Your yard deserves a deck, and our talented team of contractors are ready to get to work! Summer just isn’t summer unless you can enjoy it properly. Looking at your yard, what do you see right now? Is it a barren wasteland? A simple carpet of grass? Whichever it is, installing a deck will make you want to get out there and enjoy your yard, and the beautiful weather, while it lasts.
When building a custom deck, some who are DIY-inclined may be tempted to try it themselves. However, it’s important to hire a deck contractor who can install your deck properly.

Custom Decking Costs: What Do Deck Builders Include in Your Estimate?
To know precisely how much your custom decking will cost, you need a detailed estimate that includes your project’s full scope. When you ask our deck builders for an estimate, you can expect us to include a breakdown of all your project expenses, including material costs, labour costs, permitting fees, custom features, and finishing touches like staining, sealant, and weatherproofing.
Do You Need a Permit To Build a Backyard Deck?
You’ll need a permit to build a backyard deck with a design that’s more than 0.6m above grade. No permits are required to construct decking that’s to be installed lower than this threshold.
In general, you need a permit to build a deck when:
- You’re building a brand-new deck higher than 0.6m above grade
- You’re remodeling, replacing, or improving your existing decking system
- You’re replacing parts of your deck structure, such as footings, posts, beams, joists, stairs, hardware, etc.
- You’re building new stairs onto an existing decking system
Keep in mind that this permit and these rules apply to uncovered decks only. If you plan to build a covered deck, it’s considered an addition when the roof is attached to your house, and a permit that applies to home additions becomes necessary. If your covered deck’s roofing system doesn’t attach to your home, this structure is classified as an accessory residential building, and—depending on your construction plans—you may need a separate permit.
Discuss your construction goals with our decking specialists. When you hire our team, you can rest assured that our contractors will take care of your permit applications.
