What We Do

Outdoor Spaces Builtfor Oregon Living.

Oregon summers are short. The right outdoor space makes you use every one of them. Whether it's a deck off the back of your house, a covered patio for year-round use, or a full outdoor living area with fencing and structure — the difference between a space you love and one you avoid is how well it was built.

Start to Finish Construction designs and builds outdoor living spaces that are properly permitted, engineered for Oregon's weather, and finished to complement your home's architecture. All built in-house, by our own crew.

Why Start To Finish

Built for Oregon.Permitted. Engineered.

  • 01

    Engineered For The Climate

    Oregon's rain and temperature swings expose every shortcut in an outdoor build. We use materials and methods rated for this climate specifically.

  • 02

    Permits Handled In-House

    We manage every permit application, inspection, and approval — so you don't have to navigate the process or risk building a structure you can't sell with.

    Framing, roofing, electrical, and finishing — all done by our team. No handoffs, no gaps, no chasing multiple contractors to get the job done.

Common Questions

Outdoor Living FAQs.

Do I need a permit for a deck in Oregon?+

Most decks over 30 inches above grade or attached to the home require a building permit in Oregon. We handle the full permitting process — application, inspections, and approval — as part of every project.

How long does it take to build a deck or covered patio?+

A standard deck build takes 1 to 3 weeks depending on size and complexity. A covered patio or pergola with electrical typically runs 3 to 4 weeks. We include a clear timeline in your proposal.

What decking material do you recommend for Oregon?+

We typically recommend composite decking for low-maintenance longevity, or cedar for a natural look with proper sealing. We'll walk through the pros, cons, and price difference during your consultation.

Can you build a covered patio usable in winter?+

Yes. A properly roofed and partially enclosed covered patio extends your outdoor season significantly in Oregon. We can add heating rough-in, outdoor-rated lighting, and weather-resistant materials to make the space genuinely year-round.

What areas do you serve?+

We serve Sandy, Oregon and the Portland metro area — including Portland, Gresham, Troutdale, Boring, Estacada, and surrounding communities.
