Toronto & GTA · Deck Building

Deck Builder in Toronto & the GTA

A deck has to handle Toronto summers, winter snow load and years of freeze-thaw. What makes it last is mostly out of sight: footings below the frost line, correct joist spacing, proper fasteners and flashing where the deck meets the house.

As a deck contractor we build new decks, rebuild tired ones and resurface decks where the frame is still sound. You get a written quote with the materials listed, a confirmed start date and one crew from start to finish.

New backyard wood deck built by New Line Renovations

What's included

  • Deck construction: new decks, ground level and raised
  • Deck rebuilds on existing or new footings
  • Deck resurfacing with new boards and railings
  • Deck repairs: boards, stairs, railings, joists
  • Pressure-treated wood, cedar or composite decking
  • Stairs, railings and privacy screens

Wood or composite decking

Pressure-treated wood is the most affordable option and works well if you are happy to stain it every few years. Cedar looks better and resists rot naturally, but also needs regular care. Composite costs more up front and needs very little maintenance.

We go through the options with you at the survey and price the ones you are interested in, so you can compare on real numbers.

Deck permits in Toronto

Decks in Ontario are covered by the Ontario Building Code, and many decks in Toronto need a building permit, especially raised decks and decks attached to the house. The rules depend on the height, size and location of the deck, so we check what applies to your property before the job starts and tell you if a permit is needed.

Repair, resurface or rebuild?

If the frame and footings are solid, replacing the boards and railings can give you a new-looking deck for a fraction of the cost of a rebuild. If joists are soft or footings have shifted, resurfacing only hides the problem. We check the structure first and tell you honestly which option makes sense.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit to build a deck in Toronto?

Often, yes, depending on the height, size and whether it is attached to the house. We check the requirements for your property before any work starts.

How long does it take to build a deck?

A typical backyard deck takes several days once materials are on site. You get a confirmed start date and duration in your written quote.

Can you resurface my existing deck?

If the frame and footings are in good shape, yes. We inspect the structure first so we are not putting new boards on a failing frame.

Which decking lasts longest?

Composite generally needs the least maintenance. Pressure-treated wood and cedar last well if they are cleaned and stained regularly.
