An Outdoor Living Space Integrated within the Forest
Mike and Karen asked us to replace their old, rotting back deck. They wanted to build an exceptional outdoor living space that extended their main floor into the expansive forest of Vineyard Mountain that surrounds their home. Our homeowners chose Nexan’s NextDeck powder coated aluminum decking in Light Gray and Nexan's Stainless Steel Cable Railing System. This new deck and cable rail system allow Mike, Karen, and any visitors to enjoy the beautiful views of Vineyard Mountain without obstructing their sightlines.
“Mike and Karen were so pleased with our work and our crew, they invited everyone who worked on the project over for a "deck-warming" party!”
Carl Christianson, Superintendent and Owner
PROJECT DETAILS
Aluminum Decking
NextDeck aluminum decking is a fireproof, pest-resistant product that will not rust, rot, sag, splinter, warp or crack at freezing temperatures. The powder-coated finish creates an extremely strong and UV stable surface finish that will not fade like traditional composite deck products. With a slip-resistant finish, this is a fantastic product for the Pacific Northwest weather!
Nexan Cable Railing
Because the fittings and cables are made out of marine grade 316L stainless steel, they are practically maintenance-free and are sturdy enough to last a lifetime. Compared to other railing types such as cedar that require regular and extensive maintenance, cable railing is low-maintenance. We worked with Nexan to incorporate LED rope lights under the handrails to provide ambient lighting.

What our Clients are Saying
See the Riverside Farmhouse Remodel project“Throughout the project, Sarah did an incredible job of listening to our vision and guided our decisions with her extensive design experience. G. Christianson consistently provided excellent materials, work, communication, and, moreover, they became our friends throughout the process. They used only superior quality products throughout our home, made sure all systems and structures throughout were constructed to meet or exceed code standards, and took the initiative to provide superior construction techniques even where it wouldn't show. The custom cabinetry and carpentry throughout is top quality and beautiful. The result is exactly the dream home we've always wanted! Sarah, Tanner, and the GCC team created a gorgeous, comfortable space where our family can grow for decades. It was an incredible two-year experience with the GCC family.”
“We are repeat customers who demand high quality, high touch and tight timeframes of the large scale remodel projects for our Corvallis sorority. GCCI was also our go-to for the unexpected ... we received exceptional service to get the house livable in just over 2 week's time.”
Jen Humcke, Alpha Phi, Corvallis
See the Sorority Basement Remodel project“G. Christianson construction made us feel heard and cared for throughout our remodeling process. We had an ADU built in our unfinished basement and there were lots of uneven walls and floors and ducting that had to be worked around plus lots of replumbing both inside and out. They did such a nice job with attention to detail at the top of the list. Their subcontractors were top-notch and on schedule. We never felt stressed out. ”
