Decks Built on Solid Footings
A good deck extends your living space for half the year and should last for decades. The parts that make that happen are the ones you do not see: footings below the frost line, a properly attached ledger or freestanding frame, correctly sized joists and beams, and hardware rated for outdoor use.
We build new decks and replace old ones in pressure-treated wood, cedar and composite, with railings in wood, aluminum or glass, built-in stairs and landings, privacy screens and skirting. Many clients pair a new deck with a basement walkout or a new patio door.
In Ontario, decks generally need a building permit when they are attached to the house or are more than 600 mm (about 24 inches) above the ground, and railings and stairs have to meet the Building Code. We confirm the requirements with your municipality and handle the permit.

Questions
Decks & Outdoor Living: FAQs
Do I need a permit for a deck?+
In Ontario, decks generally need a building permit when they are attached to the house or more than about 600 mm (24 inches) above the ground. Local rules and setbacks also apply. We check with your municipality and handle the permit.
Composite or wood: which is better?+
Composite costs more up front but needs no staining and resists rot and splinters. Pressure-treated wood and cedar cost less and look natural but need regular maintenance. We explain the trade-offs for your deck.
Can you replace just the deck boards?+
Sometimes. If the frame and footings are sound, new decking and railings can go on the existing structure. We inspect the frame first, because rot in the joists or ledger means it needs to be rebuilt.
Often paired with home additions, whole-home renovations and basement finishing.
