Deck Size & Material Choices
Woodstock homeowners can choose the right deck size and material options that match their desired space, budget, maintenance preferences, and lifestyle. Here are the size options:
- Small decks: Ranging from 100 to 200 square feet, small decks are ideal for townhomes, cozy patios, and yards.
- Medium-sized decks: These decks are 200 to 400 square feet, offering enough space for a family gathering.
- Large (multi-level) decks: Measuring over 400 square feet, large decks are ideal for multi-level properties.
- Custom-sized decks: These decks are designed to fit specific property layouts.
Wood Decks for a Natural, Timeless Beauty
Do you prefer the more traditional appeal of wood decks? We craft a variety of premium wood decks and customize them with a range of stains and finish options. Our wood decks include:
- Pressure-treated wood is an affordable choice that’s resistant to moisture damage, decay, and pest infestation.
- Cedar is rich in colour and resistant to rot and pest-related damage.
- Redwood is a premium choice, especially if you want a durable deck with deep, natural hues.
- Brazilian hardwood (IPE) is a weather-resistant, scratchproof, and ultra-durable deck material.
Low-Maintenance Composite Decks
Most of our Woodstock clients choose composite decks because of the variety of colour choices, ranging from cool to warm tones. Here are our low-maintenance composite material options.
- Trex composite is an environmentally friendly deck option that’s resistant to water damage, stains, and fading.
- PVC decking is 100% synthetic and ideal for mould-resistant, lightweight decks.
- Capped composite is a perfect choice if you want a stunning and durable deck.
Repair or Replace Your Existing Deck?
Time always takes a toll on decks, especially outdoor wooden ones. So, when signs of wear appear, how do you decide between repairing and replacing your deck?
Repairing your deck can be cost-effective. If the damage is minor, like surface-level rot, faded boards, or cosmetic wear, you may only need to replace a few boards or upgrade the railing. This is usually the case when the framing is still strong, only the surface decking shows signs of damage, and you’re not planning major layout changes.
However, when decay reaches the posts, joists, or ledger board, replacement is the safer choice. You should also consider replacing the entire deck if:
- There’s visible mould, soft spots, or deep rot
- The fasteners are rusted or missing
- The entire deck structure is unstable
- You want to expand or change the deck design
Unlike repairs, a new deck gives you a fresh start. If you’re still unsure whether to repair or replace your old deck, we’ll inspect it and give our professional advice
Wood vs. Composite Decks
For many Woodstock property owners, the choices come down to composite versus traditional wood decking. Work closely with our team to compare the two options in terms of longevity, appearance, maintenance, cost, and eco-friendliness.
For instance, traditional wood boasts unparalleled charm and elegance, while composite decks mimic the same appearance without the real depth and variation of wood. In terms of durability, premium wood like IPE and Redwood can last over 25 years. Composite decking, on the other hand, degrades more slowly than softwood, but both decking options require regular maintenance.
When choosing between traditional wood and composite decks, pay attention to the initial cost and maintenance expenses. For instance, composite materials have a high upfront cost. Similarly, exotic wood choices like IPE are the costliest. Consult our team to choose the right deck materials for high-quality results.
Our Customized Deck Building Process in Woodstock
A well-built deck requires premium materials, technical skills, and the meticulous attention that goes into every step of the design and construction process. At Premier Fencing, we’ve spent decades refining our process to build a durable deck that complements your property’s curb appeal.
Here’s how our team ensures deck strength and durability.
- Substructure preparation: We start by assessing the ground conditions and setting deep, stable footings. We use commercial-grade fasteners to prevent future shifting, settling, or water damage.
- Strong framing & joists: The deck’s frame supports everything above it. Our team installs pressure-treated joists with correct spacing and bracing to ensure proper weight distribution and withstand daily foot traffic.
- Professional decking installation: We secure deck boards with hidden fasteners for a smooth, polished look. This method also protects the boards from splitting and can extend their lifespan.
