In a city where rain is part of the rhythm of life, Taylor Hoagland has built something lasting: Structures that stand firm, decks that feel like home, and a company rooted in care. As founder of Proper Built, Taylor brings humble leadership and a deep respect for the Pacific Northwest into every project. Raised here, he knows what works, what lasts, and what turns a backyard into a place you actually use year-round.

Every deck Taylor and the Proper Built team builds reflects the company’s values: Purposeful design, weather-smart materials, and craftsmanship that speaks for itself over time.

What sets Taylor and Proper Built apart is a hands-on, detail-driven process. From the first walk-through to the final finish nail, Taylor’s team works with transparency, care, and uncommon precision. The goal isn’t just to build something beautiful; it’s to make the process feel easy, informed, and personal.

Whether it’s a TimberTech composite deck built to withstand Portland’s wet seasons, or a covered structure designed for gathering, Proper Built is about creating spaces that age gracefully and experiences that feel memorable long after the sawdust clears.
