About Deck Masters

Portland’s Trusted Outdoor Living Specialists

Big enough to handle the boldest project. Small enough to care.

Deck Masters is a tight-knit team of 11 deck and outdoor construction specialists serving the Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington metro areas. Led by Owner and President Chris Marquand, Project Manager Matt McManus, and Estimator and Design Consultant Nick Glaze, our team brings decades of experience in housing, remodeling, customer service, and outdoor construction to guide you personally through every step of your build. Matt brings extensive nuts-and-bolts construction knowledge from more than 25 years in the housing and outdoor construction industry, including over 12 years with Deck Masters. Nick brings over 20 years of customer service and sales expertise, with 7 years at Deck Masters helping homeowners understand their options, compare value, and feel confident in the proposal process. Both Matt and Nick started with Deck Masters working in the field, giving them ground-up knowledge that helps them guide each project with practical insight, clear communication, and real accountability.

That same accountability carries through to the people building your project. We staff our own carpenters, and our lead carpenters are vetted, experienced, and trusted members of the Deck Masters team. We do not simply sub out the work and hope for the best. Together with our dedicated craftsmen, our team listens carefully, communicates clearly, and brings the precise attention to detail your custom outdoor project deserves from day one.

We understand what it takes to create outdoor living spaces that are beautiful, functional, structurally sound, and built to last in the Pacific Northwest. We specialize in custom decks, patio covers, fences, railings, outdoor structures, and complete backyard transformations. Whether you are replacing an aging deck, upgrading to low-maintenance composite decking, adding a covered outdoor living area, or creating a more usable space for entertaining, our goal is simple: deliver a finished project that looks exceptional, performs for decades, and gives you confidence from the first conversation to the final walkthrough.

A Dedicated Team

Many contractors operate with one or two people carrying the entire workload: sales, estimating, design, scheduling, ordering, project management, communication, and construction. That can make it difficult for homeowners to get timely answers, detailed proposals, clear expectations, and consistent follow-through. Deck Masters is built differently.  We operate as a dedicated team, allowing us to provide a higher level of service, better organization, and a more professional experience throughout the entire project. From your initial consultation to your detailed bid proposal, design planning, material selections, scheduling, construction, and final completion, you will have knowledgeable people helping guide the process. That team approach allows us to stay responsive, communicate clearly, and keep your project moving with the attention it deserves.

Masterful Craftsmanship

At Deck Masters, craftsmanship is not just about how a project looks when it is finished. It is about how it performs years down the road. Our attention to detail is what separates our work from ordinary deck construction. We focus on proper framing, clean lines, strong connections, thoughtful layouts, precise finish work, and long-term durability. Every cut, fastener, board layout, railing detail, and transition matters. We take pride in building outdoor living spaces with precision, and we stand behind our work with a lifetime warranty. When you choose Deck Masters, you are choosing a company that is committed to building it right.

Comprehensive Proposals

Home improvement projects can feel overwhelming. There are materials to compare, structural details to understand, design options to consider, permit requirements to navigate, and budget questions to work through. That is why we take the time to provide a comprehensive, transparent bid proposal for your project. Our proposals are designed to help you understand exactly what is included, how your project is being built, and what options are available to you. We also provide computer-drafted design plans free of charge as part of our proposal process. These plans help bring your vision to life before construction begins, giving you a clearer understanding of the layout, structure, and overall direction of your project. Our goal is to remove confusion, answer your questions clearly, and help you make confident decisions.

Clear Communication

One of the biggest frustrations homeowners have with contractors is poor communication. We understand how important it is to know what is happening, what comes next, and who to contact when questions come up. Deck Masters places a high priority on responsiveness and clear communication throughout the entire process. We explain project details in terms that are easy to understand, provide guidance on materials and design choices, and work to make sure your vision is fully understood before construction begins. You should never feel like you are being left in the dark. Our team is here to guide you through the process, answer your questions, and make your project feel manageable from start to finish.

It is an investment in your home, your comfort, your property value, and the way you enjoy your outdoor space. At Deck Masters, we combine experience, craftsmanship, communication, and thoughtful design to create outdoor living spaces that are built with precision and built to last. Let us help bring your outdoor living dreams to life with a fair, transparent proposal and a team you can trust.

Customer Service is Our Priority.

Owner Chris Marquand started Deck Masters in 2008 on a simple mission: put the customer first while delivering high-quality construction with honesty, clarity, and exceptional craftsmanship. We know that a new outdoor living space is a major investment, and our goal is to ensure you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. Your project isn’t just a job to us—we want to build a relationship so strong that you’ll confidently refer us to your friends and family for years to come.
