Deck building and deck stair rebuilds in Victoria, BC

Composite and modern materials, built to last Island winters — and the structural rebuild underneath that most deck work actually needs.

Composite and cedar deck stair rebuild

Two of the nine projects on this site are deck work, and both were stairs. One was a structural rebuild in cedar with the decking upgraded to composite for low maintenance — two flights and a landing, built solid underneath and clean on top. The other was a simple two-flight exterior stair with a landing, rebuilt in composite with closed risers.

Railings on both were built code-compliant. Composite is the default where low maintenance matters; cedar does the framing.

The commercial side

How it’s priced.

Two ways, chosen together at the quote stage: transparent cost-plus, where you see every invoice, or a fixed price when you would rather have certainty. The quote is in writing with no mystery lines. Figures come after a walkthrough of your home — there is no price list.

DepositsLarger projects typically start with a deposit; smaller quick jobs usually do not need one. The exact terms are set out in the written quote and contract.
Changes mid-jobOn cost-plus work, changes are talked through, the contract scope is amended to include them, and time and trade invoices are all disclosed. On fixed-price work, changes go through a written change order.
PermitsWhere a permit applies, the work proceeds under it with proper inspections. That protects your home’s value and your insurance.

Before you ask

Decks — questions we get.

Do you build composite decks?

Yes — composite and modern materials, built to last Island winters. On the cedar-and-composite rebuild, cedar did the framing and composite did the treads.

Can you rebuild deck stairs and railings?

Yes. Both deck projects on this site were stair rebuilds — two flights and a landing each, with code-compliant railings.

Composite or cedar — which do you use?

Both, for different jobs. Cedar frames well; composite decking and treads are chosen where low maintenance matters.

Do deck railings have to meet code?

Railings on both deck projects were built code-compliant, and where a permit applies the work proceeds under it with proper inspections.

Do I need a permit for a deck?

Where a permit applies, the work proceeds under it with proper inspections. That protects your home’s value and your insurance.

How is deck work priced?

Two ways, chosen together at the quote stage: transparent cost-plus, where you see every invoice, or a fixed price when you would rather have certainty. The quote is in writing with no mystery lines. Figures come after a walkthrough of your home — there is no price list.

Do you take on small deck repairs?

Yes. Alongside full renovations we take on smaller projects and repairs, from a half-day fix to a few weeks of work. There is a small minimum for short call-out visits, which we confirm when we book.

What areas do you build decks in?

Greater Victoria — all 13 CRD municipalities: Victoria, Saanich, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal, Colwood, Langford, Metchosin, Highlands, Central Saanich, North Saanich, Sidney and Sooke. A project just outside that may still work; the consult form flags it either way.
