West Metro Deck Builder in Beaverton, OR
Beaverton is Oregon’s sixth-largest city (~98,000 residents) and one of Portland Metro’s biggest suburban markets. Nike’s world headquarters sits here, along with major employers like Tektronix, Lam Research, and many software/engineering firms. The homeowner demographic skews professional, dual-income, with deck budgets that reflect their careers and priorities.
LGC Remodeling has built in Beaverton for over a decade. Our typical Beaverton client: 2000s-2015 home on a 6,000-10,000 sqft lot, original pressure-treated deck from when they bought the home, looking for a practical upgrade to composite with maybe a pergola roof for rainy PNW winters.
Beaverton runs its own city building department. Unincorporated pockets of Washington County fall under the county Building Services office.
About the Master
My name is Larry Zagoriy, and for over 15 years I’ve been building decks, patios, and outdoor living spaces across Clark County and the Portland metro.
Beaverton’s Nike-anchored west side has its own rhythm — weekend-warrior homeowners, HOA design reviews, Tualatin Mountain views. I’ve built across Cedar Hills, Progress Ridge, Murrayhill.
I’m a licensed contractor — CSLB #1106627, bonded and insured. Every project I take on, I personally manage from the first site visit through the final inspection. That means one accountable point of contact, no handoffs, no communication gaps. When you hire LGC, you’re hiring me.
Beaverton Neighborhoods We Serve
Cedar Hills (central-east Beaverton near Cedar Hills Shopping Center) — established 1960s-90s neighborhood, mature tree canopy, mid-sized lots. Common project: replacement of 1990s pressure-treated decks with composite. Cedar Hills homes tend to have significant tree coverage, so composite wins for low maintenance.
Raleigh Hills (east Beaverton, bordering SW Portland) — older established neighborhood, upscale homes 1960s-2000s, some with Cascades views. Higher budgets than average Beaverton. Multi-level and view-oriented decks common.
Murray Hill / Murrayhill (south Beaverton, newer 1990s-2010s development) — many homes in planned communities with HOA design review. Common project: 400-600 sqft composite with aluminum railings. HOAs generally prefer uniform aesthetics.
Progress Ridge / Cooper Mountain (SW Beaverton, newer 2005-2020 development) — larger custom homes, often with Tualatin Mountain or Cascade views. Higher budgets, more complex designs.
Aloha (unincorporated, NW of Beaverton) — mix of older and newer housing. Unincorporated means Washington County permits instead of city permits.
Five Oaks / Elmonica (north Beaverton) — 1970s-90s family neighborhoods, mid-sized lots, practical budgets.
Bethany (NW edge, newer 2000s-2015 subdivisions) — Bethany HOA communities are common. Tech professional demographic, composite-and-pergola packages popular.
Downtown Beaverton (around Old Town core) — older 1900-1950s housing. Some historic character but minimal overlay restrictions.

Beaverton Build Considerations
HOA design review is common in newer neighborhoods. Murrayhill, Progress Ridge, Bethany, and many 2000s+ subdivisions require HOA submittal. We handle drawings, material samples, color palettes. Add 2-4 weeks to project timeline.
Tech professional time constraints. Many clients work demanding schedules. They value: straightforward communication, clear timelines, minimal disruption, written follow-ups. We’ve adapted our project communication to match (written updates, appointment windows that respect their workday).
Mature tree canopy in Cedar Hills and Raleigh Hills. Established neighborhoods have significant tree coverage. Composite handles leaf debris better than cedar. Tree protection during construction may be required.
Tualatin Mountain views. West and SW Beaverton neighborhoods (Progress Ridge, Cooper Mountain) often have Tualatin Mountain views and sometimes Cascade views from higher elevations. View-oriented deck design makes a real difference in daily use.
Rain management matters more here than Vancouver. Beaverton gets similar total rainfall to Portland (~40 inches), and west-side locations can see more. Covered pergolas make a meaningful difference in shoulder-season deck use. We push covered options more in Beaverton than in slightly-drier Vancouver.
Newer builds, newer deck issues. Many Beaverton homes in Murrayhill, Progress Ridge, Bethany are 2005-2015 builds. Tract-builder decks from that era are now reaching end-of-useful-life. Common issues: cupped composite boards (early composite had less UV stability), failing hidden fastener clips (older generation brands), railing post wobble. These are solvable with proper replacement.
