At Proper Built, the goal has always been simple—build high-quality decks that bring families together and stand the test of time. What started as a passion for craftsmanship has grown into a trusted name in deck building throughout the Portland Metro Area.
As a locally owned deck contractor, Proper Built understands the unique needs of homeowners in Portland, Oregon. The weather, the terrain, and the desire for a seamless outdoor space all factor into every project. With a focus on thoughtful design, durability, and functionality, Proper Built ensures each deck is a lasting extension of the home.
The company has already earned industry recognition, including a TimberTech award for best deck under $50,000. While awards are appreciated, the real reward is seeing homeowners enjoy their new outdoor spaces.
Proper Built isn’t just about building decks—it’s about creating outdoor spaces that homeowners love and enjoy for years. Every project is led by skilled craftsmen who take pride in their work, using only high-quality materials and innovative techniques. No two decks are the same because every homeowner has different needs, and Proper Built ensures each design is tailored to fit the home’s space, style, and function.
A deck is only as strong as its materials and expertise, so Proper Built focuses on using top-tier products and precision construction methods. Every detail is carefully considered, whether it’s a natural wood deck built for a timeless appeal or a composite deck designed for low maintenance. Proper Built follows industry best practices and cutting-edge design principles to ensure durability, functionality, and long-lasting beauty.
A deck should reflect the homeowner’s lifestyle, whether a cozy retreat for quiet mornings or a spacious entertaining area for gatherings. Proper Built takes a tailored approach, working closely with each client to design a deck that fits their vision while considering the specific climate and terrain of the Portland Metro Area. From unique layouts to specialized features like integrated lighting, custom railings, and covered structures, every detail is carefully planned to create a space that feels like a natural home extension.
