What types of decks do you build?

We build all types of decks—from simple ground-level platforms to elevated multi-level structures with stairs and railings. We offer both attached and freestanding designs, and we can incorporate features like built-in benches, privacy walls, planters, and lighting. We work with pressure-treated lumber, cedar, and composite materials to suit different styles and budgets. During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the right size, layout, and finish to match your home and how you plan to use the space. Whether you want something sleek and modern or rustic and cozy, we can build it.

Do you also repair or replace old decks?

Yes—we offer both repair and replacement services. If your deck has minor damage or wear, we can often replace boards, fix framing, and restore its look and safety. If the structure is beyond repair, we’ll recommend a full rebuild with upgraded materials and a fresh layout if needed. We always inspect thoroughly and provide honest recommendations, so you can decide what makes the most sense for your home and budget. Safety, appearance, and longevity are our top priorities with every repair or replacement project.

What materials do you recommend for decking?

It depends on your priorities. Pressure-treated wood is affordable and widely used for structural framing and basic decks. Cedar is naturally resistant to rot and has a warm, classic look but requires regular sealing. Composite decking costs more up front but offers low-maintenance performance and a long lifespan. We’ll help you weigh aesthetics, maintenance needs, durability, and budget during your consultation. No matter what you choose, we install it with care and craftsmanship for lasting performance and great curb appeal.

Do I need a permit to build a deck?

In most cases, yes—especially for decks that are attached to the home, elevated above ground level, or over a certain square footage. We’ll confirm whether your project requires a permit based on local zoning regulations and take care of all applications and approvals on your behalf. We build to Ontario Building Code standards and make sure everything is safe, compliant, and properly inspected. You don’t need to navigate the paperwork—we’ve got it covered.

Can you help design my outdoor space?

Absolutely. We’ll walk you through design options based on your goals, layout, and budget. We help you visualize the best layout for flow, shade, privacy, and function. We also suggest complementary features like fences, pergolas, gates, or integrated planters. Whether you’re starting with a rough idea or want us to take the lead, we’ll create a plan that works for your home and lifestyle. And we never push extras—just smart, thoughtful recommendations to help you make the most of your space.
