Build the outdoor space you’ve always imagined

Cost depends on size, height, material, railing type, site access and whether existing structure needs removal. A ground-level pressure-treated deck and an elevated vinyl deck with aluminum railings sit at very different price points. We give you a written estimate after a free on-site assessment so the number reflects your actual project, not an average.

Usually, yes — most Lower Mainland municipalities require a permit for decks attached to the house or raised above a set height, and requirements vary between cities. The City of Vancouver works under its own building by-law rather than the provincial code. We confirm what your municipality requires and handle the permit as part of the project.

Most residential decks take one to three weeks on site once materials arrive. Permits, custom railings and structural repairs add time. We give you a timeline in the estimate and update you at each stage.

It depends on the deck. If there's living space underneath, vinyl membrane is usually the answer because it waterproofs and finishes in one system. For open backyard decks, composite gives you low maintenance, cedar gives you natural character, and pressure-treated is the most affordable. We walk through the trade-offs during the assessment.

A properly installed vinyl membrane typically lasts 20 to 30 years. Installation quality is the single biggest factor — seams have to be hot-air welded, not glued, and flashing has to be integrated into the building envelope.

Different jobs. Vinyl is a waterproof membrane, so it's what you use over living space, on balconies and on roof decks. Composite is a board product for open decks where waterproofing underneath isn't required. If there's a room below, it's vinyl.

Depends on the structure. If framing, posts and ledger are sound, we can often replace surface boards, membrane or railings. If there's rot in the framing or the ledger has failed, replacement is safer and usually cheaper over time. We assess the structure before quoting either way.

Yes. We handle balcony and walkway replacement for townhome complexes and apartment buildings — membrane, framing, flashing and guards as one assembly. We work with strata councils and property managers on phasing, resident notice and access, and provide insurance and WorkSafeBC documentation on request.

Yes. PCC carries $5M liability coverage and is registered and in good standing with WorkSafeBC. Documentation is available on request.

Yes, through Financeit.

A 10-year manufacturer warranty and a 5-year workmanship warranty.

We build year-round. Spring and summer book up fastest, so booking an assessment in late winter usually means a better spot in the schedule.
