Structure
Footings to frost depth, ledger flashing done before the first board goes on, and joist spans sized to the decking product rather than to habit.
Overview
A deck is structure before it's a surface. Footings below frost line, a ledger flashed and fastened to the house correctly, joists sized and spaced for the span — get those wrong and no decking board saves it.
We build decks, fences, gazebos and exterior stairs in pressure-treated, cedar and composite, to the Ontario Building Code and whatever your municipality requires on top of it.

Materials
Composite where low maintenance matters, cedar where it should look and smell like cedar, pressure-treated where budget leads. Hidden fasteners on request.
Fencing
Posts set in concrete below frost line, rails sized to the span, and lines set straight even where the grade isn't.
Permits
Decks above a set height and most structures attached to the house need a permit. We handle the drawings and the process.

Questions
Straight answers.
Composite or wood?
Composite costs more up front and almost nothing after — no staining, no splinters. Cedar looks better and costs less to install but wants attention every couple of years. Pressure-treated is the budget option and needs the most upkeep.
Do I need a permit for a deck?
In most Ontario municipalities, yes, once the deck is above a certain height off grade or attached to the house. We confirm the rules for your address and handle the application.
Can you replace just the boards on my deck?
If the frame and footings are sound, absolutely — re-decking over solid structure is a fraction of the cost of a rebuild. We'll inspect and tell you honestly which one you're looking at.
How long does a fence take?
A standard residential run is usually one to three days once posts are set. Post concrete needs time to cure before rails and boards go on.
