Built on a frame that outlives the boards

The part of a deck you look at is the boards. The part that decides how long it lasts is everything underneath: footing depth, joist spacing, ledger flashing and hardware. We do not cut corners there, because that is where decks fail.

On top, you choose. Pressure-treated pine is the budget option, cedar is the good-looking one, and composite is the one you never sand or stain again.

Composite Decking

Trex-style capped composite in a range of colours, with hidden fasteners and no annual staining.

Cedar & Pressure-Treated

Natural wood decks, properly fastened, stained and sealed on completion.

Multi-Level Designs

Stepped and split-level decks that solve grade changes and separate zones.

Elevated Decks

Second-storey decks with engineered framing, code stair rise and proper guardrails.

Railing Options

Wood, composite, aluminium and cable rail systems to suit the view and the budget.

Under-Deck Use

Skirting, storage and dry-below systems that make the space underneath usable.

Frequently asked questions

Wood or composite — which should I choose?

Composite costs more upfront and almost nothing thereafter; wood costs less upfront and needs cleaning and re-staining every two to three years in this climate. Our deck materials comparison lays out the numbers.

How long does a deck take to build?

Most single-level decks take about one to two weeks on site once permits and materials are in place. Multi-level and elevated builds take longer.

Do I need a permit for a deck?

Raised decks almost always require a permit and inspection in York County. We handle the application and meet the inspector.

How long will my deck last?

A properly built pressure-treated deck should give 15 to 20 years with maintenance; capped composite boards typically carry 25-year-plus warranties. The frame matters as much as the boards.
