Do I need a deck permit in Calgary?

Permit requirements depend on height, setbacks and how the deck attaches to the home. We advise on drawings and coordinate permits when needed.

Composite vs wood—what lasts longer in Calgary’s climate?

Capped composite and PVC boards resist moisture and UV better than typical wood and require far less maintenance.

Can you re-deck my existing frame with composite?

Often yes—after a structural inspection, we can resurface with composite and install new aluminum or glass railings.

Will composite decking get hot in summer?

Lighter colours run cooler, and we account for deck orientation and shade when recommending materials.

Can you add privacy screens or a pergola?

Yes—integrated privacy screens and pergolas can be designed to match your deck and home.
