The residents of Seattle’s Plymouth Place apartments have something to look forward to this spring—the opportunity to spend time relaxing on a brand new outdoor view deck located on the building’s roof.

Thank you to the staff at Gaspar’s Construction who spearheaded the deck project including Paul Lambert, Sarah Gaspar Henry, Isaac Gaspar, and Heather Laird (not pictured).

Last fall it became clear that Plymouth Place’s old rooftop deck was in such poor repair from water damage that residents could no longer use it. When the building staff requested some assistance, Plymouth Events & Donor Relations Manager, Mary Ann Lambert, went looking for volunteers to build a new one. “I really didn’t have to look very far,” she laughed. “My husband Paul works for Gaspar’s Construction, and they have wanted an opportunity to support Plymouth.”

A family company with a reputation for philanthropy and community service, Gaspar’s readily agreed and helped approach Dunn Lumber for a donation as well. Dunn Lumber agreed to help, donating composite decking materials that will last many years.

Heather Laird and Isaac Gaspar installed composite decking, which will last for many years beyond the previous wood deck.

A Gaspar’s team began work last January and within a few days the old deck was gone, and a new, long-lasting deck was constructed. “Residents are thrilled with their newly renovated outdoor area,” commented Building Manager John Hutto.“ Some of them are planning to do a little gardening up there this summer.”

Thank you to the entire staff of Gaspar’s Construction who donated over $30,000 in labor and to Dunn Lumber as well.
