A Deck Crew That’s Actually Local to Scappoose
Most contractors who show up in Scappoose search results are Portland companies with a service-area page and a travel surcharge. We’re the opposite: Reno Masters is based in St Helens, ten minutes up Highway 30, and Scappoose is home turf — we bid it, build it, and come back to stand behind it.
Scappoose sites have their own quirks: low-lying lots near the bay that stay damp most of the year, shaded properties where moss wins if the materials are wrong, and hillside homes west of town where a deck is really about the view. We size footings for the soil, flash the ledger so the house never rots behind the deck, and pick materials for how much sun and moisture your specific lot actually gets.
- New custom decks — cedar and composite (Trex-style PVC-capped boards)
- Covered decks & patio covers — timber-framed roofs for year-round use
- Deck replacements — new structure on the footprint you already love
- Railings & stairs — wood, metal baluster, and cable rail for view lots
- Deck repair — soft spots, wobbly rails, failing stairs

Questions Scappoose Homeowners Ask Us
Do I need a permit to build a deck in Scappoose?
Inside city limits, decks that are attached to the house, covered, or more than 30″ above grade generally need a permit through the City of Scappoose. Outside city limits — Warren and unincorporated south Columbia County — permitting runs through the county instead. We sort out which applies and handle the permit as part of the project.
What does a new deck cost in Scappoose?
As a rough guide: cedar decks typically run $40–$60 per square foot built; composite $60–$90 per square foot — driven by height, railings, stairs, and site conditions. A covered roof structure adds the framing and roofing cost. Firm written bid after a free site visit.
Do you charge extra to travel to Scappoose?
No. We’re based in St Helens, about ten minutes up Highway 30 — Scappoose is core service area, not an out-of-town trip we bill for. Estimates are free.
What decking holds up best on wet or low-lying lots?
For damp, shaded, or low-lying sites we usually recommend composite decking over a pressure-treated frame with joist protection and ventilation underneath — it shrugs off the moss and moisture that eat unmaintained cedar. Cedar still works well on sunnier, well-drained lots if you keep up on staining. We’ll quote both if you’re deciding.
Can you build a covered deck so we can use it through the rainy season?
Yes — covered decks are one of the things we build most. A timber-framed roof over part or all of the deck means the space works in November, not just July. Most builds take 1–2 weeks on site once permits are in hand.
