Cascade Fence & Deck was founded in 1997 by the Kaski family. Known originally as Cascade Vinyl Systems, the Kaskis provided vinyl materials and installation to the Portland area.
In 2002 Brian Kaski bought out his partners and became the sole owner of the company. In order to meet changing customer needs, Cascade began offering wood fence and deck options.
After many years of serving the commercial and new construction markets, Cascade’s leadership team made the bold decision to focus the service experience entirely on homeowners. Big changes in the planning and installation process were required.
By providing plenty of information up front and creating a standard for installation, the company has been able to offer a premium service for a competitive price.
In 2023 Cascade Fence & Deck was bought by long time employee and active general manager Leif Wirtanen.
Today, under Leif’s leadership, Cascade Fence & Deck is focused on sustaining a culture that attracts high quality employees and value driven customers. All in the hopes of providing the best contractor experience building fences, decks, patio covers, and saunas.
A smooth build doesn’t start on install day — it starts weeks earlier, with design reviews, permit timelines, material staging, crew matching, and site prep all coordinated before a single post goes in the ground. If you want to understand what that process actually looks like for your project, or you’re ready to get the planning started, reach out and we’ll walk through the timeline with you.
This video walks you through Cascade Fence and Deck’s simple 4-step process — from the first no-pressure conversation to a final build backed by a lifetime workmanship guarantee — so you know exactly what to expect every step of the way. If you’re planning a deck, fence, patio cover, or outdoor living project and want to work with a team that values clear communication and long-term quality, reach out anytime.
A great deck isn’t just about materials and colors — how it flows, how it’s zoned, and how it connects to your yard determines whether the space actually gets used. If layout or function has been part of your planning headaches, that’s a design conversation, and we’re happy to talk through how you actually want to use your space.
