Your deck shouldn’t be the scariest part
of your house.

Leave the scares to Halloween. Let’s talk about your deck.

The scares are fiction. These decks are real.

Decks with room to enjoy.

Start where you are

What are you planning?

What the free site visit covers

Let’s look at your yard.

We’ll look at the space, take measurements and talk through materials, stairs, railing and access. If there’s an old deck, we’ll look at that too. Then we can put together a quote for the work you’ve discussed.

  1. 01

    How the deck meets the house

    Door height, siding, the ledger area, windows, utilities, and where water needs to go.

  2. 02

    What holds it up

    Height, soil, slope, access, and frost shape the foundation approach for this site—not a default.

  3. 03

    How you move through it

    Stair direction, landings, gates, and railings are decided with the layout, not after it.

Footings, framing & connections

The work under the boards.

The boards are only part of the job. Footings, framing, the connection to the house, stairs and railing all need to be planned together. Here’s a look at that work before the decking goes on.

01

Footings & site

The foundation approach follows height, loads, soil, access and frost for your lot.

02

Ledger & water

How the deck meets the house, flashing, and drainage matter long after the boards look finished.

03

Framing & fasteners

Joist spacing, beams, blocking, connectors, and corrosion-resistant hardware are the bones of the deck.

04

Stairs & railings

Rise, run, guards, posts, and connections are safety details to plan—not improvise at the end.

What we build

Decks, rebuilds and outdoor work.

Room for the barbecue, better stairs, somewhere to sit—tell us what you need the deck to do.

Before we build

Before you book a visit.

A few questions we hear from homeowners.

Still unsure? Email us ↗
01How much does a deck cost in Calgary?+

Size, materials, railings, stairs, access, demolition, and site conditions all affect price. We start with a site visit, then provide a written scope and quote so you can see exactly what is included. Our cost and planning page explains what moves the number.

02Why email instead of a phone call?+

Because the useful details—photos, sizes, what is wrong with the old deck—are easier to keep in one written thread than to repeat on a call. You get answers in writing, and the site visit is the conversation that matters.

03Do I need a permit?+

Some Calgary deck projects do. The City currently requires a building permit for covered decks and for uncovered decks higher than 0.6 m (2 ft) above grade at any point. The exact address and design still need to be checked before construction. Our permits page has the current guide.

04Which decking material is best?+

Composite is popular for lower routine maintenance. Cedar offers natural warmth. Pressure-treated wood can be a practical value choice. Vinyl suits elevated decks where dry space below matters. The three-question material finder on our decks page gives you a starting point.

05How long does a deck take to build?+

The build itself can range from several days to a few weeks depending on size and complexity. Your proposed schedule is part of the written scope, so it is discussed before work starts.

06Do you build outside Calgary?+

Yes. We serve Calgary and nearby communities including Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere, Okotoks, Springbank, and Bearspaw.
