What we build

Decks, and only decks.

We focus on one thing so we do it well: new deck builds, full replacements, repairs, and the stairs and railings that go with them.

New deck builds

Custom composite or pressure-treated wood decks designed to fit your yard, home, and how you actually use the space.

Deck replacements

Tear-out and rebuild of aging or unsafe decks. Upgrade to modern composite decking, new railings, and code-compliant framing.

Repairs & resurfacing

Board replacement, railing repair, joist and ledger fixes, and re-decking existing frames when the structure is still sound.

Steps, railings & porches

Exterior stairs, landings, and porch work tied into your deck, with matching materials and finish details throughout.

  • Materials
    Both work here, they just age differently. Modern capped composite (Trex, TimberTech) shrugs off freeze-thaw cycles, road salt tracked in from boots, and heavy snow loads with almost no upkeep, but the trade-off is upfront cost. Pressure-treated wood costs less and can last 15 to 25 years locally, but it wants a cleaning and re-stain every 2 to 3 years to fight the wet spring / dry summer / snow-covered winter swing we get off Lake Ontario.
