Decks & Outdoor Structures
How can we transform our backyard into an enjoyable living space within the area we have?
Every lot is unique, and sometimes it can be difficult to reimagine an uninspired yard. We see every limitation as a creative opportunity to maximize every square foot to leave you with a space you're proud to look after.
I am having a hard time visualizing a new design, do you create sketches or drawings of the final design?
We can help you see the finished product before we even unload the truck. With our design software, we can create a digital model of your project, so you can be confident in every decision we have to make along the way.
What type of decking material should I choose?
The choice of decking material depends on factors such as budget, aesthetics, and maintenance needs. Common materials include pressure-treated wood, cedar, composite, and vinyl. Each offers unique benefits: wood is affordable and classic, cedar is naturally rot-resistant, and composite requires minimal upkeep.
How much does it cost to build a deck?
The cost of building a deck varies depending on the size, materials, and design complexity. In Canada, a basic deck can range from $3,000 to $15,000 or more.
Do I need a permit to build a deck?
In most Canadian cities, a permit is required for decks above a certain height or size. Always check local building codes to ensure compliance.
How long will my deck last?
The lifespan of a deck depends on the material used and maintenance practices. Wood decks last around 10-15 years, while composite and vinyl decks can last 25-30 years or more with proper care.
What maintenance does a deck require?
Regular maintenance, such as cleaning, staining or painting (for wood decks), and checking for loose boards or fasteners, is essential for prolonging the life of your deck.
