Top-Quality Custom Decks Guaranteed
A beautiful deck begins with a strong foundation, and that means more than installing footings and laying boards. It requires expert planning, structural precision, and a builder who understands the long-term performance of different deck types.
At Premier Fencing, our in-house experts are trained, certified, and experienced in complex deck construction. With over 50,000 successfully completed builds, we know how to get deck construction right the first time.
Perhaps you prefer pressure-treated substructures and flawless finishes for composite decking. Regardless of how simple or complex your dream deck is, we’ll combine our best-in-class craftsmanship with a deep knowledge of the industry trends. The results? A carefully designed deck that is functional and complements your home’s curb appeal.
In addition, we partner with top-rated manufacturers like Yardistry, DoorKing, LiftMasters, and more. This allows us to source premium-quality materials for our clients’ deck projects.
Personalized Decks for Your Space
At Premier Fencing, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions, particularly for deck installation. Your deck should work for you, whether you plan weekend BBQs with your friends or prefer quiet time for your morning coffee. That’s why we customize the entire design process to match your goals, outdoor space, and budget.
Our team will help you choose the right decking materials that match your property’s exterior and preferences. Perhaps you prefer a pressure-treated wood or composite decking. We’ll work closely with you to assess your outdoor living space and your needs to design a beautiful new deck with your preferred integrated features. For instance, we can build a deck with built-in seating, aluminum railing, or built-in benches.

Deck Size Guide for Georgetown Property Owners
At Premier Fencing, we help you choose the right size and materials based on how you plan to use your deck. Here are the common deck sizes for Georgetown homes.
- Small (100–200 sq. ft.): These decks are great for small yards or townhomes
- Medium decks (200–400 sq. ft.): Perfect for families and outdoor dining
- Large (400+ sq. ft.): Such decks are ideal for entertaining or multi-level designs
- Custom-sized decks: We can customize a deck to fit your property’s unique layout
Wood Decking for a Traditional, Timeless Beauty
- Pressure-treated wood: Affordable decking material that is resistant to decay and pests
- Cedar decking: Naturally beautiful and resistant to rot and insect-related damage
- Redwood: High-end option with rich colour and impressive durability
- Brazilian hardwood or IPE: Dense, durable hardwood with superior resistance to harsh weather conditions
Composite Decking is a Low-Maintenance Alternative
- Trex composite: Durable, eco-friendly, and weather-resistant decking material
- PVC decking: Lightweight, moisture-proof, and mould-resistant decking option
- Capped composite: Durable core with a protective outer shell for fade-resistance and improved staining
Repair an Old Deck or Replace it?
The decision to replace or repair an old deck depends on a few key factors, including the age of the structure, the type and extent of damage, and whether the deck is still structurally sound. Signs that may indicate serious deck damage include:
- Sagging, leaning, or movement when walking on
- Loose or rotting boards, stairs, or railings
- Severe cracking, splintering, or warping
- Insect infestations and wood rot
- Significant surface fading or discoloration
Deck repairs are suitable when damage is minor and localized. If the deck structure is strong and repairable without major reconstruction, it is often more cost-effective to restore the damaged sections. However, if your deck shows extensive deterioration or you plan to make significant layout or material upgrades, a full replacement is the smarter investment.
Our team will assess the extent of damage and recommend the most cost-effective way to address it.
Choosing Between Composite and Wood Decking
Are you wondering whether composite or wood decking is right for your home? Your choice comes down to how you plan to use your new outdoor space and how much maintenance you’re willing to take on.
Composite decking is great if you want a low-maintenance, moisture-resistant, and splinter-free surface. It’s ideal for families, especially with kids or pets, and won’t rot or fade easily. Many homeowners like its modern look and long-term durability.
Wood decking, on the other hand, offers natural warmth and texture that can’t be replicated. Cedar and pressure-treated lumber bring authentic charm and can last for decades with the right care. That means you will have to perform seasonal sealing and cleaning.
Budget-wise, both wood and composite decking offer options across various price points. Environmental concerns? Quality composite products use recycled materials, while sustainably sourced lumber is also eco-friendly. Our team will walk you through all options, explain the pros, cons, and long-term care needs. This will empower you to make an informed decision that fits your home and lifestyle.
Personalized Deck Building Process in Georgetown
What makes our custom decks stand out isn’t the 100+ years we have been in business or the 50,000+ builds we have completed. It is our step-by-step process that ensures every deck we build in Georgetown is safe, long-lasting, and built with the end user in mind. Here’s how we make it happen:
Preparing substructure: We begin with a thorough site evaluation, then install deep-set concrete footings and secure a level base that won’t shift, sink, or warp over time.
Strong deck framing: Our experts use pressure-treated joists and beams to ensure your deck distributes weight evenly and can withstand daily use. Whether you have heavy furniture or many people will be using the deck, we will ensure it is strong enough to support daily use.
Professional decking installation: Our deck builders use precision tools and hidden fasteners to install decking while ensuring a clean, gap-free finish. No surface nails, splinters, or uneven spacing.
Finishing details: From deck railings to staircases, we install every element to match strict industry standards and your needs. If you need integrated features such as built-in seating or lighting, we’ll add them.
Final walkthrough + cleanup: Before we call your project complete, we perform a full inspection, confirm every detail meets industry standards, and clean the site thoroughly. You’ll be ready to enjoy your deck the same day.
Quality Deck Boards = Durability, Better Visual Appeal, & Functionality
Even the best installation method can’t fix poor-quality deck boards. If your deck boards aren’t designed to last, issues like cracking, warping, or rotting can appear within just a few seasons. You will need to perform frequent repairs, which can significantly increase your deck’s maintenance costs.
With composite decking, moisture is no longer a threat. It won’t swell, fade, or splinter, even with heavy use. If you prefer natural wood, cedar and pressure-treated deck boards perform well when regularly sealed and maintained. However, quality still varies. Generally, poor-quality deck boards are more prone to damage over time.
Do you need a Building Permit for Deck Installation?
If your deck is more than 24 inches off the ground or attached to your home, you need to obtain the right building permit from the local building department. Generally, local building codes help ensure your deck is safe, stable, and structurally sound. These regulations cover everything from railing height and stair safety to footing depth and load capacity. Failure to follow them can result in costly fines, failed inspections, or even being required to remove your deck.
At Premier Fencing, we’ll help you handle all the paperwork related to permit applications and approvals. We’ll ensure your deck meets local building codes and local bylaws from day one. You’ll get peace of mind knowing your deck is legally compliant, properly inspected, and backed by our 2-year workmanship warranty.

Let our deck installation experts help you plan for all the details, compare most deck types, and choose the most affordable options.
Single-Level vs. Multi-Level Deck
Before you choose the specific deck style for your home, take the time to assess your backyard, then compare it with the benefits and downsides of each option. Most homeowners prefer a single-level deck because of the space it offers and affordability. Others prefer the functionality of multi-level decks. For instance, you can use each deck level for a specific purpose.
However, you should consider other factors such as your yard’s slope. Multi-level decks often create a stable, usable space on properties on a slope. No extensive excavation is necessary. On the other hand, single-level decks are ideal for properties with flat yards.
Privacy Screens, Deck Railings, and Post Caps
When installed carefully, privacy screens, railing, post caps, and other integrated features can enhance the visual appeal and functionality of your deck. For instance, custom-made privacy screens can protect your property’s backyard from prying eyes, wind, and noise.
You can choose composite, wood, glass, or aluminum deck railings. Each of these material options has benefits and limitations related to safety, maintenance requirements, and durability. Let our team guide you to compare different features and materials that can enhance your deck’s functionality.
