Build the Outdoor Living Space You Deserve
Secure Deck Installation and Replacement in Hillsboro
A deteriorating deck with warped boards, loose railings, and faded finishes detracts from your home's appearance and poses safety risks for anyone using the space. When repairs no longer make sense, full deck replacement provides a fresh start with modern materials that resist rot, fading, and splintering. FGM Construction LLC delivers deck installation and replacement services throughout Hillsboro, handling every step from demolition to final railing installation. With over seven years dedicated to deck projects, the team understands how to build structures that endure the Pacific Northwest's damp climate while enhancing outdoor functionality.
You'll work directly with experienced builders who discuss your vision, help select materials, tear down your existing deck, and construct your new outdoor space using your preferred decking and railing systems. We offer both top-quality composite decking and cedar decking, giving you the choice between low-maintenance synthetic boards or traditional wood with natural beauty. Composite resists moisture and insects without staining, while cedar provides warmth and character with proper sealing.

How Our Process Works
Your project begins with an on-site consultation where we measure your existing deck or the area for a new build, assess the condition of support posts and joists, and discuss design preferences. In Hillsboro, soil conditions and drainage patterns influence foundation choices, so we inspect the ground beneath your deck to determine the best footing approach for stability.
FGM Construction LLC removes your old deck, hauling away all debris and disposing of materials responsibly. We then install new support posts, attach joists using galvanized joist hangers, and lay decking boards with consistent spacing for drainage and expansion. You'll be able to choose between composite decking for virtually maintenance-free performance or cedar decking for a classic look that ages gracefully. We install wood or metal railings based on your style preferences and local code requirements.
After decking and railings are secure, we perform a final inspection to ensure every board is fastened properly and all railings meet height and spacing standards. You'll receive a deck that's ready for furniture, planters, and outdoor gatherings without any concerns about structural integrity. Our work includes cleanup, a walkthrough of care instructions, and answers to any questions about maintaining your new deck for years of reliable use.
How long does deck replacement take?
Most residential deck replacements are completed in one to two weeks, depending on deck size, design complexity, and weather conditions. We provide a detailed timeline during the consultation phase.
What's the benefit of composite over wood?
Composite decking resists rot, insects, and fading without requiring staining or sealing. It maintains color consistency and stays splinter-free, making it ideal for households with children and pets.
Can you customize deck shapes and features?
Yes, we design decks with multiple levels, built-in benches, planter boxes, and custom railing styles. Our team works with your layout preferences to create a functional outdoor space that fits your property.
Do you handle permits for deck projects?
We guide you through the permit process and ensure your deck complies with Hillsboro building codes, including setback distances, railing height, and load-bearing requirements. Proper permits protect your investment and avoid future complications.
How do I decide between cedar and composite?
Cedar offers natural beauty and a traditional look but requires regular sealing to prevent moisture damage. Composite costs more upfront but eliminates maintenance and lasts longer, making it a better choice for those seeking convenience.
