Why Markham Homeowners Choose Our Deck Company

Markham residents work too hard for their money. And when it’s time to hire a deck contractor, they expect the contractor to show up when they say they will. Someone who does clean work. And someone who stands behind what they build.

2-Year Warranty on All Labor

All of our work is backed by a 2 year limited warranty in writing, meaning if something goes wrong with the build, we’ll come back and fix it. Simple as that.

Fully Insured – Liability and WSIB

For your protection and peace of mind, all our workers are covered by liability insurance and WSIB. You, and our workers, are covered. It’s the right way to do business.

Free 3D Design Before We Build

We eliminate the guesswork involved in planning your deck. Starting with a photo-realistic 3D model, you’ll know what it will look like before lifting a board. Want to make changes? No problem. We’ll keep tweaking until you’re 100% happy.

Deck Building Services in Markham

Whether you’re looking for a large or small deck contractor in Markham we can help! We can build you anything from a simple platform deck to a multi-level outdoor living space with all the common decking materials.

Custom Deck Building in Markham

We will custom build your deck using pressure treated wood, cedar wood, composite decking or PVC decking. Each of these materials has a different feel and look, and we can help you to select the one that is right for your home and how you will use your deck. With homes in Markham built on oddly shaped lots and with grading issues, we always design the deck to work with the land.

Old Deck Rebuilding in Markham

Are any of the deck boards rotted or splintering? Is the railing loose? Is it sagging and wobbling? We take out your old deck, and we build a new one! There are dozens of aging, unsafe decks attached to homes, particularly in older areas, like Unionville and Markham Village. When we demolish and replace these decks, Markham homeowners receive a safe and appealing deck on their home once again.

Deck Design and 3D Modeling Markham

Don’t know what you want? It’s okay. Our designer will sit down with you to discuss your plans and ideas and then prepare a full 3D model of your deck. You will know exactly what your deck will look like. You choose colors, materials, and floor plans. This means there are no surprises when the deck is done. Our 3D design service gives Markham homeowners a visualization of how their deck will look.

Deck Repair in Markham

Maybe there are a few broken boards that need to be replaced, or maybe the stairs are starting to come loose. We do any type of deck repair, from small cracks to large holes. We’ll fix what is broken so your deck is safe and attractive. Markham experiences freeze-thaw cycles that, unaddressed, can cause small problems on decks to develop into larger ones.

Deck Contractor Serving All Markham Neighborhoods

Markham is one of the most diverse cities in Canada, with neighborhoods from quaint and historic, to brand new and suburban. Therefore each deck should be different as well. Having built many decks in Markham, we are very familiar with the area.

✔ Unionville – Our decks fit right in with the historic homes on Main Street, adding modern function while still complementing customary architecture. Many yards are adjacent to greenways and trails.
✔ Markham Village – Older homes near the Markham Museum and Robinson Street will likely require decks that complement the historic style of the area, and we can build decks that do just that.
✔ Cornell – In this newer section, with open plan homes, we design our decks for you to take your living space outside. They are perfect for entertaining your family.
✔ Berczy – We would say the whole area is a family-oriented neighborhood around Toogood Pond and we see lots of families who want decks big enough for kids to play and parents to relax.
✔ Angus Glen - Upscale homes along the golf course will often require high-end deck materials and larger decks. We’ve completed many such projects in this area.
✔ Cathedraltown - A community of homes, large and small, and we build decks to meet every style and budget imaginable

Decksforlife built our backyard deck. They came even earlier than the scheduled date. The deck came on budget and was solidly built. They kept the work area neat, tidy and clean during the entire construction. Most of all the deck came exactly as we talked about and there was tremendous attention to detail. Would highly recommend these guys.

I feel compelled to write a review for Decks for Life as our experience with Iaroslav was exceptional, and we are very happy to highly recommend him. He was extremely professional from our first meeting to our final one, and it is evident how seriously he takes his work and the trust his clients put in him. He has years of experience which allows him to offer great advice and he did not pressure us at all over several months of design and planning. His price was very fair and his workmanship and attention to detail was very much admired and appreciated. He completely cleaned up each day and took all debris and garbage with him. Our final product is very beautiful, solidly designed and will last a long time. We look forward to sharing a beer with him and his wonderful assistant Vlad whenever they have the time!

I don't write reviews often but I do when I have an exceptional experience. From the beginning, Iaroslav made the entire process of building our deck incredibly smooth and stress-free. His quote was competitive; he was honest, and he gave us great advice throughout while remaining open to our ideas and preferences. Communication and timelines were clear which we really appreciated. When it came to building our deck, Iaroslav and his team were meticulous and clearly skilled in their craft. He went above and beyond to make sure our aluminum privacy screen matched our railing, even at no extra cost to us, which really demonstrated how much he took pride in his work and how much he cared that we have a beautiful deck to enjoy for years to come. After the deck was completed, they left the work area clean and even pressure washed the deck for us. All in all, an exceptional experience from beginning to end. Don't hesitate to call Iaroslav and Decks for Life - we're so happy we did!

Iaroslav gave us honest and thoughtful advice when designing a deck to suit our needs. The prices were reasonable and the construction went smoothly. Iaroslav always left the worksite clean and tidy and we were very satisfied with the workmanship. We would recommend him to our friends and family.

We used DecksforLife to demolish and rebuild our 2-tier deck. Eric and his team did an amazing job, especially considering it was a challenging project with the shape and grade of our backyard. Eric is professional and extremely knowledgable about decking and composite products which I really appreciated as the amount of info out there is overwhelming. The price was fair and stayed on budget. Overall we are very happy with our deck from DecksforLife.
