Local Deck Builder in Ridgefield, WA

Ridgefield went from a quiet railroad town of 2,000 people in 2000 to over 12,000 today. New subdivisions pushed out past Pioneer Canyon, Taverner Ridge added hundreds of homes, and the Exit 14 / Pioneer Street corridor became one of the most-permitted areas in Clark County.

LGC Remodeling has been building decks here the whole way through. Our shop in Battle Ground is 12 minutes from Ridgefield city limits via NE 219th Street. Many of our Ridgefield builds are new-construction decks (builder punch-lists) or second-owner upgrades on homes 5-10 years old where the original tract-builder deck has already started cupping.

Ridgefield sits in Clark County like Battle Ground and Vancouver, so permits go through the same Permit Center at 1300 Franklin Street in downtown Vancouver. Same 2021 Washington State Building Code. Same inspectors — some weeks we see the same Clark County inspector at three job sites across Ridgefield, Battle Ground, and Hazel Dell.

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.

Ridgefield is 12 minutes from our shop. I’ve watched it grow from a quiet railroad town to one of Clark County’s fastest-growing cities, and my crew has been here the whole way.

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.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Ridgefield

Downtown / Old Ridgefield (east of I-5, near the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge) — historic core, older homes 1900-1960s, smaller lots. Common project: full deck replacement, sometimes with permit complications where the original deck predates current code entirely. Many of these homes don’t have ledger details to work from.

Pioneer Canyon (south of downtown, newer subdivision) — 2000s-2020s development, mostly 2,000-3,500 sqft homes, lots around 6,000-10,000 sqft. Common project: medium-sized cedar or composite decks, often replacing builder-grade pressure-treated originals. Lots are tight enough that most projects work well with a single-level 300-450 sqft deck.

Taverner Ridge (SE Ridgefield toward Battle Ground border) — 2010s-2020s subdivision, larger custom homes, lot sizes closer to 10,000-15,000 sqft. Builder deck quality varies — we see some excellent tract decks from 2015-2020 era and some that were clearly value-engineered. Our work here is mostly second-owner upgrades and pergola additions to existing decks.

Rural acreage west and north (along Hillhurst Road, Carty Lake, toward the refuge) — horse properties and 2-5 acre parcels. Common project: large freestanding covered patios and pool decks. These typically need well-water considerations (some properties use well-house adjacency) and septic field setbacks.

Near I-5 / Exit 14 (commercial-residential mix) — recent builds, generally 2015+ construction. Straightforward deck work, but homeowners here often want motorized louvered roofs and outdoor kitchens because they’re entertaining weekend neighbors.
