Our Story

How DB Portland Started

Founded in 2008 out of a small garage in Irvington, our shop has grown from a single-truck crew into a fully licensed, bonded, and insured deck-only specialist serving every Portland service area from Downtown to East Portland.

We started because we kept seeing the same thing: homeowners getting upsold on full deck replacements when a careful repair would have lasted another decade. We knew we could do better, and we have. Over 17 years and 1,250+ projects later, we still operate by that same principle.

Honest quotes. Real local craftsmanship. Materials engineered for the Pacific Northwest climate. And, most importantly, a real human answering the phone when you call.

"We don't sell decks. We solve outdoor-living problems for Portland homeowners, and we'll tell you the truth, even when it costs us the sale." โ€“ Michael R., Founder & Lead Carpenter

Our Values

What We Stand For

Four principles that shape every quote, every install, and every phone call we take.

Honest Quotes

We won't upsell what you don't need. If you call for a repair and don't need a replacement, we'll tell you. Period.

Local Craftsmanship

We hire local Portland carpenters. No out-of-state subcontractors. Every deck is built by someone who lives here.

PNW-Specific Methods

We use materials and methods rated for Portland's climate: stainless fasteners, proper flashing, ground-contact framing.

Why we don't use forms

Why We Take Calls, Not Forms

Most deck contractors funnel you through a contact form, send you a generic auto-reply, then maybe call you back in 2-3 business days. We don't do that.

  2. You receive an auto-reply
  3. You wait 2โ€“3 business days

Portland Deck Quote Today

Call (503) 782-9723 and a real person answers, not an auto-reply. We ask 4 questions: your deck size, your material (Trex, cedar, IPE, or TimberTech AZEK), your permit status, and your timeline. Safety problems get a same-day inspection. You get a written fixed quote and a 10-year structural warranty on every build.
