Hours
Every day, 8:30 AM to 10:30 PM
Service area
Ottawa and 15 surrounding communities, from Kanata and Stittsville in the west to Orleans and Cumberland in the east.
The Area We Cover
We build and repair decks across the City of Ottawa, from the dense inner-city lots in Vanier out to the rural properties around Carp, Greely and Metcalfe. If your address sits outside the communities listed on this site, send it over and we will tell you straight away whether we can take it on.
What to have ready
None of this is required, but each one shortens the path to an accurate number.
Rough dimensions
Length and width in feet, even approximate. Deck pricing scales with square footage more than anything else, so this sets the range immediately.
A few photos
For an existing deck: one wide shot, one of where the deck meets the house, and one underneath showing the posts and footings if you can get it.
Height off the ground
Roughly how far the deck surface sits above the yard. Past 600 mm a permit is in scope, and past 1.8 m the guard height and framing both change.
Our Process
What happens next
1
You send the details
By phone, email or the form above. Whatever you have is enough to start.
2
We reply within a business day
Usually with a first range and a couple of questions that will sharpen it.
3
We book the site visit
At a time that suits you. We look at grade, access, drainage and the existing structure.
4
You get the written quote
Scope, material, price and any permit work, with nothing left to be decided later.
Before you call
Is the quote actually free?
Yes, including the site visit and the written assessment that comes with it. There is no charge and no obligation, and we do not hold the written assessment back if you decide to go with someone else.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
We can give you a range, and it is worth asking for. What we will not do is commit to a firm number sight unseen, because the things that move a deck price most, such as footing depth, access and whether the wall can take a ledger, are exactly the things you cannot see over the phone.
How far ahead do I need to book?
Further than most people expect, especially for spring. Footing excavation and concrete pause through the deep-freeze months, so the spring build calendar largely fills over the preceding autumn and winter. If you want the deck usable by early summer, start the conversation well before the thaw.
My deck feels unsafe right now. What should I do?
Stop using it and call rather than emailing, so we can triage it the same day. Loose guards, a stair run that moves underfoot, and any visible separation where the deck meets the house are all reasons to keep people off the structure until someone has looked at it.
