Calgary deck builders
We design, permit and build decks for Calgary homes: composite, cedar, pressure treated and waterproof vinyl membrane, all on footings that go below the frost line. You get one price in writing before we start, and the same team from the first measure to the final inspection.
Every material has a real trade-off: upfront cost, upkeep and how long it lasts. Here's how they compare.
No staining, ever. Trex, TimberTech, Fiberon and Deckorators boards over a treated frame.
Real wood with warm colour and grain. Needs a refinish every couple of years to stay that way.
The lowest upfront cost. A solid choice when the budget is fixed or you're not staying forever.
A waterproof Duradek surface for balconies and decks with living space underneath.
The boards are the part everyone looks at. What decides whether a deck is still flat and solid in fifteen years is underneath: the footings, the ledger connection to the house, and how the frame handles Calgary's freeze-thaw swings.
Calgary is hard on outdoor structures. The ground freezes deep, chinooks thaw it mid-winter, and then it freezes again. A deck that isn't built for that moves. These are the steps we don't skip.
A deck gets used a lot more when there's somewhere to get out of the sun. We build pergolas and cabanas on new decks, on existing ones, and free-standing in the yard.
Most people start with two questions: what will this cost, and do I need a permit. We've written both up properly, with real numbers.
Installed prices per square foot, worked out for common sizes like 12 × 12 and 14 × 20.
The height and roof thresholds, the setbacks that trigger a development permit, and the fees.
The signs that mean the structure is done, and when new boards over the old frame will do.
If the deck you have is tired, the first question is whether the frame is still sound. When the posts, beams and ledger are solid, new boards and railings over the existing structure can be the right call. When they aren't, it's a full rebuild, and we'll tell you which one you're looking at.
Our guide to when to replace your deck goes through the signs.

A few recent decks, from composite and cedar to waterproof membrane balconies.
In Calgary, yes if the deck is covered, or if its surface is more than 0.6 m (2 ft) above grade at any point. A development permit can also apply depending on setbacks. We handle both. The full rules are in our Calgary deck permit guide.
Yes. We come out, measure and give you a written price for the whole job.
Yes, and it's usually easier to plan the footings for a pergola or cabana with the deck than to add them later. A roof over a deck triggers a permit on its own, so it's worth deciding early.
