Proper sonotube footings. #1 grade cedar or TimberTech composite. DekSmart railings. Hidden fasteners. Family-owned and serving the Saanich Peninsula since 1988 — and it shows.
"Have used them for a few projects at the house. High quality work every time."
— Mark Zerr, Verified Google ReviewMost homeowners don't see what's underneath their deck — but it's the difference between a deck that lasts a generation and one that needs replacing in under a decade. Here's what we do that others skip.
We pour 2'x2'x6" concrete footings with 8" or 10" sonotube columns. "Do-it-yourself" deck blocks are only used when specifically requested — they shift, they sink, and they fail code in most municipal inspections.
Every deck we build is framed with pressure-treated hemlock. Rot-resistant, structurally sound, and built to handle Vancouver Island's wet winters without compromise.
We don't use pine or fir — they rot fast and look tired within a few seasons. You choose between #1 grade cedar (2x4 or 2x6), pressure-treated round-edge boards, or premium composite like TREX.
We install DekSmart aluminum railings, roof-grade vinyl decking for waterproof surfaces, hidden fasteners, integrated step lighting, and proper flashing. Bring us a sketch, a Pinterest board, or just an idea — we'll build it.
Natural beauty, weather-resistant, ages gracefully to a silver-grey patina. Available in 2x4 or 2x6. The classic West Coast choice.
Round-edge pressure-treated boards. Maximum durability, lower cost, and a long service life when properly maintained.
Won't splinter, fade, or rot. No annual staining. TimberTech's premium composite is the best choice for low-maintenance living.
Fully waterproof membrane decking — ideal when there's living space, storage, or another deck below. Seamless and built for Vancouver Island weather.
From simple back patios to multi-level cedar decks with integrated lighting and custom railings — every project gets the same attention to detail.

Cost depends on size, material, height off the ground, and finishing details (lighting, railings, etc.). A simple ground-level pressure-treated deck typically starts in the low-to-mid five figures, while a multi-level cedar or composite deck with custom features can run higher. We provide a detailed written estimate at no charge so there are no surprises.
In most cases, yes — especially if the deck is above a certain height or attached to your house. We handle permitting with your municipality (Sidney, Saanich, Victoria, etc.) as part of the build process where required.
Most residential decks take 1–3 weeks from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Custom features like integrated lighting, glass railings, or multi-level structures may take longer. We'll give you a clear timeline with your written estimate.
It depends on your priorities. Cedar looks beautiful and is naturally weather-resistant but requires periodic maintenance. Pressure-treated is the best value for durability. TimberTech composite is virtually maintenance-free and lasts decades. For decks over living space or storage, we install roof-grade vinyl for a fully waterproof surface. We'll walk you through the trade-offs honestly.
