SEATTLE, WA – July 14, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Alki Decks, a Seattle-based custom deck builder, has expanded its services to include residential dock construction for lakefront and shoreline homeowners. The addition allows waterfront property owners to work with a single contractor for both dock and deck projects rather than coordinating separate companies.
Waterfront projects frequently slow down in permitting, and coordinating a dock and a deck through separate contractors can compound those delays. The expansion is intended to keep both types of work on one timeline under one point of contact. It builds on the company’s permitting experience for shoreline properties, developed over more than 10 years and 300-plus completed projects across shoreline environments, environmentally critical areas, and sites that require geotechnical reports.
That experience extends to difficult ground conditions, including steep slopes, liquefaction zones, and landslide-prone terrain. For both docks and elevated decks, the company builds on helical piles, pin piles, and traditional concrete footings selected to match each site, since soils near shorelines are often soft or prone to shifting.
“Waterfront homeowners often line up one company for a dock and another for a deck, and the two rarely connect,” said Luke Triemstra, owner of Alki Decks. “Handling both under one roof gives them a single point of accountability from permitting through the finished build.”
“The hardest part of a waterfront project is usually the ground it sits on and the permitting that goes with it,” Triemstra added. “That challenge is much the same whether the structure is a dock or a deck, so offering both was a natural step.”
Alongside the new dock work, the company continues to design and build custom decks, managing design, framing, permitting, and construction with 3D modeling. Projects span materials ranging from cedar and exotic hardwoods to composite and PVC, and styles that include multi-level, rooftop, and covered decks.
Additional options include frameless glass railings that preserve water views, integrated deck lighting, and underdeck systems that create dry, usable space beneath elevated decks. The company also builds pergolas, patios, outdoor kitchens, fire features, and saunas suited to the Pacific Northwest climate.
Alki Decks provides a seven-year workmanship warranty on steel-frame decks and a two-year warranty on wood decks, and offers free consultations, including virtual options.
