Deck Services / Pressure treated decks
The lowest-cost way to get a solid deck. Pressure treated lumber is what nearly every deck frame is built from anyway; here it's the decking too. Built on proper footings, it's a good deck, not a cheap one.
If you're staying a long time, run the numbers on composite first. Our pressure treated cost guide shows what upkeep adds over fifteen years.
A pressure treated deck here typically lasts 15 to 20 years. Keeping it in good shape means a clear sealer every year or two, or a semi-transparent stain every two to three. Skip that and the boards dry out, check and grey faster.
New treated lumber is often still wet from the treatment process, so the first finish usually waits until the wood has dried out. We'll tell you when yours is ready.
For real numbers by deck size, see what a pressure treated deck costs.
Yes. Aluminum picket and glass railings go on any deck and remove the most awkward part of refinishing. See deck railings.
No. Cedar resists rot naturally and has more colour and grain; pressure treated is chemically treated softwood and costs less. See cedar decks, or the full comparison: cedar vs pressure treated.
If it's more than 0.6 m (2 ft) off the ground at any point, or covered, yes. We apply for it. Details in the Calgary deck permit guide.
