Complete Deck Building Solutions
Residential and Commercial Decking
[01]
Homes, businesses, porches, rooftops. Dr.Decks handles them all. Jason uses premium PVC, composite, and exotic wood materials and engineers every structure to hold up through years of Pacific Northwest weather.
Deck Railing
[02]
A great railing does two things: keeps people safe and makes the deck look complete. Jason installs, replants, and rerails systems that clear code and look like they belong.
Deck Bending
[03]
Not every deck builder in Thurston County can do this. Jason Russell is one of a select few craftsmen in the region who bends decking into curves. Sweeping edges, flowing radius boards, designs that stop people mid-sentence. Dr.Decks gets called for this specialty constantly.
Deck Lighting
[04]
Jason handles every wire and connection personally. Every Dr.Decks lighting installation is automation-ready from day one, because retrofitting later is never as clean as doing it right the first time.
Deck Automation
[05]
Lighting, audio, and climate controls that actually work together. Jason programs these systems so homeowners can manage everything without digging through a manual.
Pergolas, Cabanas and Carports
[06]
Struxure and Hideaway systems built for the Pacific Northwest. Dr.Decks turns open, exposed yards into sheltered outdoor zones that feel intentional all year long.
Porches and Patios
[07]
Jason designs porches and covered patios that flow out of the house without feeling like an afterthought. Good bones, solid connection, natural transition.
Privacy Screens
[08]
Screen walls, aluminum frames, standalone privacy panels. Jason builds privacy solutions that give you real seclusion without closing the yard off entirely.
Outdoor Living
[09]
Pavilions, fireplaces, outdoor kitchens built for weeknight use, not just holidays. Dr.Decks creates full outdoor environments for everyday living.
Gazebos
[10]
Victorian, traditional, modern, take your pick. Jason builds gazebos that feel like a permanent part of the property from day one.
3D Modeling and Rendering
[11]
You will see your finished project before a shovel touches the ground. Jason provides 3D designs and renderings, 2D floorplans, 3D printed models, and all drawings and documentation needed for permits.
Quality Decking Materials
Thurston County averages around 50 inches of rain a year. The materials going into your deck need to be ready for that. Jason selects options built for moisture resistance, dimensional stability, and long-term performance.
What Sets Dr.Decks Apart
Jason Russell has spent 35 years perfecting this craft, and Dr.Decks has the record to prove it. Over 1000 completed projects across Thurston County. A 1-year workmanship warranty extendable to 5 years. Full licensing and bonding. When you hire a deck builder from Dr.Decks, you get a craftsman who puts his name behind every board.

Awards and Recognition
Dr.Decks has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Professional Deck Builder Magazine, and Deck Specialist Magazine. Jason earned TimberTech Contractor of the Quarter recognition in 2011 alongside Rockford Fosgate. Dr.Decks won a silver medal at the Northwest Flower and Garden Show in February 2013. In 2025, NADRA named Dr.Decks the overall winner of the National+ Deck Awards for the Kiki project. That build drew on every one of Jason’s 35 years of experience. The industry said so out loud.
