We plan the deck around access, usable space, material choice and the relationship to the yard.
The property assessment brings the areas, materials and access together into a clear proposal.
A layout considered around doors, usable space and the connection to the yard.
Treated wood and composite choices reviewed for appearance and upkeep.
Framing, stairs, edges and finish details defined for the project.
Think about furniture, movement and the way the deck connects to the house and lawn. Approximate dimensions and reference images help begin the conversation, while a property assessment establishes the practical layout.
Explain what you want to change and what may be worth keeping. Existing framing, supports, stairs and access need review before a replacement scope is prepared. A new surface and a complete rebuild are different projects.
We discuss both material approaches. Compare appearance, expected upkeep and the complete construction cost, including framing, stairs, guards and finishing. A new composite surface still needs a structure suitable for the selected product; replacing boards is a different scope from rebuilding a deck.
Composite and PVC are different product categories. We confirm the selected collection before planning supports, fastening, spacing and edge details to its instructions. Local availability, samples and the manufacturer’s current care and warranty information form part of the selection conversation.

Explore Suppliers & MaterialsA deck should make the transition from the house to the yard easier, not create a platform that is awkward to furnish or reach. We consider door height, steps, sun, privacy, drainage under the structure and how people move to the lawn. Material and railing choices affect both appearance and maintenance. A ground-level platform has different structural and access questions from an elevated deck, so the quote should reflect the actual layout rather than a generic price per square foot.
The City of St. Albert regulates residential decks and explains when permits are needed; its guidance also calls for positive drainage away from the foundation beneath a deck. Permit requirements depend on the proposed height and details, so they should be checked for the specific property before work starts. We clarify the approval path, site plan, footings, framing, stairs and guard details as applicable. Existing utilities, gas lines or basement windows can also affect the design.
A deck needs sound structure and careful finishing at edges, stairs and where it meets the house. Treated wood and composite boards have different costs, appearance and ongoing care, while the framing beneath either surface must suit the design. We discuss where water and snow go, how the space beneath is maintained, and whether lighting or a fence connection is planned. The proposal should identify demolition, disposal, materials, permit responsibility and final cleanup if those items are part of the job.
Deck pricing depends on layout, height, materials, stairs, guards, supports and demolition or disposal. A useful comparison includes the structure and the finish together. We identify design and approval responsibilities in the proposal and review the property before treating a square-foot price as a reliable project total.
Pricing is quoted for the property. Size, site conditions, access, materials and the agreed work affect the total. Scope or material changes may change the price; the quote confirms inclusions, disposal and applicable GST before work begins.

Explore Financing OptionsReview supports, framing, stairs and layout before choosing between new boards and a complete rebuild. A new surface cannot make an unsuitable frame sound.
For composite decking, the actual product collection determines fastening, spacing and support requirements. Compare stairs, guards, fascia and borders alongside the footprint.
Yes. Composite decking is an offered material option, with the exact collection, availability and complete construction scope confirmed in the proposal.
We can assess it. The retained structure must suit the selected product and agreed work; a new surface should not be assumed to make an unsuitable frame acceptable.
