Ottawa summers are short but beautiful. A well-built deck gives you more space to enjoy every warm day. We build decks with proper footings set below the frost line so they stay level and solid for decades.

Pressure-treated wood, composite (Trex, TimberTech), PVC, and cedar. We help you choose based on your budget, lifestyle, and how much maintenance you want to do.

Which Material Is Right for You?
Wood decks are a cost-effective option but need annual staining and sealing to hold up through Ottawa winters. Composite decks handle our freeze-thaw cycles with almost zero maintenance: no staining, no sealing, no splinters.
