2025 Modern Deck Design & Build
Turn your backyard into the ultimate family hangout. Our decks provide a safe, level, and clean surface perfect for the kids to play on and for you to relax. Plus, it’s a smart financial move—a quality deck is a lasting investment that significantly boosts your home's resale value.
Safety is our priority
We understand that your deck is more than just wood and nails—it’s where your family gathers. That is why safety is the foundation of our craftsmanship. We use premium materials and rigorous construction methods to create a worry-free environment where your children can play and your guests can relax safely for years to come.
To guarantee this safety, we don't just guess; we follow a strict structural code designed to protect your home and family:
Solid Foundations: We install concrete footings deep below the frost line (4 feet), ensuring your deck remains level and stable through our freezing winters and thawing springs.
Secure Attachment: We utilize code-compliant ledger systems and structural lag bolts to securely anchor the deck to your home, eliminating the risk of separation.
Child-Safe Railings: Our guards are built to precise height and spacing standards—specifically designed to prevent climbing and ensure that small children cannot slip through or get stuck.
Fully Certified: We handle the entire building permit process and adhere strictly to local Building Codes, meaning your project is verified, inspected, and legally compliant.
What is a high-quality deck?
A high-quality deck is an outdoor platform that is carefully designed and constructed to deliver durability, safety, and long-term value. We define a high-quality deck by the use of premium, weather-resistant materials, strong structural support, and precise craftsmanship to ensure stability and performance over time. We focus on proper installation techniques, code compliance, and corrosion-resistant hardware, while incorporating details such as secure railings, well-built stairs, and clean finishes. The result is a deck that enhances outdoor living, requires minimal maintenance, and maintains its appearance and functionality for years to come.
Standard construction process of a deck
Phase 1: Consultation
The journey to your dream deck begins with a personal consultation right in your backyard. We take the time to understand your vision, lifestyle needs, and budget before conducting a thorough site assessment. From selecting the perfect materials—whether natural wood or modern composite—to finalizing a design that complements your home's architecture, we ensure every detail is planned before construction ever begins.
Phase 2: Permits & Protection
Once the design is set, we handle all the red tape so you don't have to. Our team prepares the necessary architectural drawings and submits all building permit applications to the city on your behalf. We also coordinate with local utility companies to mark gas, hydro, and water lines, ensuring that the excavation process is safe, legal, and fully compliant with all local regulations.
Phase 3: Build the foundation
With the paperwork approved, we break ground on the most critical part of the build: the foundation. We excavate deep into the soil—reaching below the 4-foot frost line—to pour reinforced concrete footings that prevent heaving during our freezing winters. We also pay special attention to where the deck meets your home, installing waterproof membranes to protect your house structure from moisture damage and rot.
Phase 4: Framing & Structure
Once the concrete cures, the structural framing begins. We construct the "skeleton" of your deck using premium pressure-treated lumber, laser-leveling every beam and joist to ensure a perfectly flat surface. During this stage, we also schedule and manage the required structural inspections with city officials, verifying that every connection meets or exceeds the Ontario Building Code (OBC).
Phase 5: The Finishing Touches
In the final phase, your vision comes to life as we install the decking and railings. We utilize hidden fastener systems for composite builds to eliminate visible screws, giving you a smooth, barefoot-friendly surface. After installing child-safe railings and comfortable stairs, we perform a thorough site cleanup, removing all debris and sawdust so your new outdoor living space is turnkey and ready for relaxation.
