Helvetia's rural character and larger lot sizes give you room to design expansive outdoor living areas that urban neighborhoods can't accommodate. Your property deserves a deck that takes full advantage of open views, natural surroundings, and the relaxed pace of Washington County countryside.
FGM Construction LLC designs and builds custom decks throughout Helvetia that complement agricultural settings and modern country homes. The area's well-drained soils and elevation variations require foundation planning that accounts for frost lines and seasonal ground shifts. From wraparound porches to elevated viewing decks, the team handles structural engineering, material sourcing, and construction with attention to both aesthetics and longevity.
You gain functional outdoor space that extends your home's footprint and creates gathering areas for family barbecues, morning coffee, or evening stargazing—all while adding significant property value.
Custom Solutions for Helvetia's Unique Properties
Helvetia homes often sit on acreage with terrain variations that create opportunities for multi-level decks, elevated platforms, and integrated landscaping features. Rural properties benefit from designs that incorporate wide stairs for hauling outdoor gear, built-in storage for tools, and covered sections that provide shade during summer months.
Material choices balance durability with maintenance realities—composite decking resists weathering without annual sealing, while cedar offers natural beauty that ages gracefully. Structural posts set in concrete footings below the frost line ensure stability through freeze-thaw cycles. Washington County building codes require specific railing heights and load-bearing standards that the team integrates seamlessly into every design. Western red cedar decking can withstand Oregon's climate for decades when properly maintained and sealed.

Helvetia's lower density and larger parcels allow for creative deck configurations that might not fit urban lots—think fire pit areas, hot tub platforms, or garden access stairs. Properly constructed decks enhance property functionality while respecting the rural aesthetic that drew you to the area. The team coordinates material delivery to accommodate longer driveways and ensures construction activity respects neighboring properties. Whether you envision a simple entertaining platform or an elaborate multi-zone outdoor room, you'll appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail.
