Wahlriss Construction - Portland's Reliable Wood and Vinyl Fencing

Deck replacement means removing your old, unsafe, or worn-out deck and building a new one from the ground up. We recommend replacement if you notice widespread rot, loose connections, or if your deck is over 20 years old. Our team handles everything—from demolition to new construction—using eco-friendly materials and modern building techniques. We'll help you choose the right wood or composite for Portland's rainy climate.

Yes, we can often repair individual sections or posts if the damage is localized. We'll inspect your fence to determine if a repair is structurally sound and cost-effective. For example, replacing a few rotted boards or resetting a leaning post is usually faster and more affordable than a full replacement. If the damage is widespread or the wood is failing, we'll explain why a full replacement may be the better long-term option.

Portland's frequent rain and acidic soil can cause wood fences to rot, warp, or lean over time. We recommend using pressure-treated wood or cedar, which naturally resists moisture and decay. For extra protection, we apply a high-quality wood stain that seals the wood and prevents water damage. We also install proper drainage and post anchors to keep your fence stable. Our crew is experienced with local soil types and weather patterns, so we can suggest the best materials and techniques for your specific yard.
