fasteners

Boards lock from the side, so no screw heads read across the surface.

Breaker boards

They remove the random butt joints that make a long deck look pieced together.

Flashing where the deck meets the house

That joint is where rot starts on a deck that otherwise looks fine. We flash and drain it properly.

A final inspection before we call it done

Every project, every time.

What we find under decks that looked fine

These are real Central Oregon decks. In every one of them the surface looked acceptable from above.

Deck ledger board opened up to reveal framing rotted through beneath an intact deck surface — The ledger opened up. The boards on top were still walkable.

Close view of a deck beam rotted and splintered through its full depth — A beam rotted through its full depth. This is what carries the snow.

Spalled concrete with rusted rebar pushing through, removed from under a failing deck — Spalled concrete, rebar rusting out. Pulled from under a failing deck.

Ask about snow load

Ask any builder what snow load they framed your deck for. If the answer is vague, keep calling. Snow load is a framing question, not a decking question, and no board you choose changes what the structure underneath has to carry. A deck framed for Bend and built in Sunriver is under-built, and you will not find out in a mild winter. It is the single most common thing we see done wrong on decks built by somebody else.

Before and after

Let's Talk

Which deck material should you choose?

Frequently asked questions

What a deck costs, how long it takes, what permit you need, and what snow load we frame for. The questions Central Oregon homeowners actually ask us, answered straight.

What does a composite deck cost in Bend, Oregon?

Composite decking is ideal for durability and low maintenance, while treated wood offers natural beauty but requires regular upkeep. Proper care of deck boards, including sanding, cleaning, and staining, is essential for maintaining a wooden deck. Choose between the two materials based on your preferences.

How long does it take to build a composite deck?

Yes and no—it depends on your specific project. You don’t need a permit if your deck is less than 30 inches off the ground, has three stairs or fewer, or if you’re simply replacing the surface while keeping the existing substructure intact. However, permits are required for larger or elevated decks, as well as for projects involving significant structural changes. Reach out to us for a quote and consulting on permitting!

Do I need a permit to build a deck in Deschutes County?

It depends on the project. You generally do not need a permit if the deck is less than 30 inches off the ground, has three stairs or fewer, or if you are replacing only the surface and keeping the existing substructure intact. Permits are required for larger or elevated decks and for significant structural changes. We coordinate Deschutes County permitting county-wide, so assume a permit is required and let us confirm it for your project.

What snow load do you frame a deck for in Central Oregon?

We size posts, beams, and joists for the ground snow load at your specific address, which varies across Central Oregon. Snow load is a framing question, not a decking question, so no board choice changes what the structure underneath has to carry. A deck framed for Bend and built in Sunriver is under-built. This is the single most common thing we find done wrong on decks built by someone else.

Which Trex and TimberTech decking lines can I choose from?

All of them. We do not keep decking in stock, so there is no inventory pushing the recommendation. We order the line that fits your project, your budget, and your exposure. Trex runs from Enhance at the value end through Select, Transcend, Transcend Lineage, and Signature at the top, with limited residential warranties of 25, 35, and 50 years by tier. TimberTech splits into advanced PVC and composite collections. We bring real samples to the bid so you can see them in your own light against your own siding.

What is the lifespan of a composite deck versus a wood deck?

Composite decks last 30 or more years with minimal maintenance, typically just washing. Wood decks last around 25 years with regular sanding, cleaning, and staining. Wood costs less up front and more over time. In Central Oregon, high-elevation UV and freeze-thaw cycling are harder on wood than the temperature alone suggests.

Can you build a deck in the winter in Central Oregon?

Yes. Footings and framing go in through most of the winter here. Hard frozen ground and deep snow can push a start date. Winter is a good time to design, permit, and land on the spring build schedule.