- Railings, stairs, and final touch-ups: Every deck is finished with precision. This includes the addition of safe stairs, secure railings, and the finishing details that bring it all together.
- Final inspection and clean up: Before we leave, we’ll do a full walkthrough, check for quality, and clean the site. You will be left with a deck that’s safe, clean, and ready for daily use.
Quality Deck Boards Can Make a Significant Difference
Poor-quality deck boards can warp, rot, or crack within a few years or seasons. Early damage can turn what was once a place to relax into a constant repair project. Most homeowners choose composite decking as this material doesn’t absorb moisture or warp over time. On the other hand, pressure-treated wood offers a timeless beauty but may require regular sealing to prevent decay.
Beyond the deck boards, we pay attention to the substructure. All beams, fasteners, and joists must be strong enough to support daily use and withstand temperature fluctuations common in Woodstock. Similarly, ventilation plays a key role in the functionality and durability of your decking. Trapped moisture under the boards can cause mould and rotting. Let our team help you choose and install the best deck boards to ensure durability.
Permit and Regulatory Compliance
Many property owners rarely think about permits and regulatory compliance until their projects begin. In Woodstock, if your deck is over 24 inches off the ground or attached to your property, you need a building permit.
There are local building codes in place to ensure the safety and longevity of decks. At Premier Fencing, we ensure your deck meets all local bylaws that direct all details, from load capacity and railing height to footing depth. Remember, ignoring these regulations can lead to forced deck modifications, hefty fines, or having to tear the entire deck down.
Let our team assess your planned deck construction, determine the necessary permits, and help you acquire them. We’ll ensure your deck project is regulatory compliant right from the initial planning up to the final installation and inspection.
What’s the Cost of Custom Deck Services in Woodstock?
The exact cost of your deck project will depend on your chosen materials, project complexity, and other factors. Therefore, it’s best to request a free quote. We’ll assess your deck installation project and provide a detailed quotation. Here’s a cost breakdown for various deck materials in Woodstock.
| Deck Materia | Cost per linear foot |
| Pressure-treated pine | $2 to $3 |
| Cedar | $3 to $6 |
| Redwood | $4 to $8 |
| Composite | $3 to $10 |
| PVC | $7 to $15 |
| Ipe: | $9 to $15 |
Depending on the scope of your project, a building permit may be necessary. This could cost you an extra $150 to $500, depending on your deck’s height and how it will be attached to your home. It’s crucial to pay attention to the deck installation cost and other labour costs. At Premier Fencing, we charge affordable prices for our deck solutions.
Single-Level vs Multi-Level Deck
A single-level deck can keep your outdoor space simple and accessible, while a multi-level deck adds functionality and depth to your space. Your choice will depend on the available space, backyard layout, and intended use. For instance, if your home is on a slope, our team may recommend a multi-level or multi-tiered deck to create stability.
On the other hand, a flat yard works best with a single-level deck as it offers easy access from your home to the yard.
When installing both deck types, our team uses hidden fasteners to ensure a seamless finish and eliminate instances of tripping. We also ensure proper drainage to prevent water pooling, rotting, and mould growth.
Deck Railings, Post Caps, & Privacy Screens
Your deck is more than just floorboards and footings. Other integrated features like deck railings, stairs, post caps, built-in seating, and privacy screens can make a significant difference in the comfort and functionality of your outdoor living space.
Our team can install privacy screens (sometimes made of glass panels) to protect your backyard from noise, prying eyes, and wind. We often recommend deck railings made of aluminum, glass, wood, or composite. These materials are durable, ensure safety, and require low maintenance. Remember, we will match your deck stairs, railings, and general design to your home’s style.
Installation of Sheds and Other Structures
In addition to deck installation, our team can build pergolas, sheds, and other structures that help create a cohesive backyard design. Regardless of the specific structure you want built, we’ll help you choose the right materials that will stand the test of time. For instance, we often recommend composite and pressure-treated wood as they resist cracking, moisture damage, and warping.
