What We Build

Fence & Deck Services

Composite or wood, deck or fence — here's how the options compare, and what to expect from each.

Low-Maintenance

Composite Decking

Built from engineered wood-fibre and recycled plastic boards, composite decking doesn’t need annual staining or sealing and resists fading, splintering and rot. It costs more upfront than wood, but most composite systems carry 25–30 year manufacturer warranties, so the higher price spreads out over a much longer, lower-maintenance life.

  • No staining, sealing or sanding required
  • Resists moisture, insects and UV fading
  • Typically 25–30 year manufacturer warranty
  • Higher upfront cost, lower lifetime cost

Classic & Affordable

Wood Decking

Pressure-treated and cedar decks are the most affordable way to get a solid, good-looking deck, with a warm natural finish composite can’t fully match. The trade-off is upkeep — expect to stain or seal every 2–3 years to keep it protected from Ontario’s freeze-thaw winters.

  • Lowest upfront material cost
  • Warm, natural wood-grain look
  • Needs staining/sealing every 2–3 years
  • Cedar or pressure-treated lumber options

Built to Last

Composite Fencing

Composite fence panels hold their colour and shape through Ontario winters without warping, cupping or rotting the way wood eventually does. Aluminum posts keep the structure straight for years, making this the lowest-maintenance privacy fence option available.

  • Won’t warp, crack or rot
  • Consistent colour, no repainting
  • Aluminum post system for long-term straightness
  • Higher upfront cost than wood fencing

Timeless & Practical

Wood Fencing

Wood privacy and board-on-board fencing remains the most common choice for GTA backyards — affordable, straightforward to repair in sections, and easy to match to an existing fence line. With periodic staining, a well-built wood fence holds up for many years.

  • Most affordable fencing option
  • Easy to repair a single section if damaged
  • Board-on-board, privacy and picket styles
  • Periodic staining recommended for longevity

Common Questions

Fence & Deck FAQ

How much does a new deck cost in the GTA?

Cost depends on size, height, material and site access. Pressure-treated wood is the most affordable starting point, cedar sits in the middle, and composite costs more upfront but needs far less maintenance over its life. We give free, itemised estimates after seeing the space — call or text us for a quote on your specific project.

Do I need a permit for a deck or fence in Ontario?

Generally, decks more than 60 cm (24 in) above grade or attached to the house require a building permit, and most municipalities have height limits for fences — commonly around 2 m for rear yards and lower for front yards. Rules vary by city, so we confirm requirements with your municipality before we start and handle the permit process where needed.

Composite or wood — which should I choose?

Composite costs more upfront but does not need annual staining or sealing, resists rot and splintering, and holds its colour. Wood is cheaper initially and has a warmer natural look, but needs regular maintenance to stay in good shape. If you plan to stay in the home long term, composite usually works out better; if budget is the priority, pressure-treated wood is a solid choice.

Can you repair my existing deck or fence instead of replacing it?

Often, yes. Rotted boards, loose railings, sagging gates and shifted posts can usually be repaired for far less than a rebuild. We will assess the framing and footings first — if the underlying structure is sound, repair is the better value, and we will tell you straight if it is not.

What is the best time of year to build a deck or fence in Ontario?

Spring through fall is the main season, and it books up quickly. Late fall and winter builds are possible depending on ground conditions and frost depth, and booking in the off-season often means shorter wait times. If you are planning for spring, reaching out over the winter is the best way to secure a slot.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. We are a licensed contractor, fully insured, and covered under WSIB. We are happy to provide proof of coverage before any work begins.

How long does a typical project take?

Most standard residential fences take one to three days. Decks typically run three days to two weeks depending on size, height, railing type and whether footings need to cure. We give you a realistic schedule with the estimate rather than an optimistic one.
