Deck builders for Greater Victoria

A deck is a considered, high-value project and the price is set by your design and site, not a fixed menu, so we do not publish a flat number. Most decks land in the $6,000 to $15,000-plus range depending on size, height, decking material, and railing. The biggest cost drivers are square footage, whether it is raised, and whether you choose pressure-treated, cedar, or composite. We give you a firm price in writing after a site visit.

Cedar gives you a warm, natural West Coast look at a lower up-front cost, but it needs regular cleaning and re-oiling to hold its colour through our wet winters. Composite costs more to install but does not rot, splinter, or need staining, which suits the coast and a busy household. We walk you through both against your budget and how much upkeep you want to do.

Often yes. Most Greater Victoria municipalities require a building permit once a deck is above a certain height or attached to the house, though the exact trigger varies by municipality. When your project needs a permit we handle it, so the structure is legal and inspected.

Most single-family decks take about one to two weeks of on-site work once we start, depending on size, height, and railing type. Design, material ordering, and any permit add time before the build begins. You get a realistic timeline in your written scope.

A well-built and maintained cedar deck commonly lasts 15 to 25 years or more here, with the structure underneath lasting longer. Regular cleaning and re-oiling protects the surface through our wet season. Composite decking typically outlasts cedar with far less maintenance.

All three. We build decks, cedar and custom fences, and pergolas, and they share the same coastal build approach and the same crew. Many of our jobs combine a deck with a privacy fence or a pergola, which is often the best-value way to do more than one at once.

Fence height limits are set by each municipality and often differ between front and rear yards, with many allowing taller fencing in the back. Because the rules vary by municipality and by where the fence sits on your lot, we confirm the limit for your property before we build.

A pergola is an open structure of posts, beams, and rafters that gives partial shade and can carry slats or a canopy, keeping an airy, open feel over a patio or deck. A gazebo is a fully roofed, usually enclosed structure. A pergola defines the space and adds shade without closing it in.

Our long wet season keeps wood damp for months and much of the region sits on dense marine clay that heaves and holds moisture. That is hard on fasteners, framing, and footings. We detail for drainage, use coastal-grade fasteners and flashing, and set footings for our soil, which is the difference between a deck that stays solid for fifteen years and one that does not.

Yes. We build new decks and replace failing ones. If your existing deck is greyed out, soft underfoot, or pulling away from the house, we assess whether the structure can be reused or whether a full rebuild is the better value, and we tell you straight either way.
