“Maks and his crew did an amazing job renovating our porch and deck. We must have had 15 companies come and talk through the project with quotes. No one else came close to doing the same amount of work for the price. The deck and porch turned out nicer than we even imagined.”

Redmond neighborhoods we serve

Type your neighborhood or ZIP code to check coverage and see what decks there usually need.

Downtown

98052

One of Redmond's urban centers. For lots within 200 ft of the Sammamish River, we check shoreline jurisdiction before design.

Education Hill

98052

We check slopes against Redmond's landslide hazard definition, 40% with 10 ft of relief, before siting footings.

Overlake

98052

Redmond's other urban center. We confirm the deck's height, size, and attachment early, since together they set the permit.

Grass Lawn

98052

A freestanding deck of 200 sq ft or less and 30 in. or lower can skip the permit; we show you which side of the line your plan falls on.

Idylwood

98052

Lots within 200 ft of Lake Sammamish are in shoreline jurisdiction, with a 35 ft structure setback, so we check yours first.

Bear Creek

98052

Bear Creek is a regulated shoreline where its flow reaches 20 cfs, so we check how close your lot is before design.

North Redmond & Willows/Rose Hill

98052

98052 covers about 90% of Redmond's land. We confirm city limits and note trees 6 inches and larger near the deck.

What Redmond deck plans need

Four permit triggers

Redmond's code (RMC 15.08.060) exempts a deck only when it is 200 sq ft or less, no more than 30 inches above grade at any point, not attached to the house, and not serving the required exit door. A deck built off the back of the house is attached, so it needs a permit at any height. Part of 98053 lies outside city limits, so we confirm which office applies first.

Lake Sammamish and river shorelines

Redmond's shoreline jurisdiction covers land within 200 ft of Lake Sammamish and the Sammamish River, plus Bear and Evans creeks. On Lake Sammamish, structures above grade must sit at least 35 ft back from the ordinary high water mark. We check your lot against these lines before design.

Landslide hazard slopes

Redmond treats slopes of 40% or more with at least 10 ft of vertical relief as landslide hazard areas, with a minimum 50 ft buffer. We check the ground around a planned deck before placing footings or drawing a raised deck.

Tree removal permits

Removing any significant tree, 6 inches in diameter at 4.5 ft above grade, needs a Redmond tree removal permit, and landmark trees over 30 inches need a Tree Exception Request. We lay out decks and footings around trees instead of assuming they can go.

Newer homes, aging decks

About 74% of Redmond's housing was built in 1980 or later, and only 2.5% before 1960. Decks built with those homes are now decades old, so we inspect the framing, ledger, and footings before choosing between repair, resurfacing, and replacement.

Local design loads and rain

Redmond's code table sets a 12 in. frost line, 110 mph design wind, and 15 psf ground snow load, and we frame decks and covers to match. The nearest NOAA station, Sand Point, averages 37.8 inches of rain over 163 days a year, so capped boards, flashing, and airflow under the deck matter.

TRY IT

Does your Redmond deck need a permit?

Is the deck floor more than 30 in. above the ground?

Is it attached to the house?

Is it larger than 200 sq ft?

Does a door from the house open onto it?

Is the lot on a steep slope, near a shoreline, or in a wetland buffer?

Anything else?
Likely permit in Redmond

Building permit from the City of Redmond

A permit is needed because it's more than 30 in. above grade, it's attached to the house, it serves an exit door.

From RMC 15.08.060 (IRC R105.2 as amended, item 10). The exit door is the one required by IRC R311.4. Some 98053 addresses are outside city limits.

Based on the City of Redmond's published rules. The city makes the final call; we confirm for your address before pricing.

SERVICE AREA

Our Redmond service area

Cactus Decking is based in Everett, about 15 miles away, and builds, replaces, and repairs decks throughout Redmond.

Redmond deck projects often combine wooded exposure with active family use and year-round outdoor goals. We consider drainage below the deck, slip-conscious surfaces, railing safety, and zones for dining or seating. Established landscaping, utility access, and neighborhood requirements can also influence the layout and construction sequence.

A Redmond estimate begins with the actual property rather than a citywide assumption. We review the existing structure or proposed footprint, access, drainage, stairs, railings, material exposure, permit needs, and how the household plans to use the space. That review determines which service and material options are appropriate.

Common deck questions in Redmond

Is there a deck builder near me in Redmond?

Yes. Cactus Decking serves Redmond from 12029 24th Ave SE in Everett, about 19 driving miles from Redmond City Hall. ZIP code 98052 covers about 90% of the city, from Downtown and Education Hill to Overlake, Grass Lawn, and Idylwood. Estimates are free, on site, and written, and our work carries a 10-year workmanship warranty.

Do I need a permit to build a deck in Redmond?

Usually, yes. Redmond requires a permit for any deck that is attached to the house, over 200 sq ft, more than 30 inches above grade, or serves the home's required exit door. Only a detached deck of 200 sq ft or less, 30 inches or lower, and away from the exit door is exempt. Cactus Decking draws the plans and handles the application.

How much does a deck cost in Redmond?

Our typical projects range from about $20,000 for a 12 × 12 ft composite deck with aluminum railing to about $70,000 for a 500 sq ft custom PVC deck with lighting and built-in seating. In Redmond, size, height, slope, and shoreline review move the price most. Every estimate is free and written.

Can I build a small deck in Redmond without a permit?

Yes, if it meets all four limits: 200 sq ft or less, no more than 30 inches above grade at any point, not attached to the house, and not serving the required exit door. A freestanding platform in the yard often fits. Shoreline and critical-area rules still apply. We can size a deck to stay under the limits.

Can I build a deck near Lake Sammamish in Redmond?

Yes, within the shoreline rules. Land within 200 ft of Lake Sammamish is in Redmond's shoreline jurisdiction, and structures above grade must sit at least 35 ft back from the ordinary high water mark, unless reduced under RZC 21.68.060.B. The Sammamish River and Bear and Evans creeks are shorelines too. We check your lot first.
