Ridgeline Decks Co.

The state's workers'-comp classes for Ridgeline match what it advertises: deck construction and repair, plus outdoor structures. The company lists Deckorators and Fiberon among the composite lines it installs and claims a 25-year warranty. The state lists Ryan Lieuallen, Timothy Flood and Casey Flood as principals since 2016, the year the business was established, and the company describes itself as family-owned and locally owned. Permits pulled under its licence through Spokane County show steady residential work across the north side and the Valley. The crew is small. The state puts it at one to three people, with the owner working on site, which suits a homeowner who wants the people who quote the deck to be the ones building it. The range of railing and cover options makes it a fit for a full overhaul, where an old deck comes down and a new one goes up with a roof or pergola in the same job, as much as for a straightforward resurfacing. Around Spokane, most new decks need a building permit, especially ones attached to the house, raised off the ground or carrying a roof cover, since a cover adds snow load the framing and footings have to carry. Replacing a deck down to the structure usually counts as new work too. Spokane County, the city of Spokane and Spokane Valley each run their own permit counters, so the contractor should know which one applies to your address and pull the permit in the company's name. That puts the footing and framing inspections on the builder, and it leaves you with a finished deck the county has signed off when it's time to sell.
