Why Pickering Homeowners Choose Our Deck Company

Need a deck builder in Pickering that shows up on time and does quality work? You found us. We have been building decks for Pickering families since 2019. Why do our customers come back? It’s simple. We do good work at fair prices. We show up when we say we will. And we stand behind everything we build.

2-Year Warranty on All Labor

Every deck we build comes with a 2-year limited warranty. If there’s a problem, we’ll come back to fix it. No excuses. That’s how we’ve earned the trust of Pickering homeowners year after year.

Fully Insured – Liability and WSIB

Hiring a contractor that is not insured is risky. We carry full liability and WSIB insurance for all of our employees. You are protected. We are protected. This is the right way to do business, and it’s how we’ve always done business.

Free 3D Design Before We Build

Want to see your deck before we start building? We create a 3D model of your project so you can see every angle, every detail. Want to move the stairs or change the layout? Then we’ll revise the design until you are happy.

Deck Building Services in Pickering

Are you searching for a deck builder in Pickering? We can build any type of deck. Small backyard decks? Sure. Sprawling multi-level outdoor living spaces with built-in seating and pergolas? Yes! We do that too. Tell us how you picture it and we’ll make it happen.

Custom Deck Building in Pickering

Every backyard in Pickering is different. Some homes, like those in Bay Ridges, overlook the scenic Frenchman’s Bay. Some of our Amberlea customers back onto the quiet Altona Forest, and many of our Liverpool customers have large lots on or near the GO station. Therefore, we design and build decks to fit your house and the way you want to use the space. We work with pressure treated wood, cedar, composite decking, and PVC to give you the best options for your budget.

Old Deck Rebuilding in Pickering

Have an old deck, some rotting boards? How about some new ones? Wobbly railings? Stairs that don’t feel safe anymore? Most owner-built decks in older Pickering subdivisions like Dunbarton and Woodlands are 20 or 30 years old, so when they no longer make economic sense to repair, a complete rebuild will be warranted. We tear down the old deck and build you a new one that’s solid, safe and built to last. Many families throughout Pickering have called us to replace decks that have seen better days.

Decking Materials We Use in Pickering

Pressure Treated Wood – Starting at $30/sq.ft. Affordable, durable, and perfect for budget-conscious homeowners. Requires annual maintenance.
Cedar Decking – Starting at $37/sq.ft. Natural beauty with excellent weather resistance. Ideal for Pickering’s climate.
Composite Decking (Trex, TimberTech, fiberon) – Starting at $45/sq.ft. Low maintenance, 25-year warranty, won’t rot or splinter.
PVC Decking – Starting at $75/sq.ft. Premium option with superior durability and zero moisture absorption.

Deck Design and 3D Modeling in Pickering

Not sure what you want your new deck to look like? Most people aren’t, and that’s ok. Our design team will meet with you, listen to your ideas, and create a 3D model of your deck. You can walk through it on screen, view it from all angles and make changes before the first nail is even hammered. Want built-in benches? Move the steps to the other side? Change the railing arrangement? No problem, we will keep tweaking it until you are happy. That way, there’s no surprises when we’re done.

Deck Repair in Pickering

You may not need to completely replace your deck, but there are a few boards that have become a problem. The stairs may be cracking, or the railing may have come loose after last winter. We offer deck repair services to fix these problems fast. Residents of places like Highbush and Rosebank have called us for everything from small fixes to large fix-up jobs. If your deck just needs a little TLC, we can help with that too.

Deck Contractor Serving All Pickering Neighborhoods

Pickering is a great city and there are many neighborhoods. From the downtown waterfront area along the shores of Lake Ontario to the newer neighborhoods further west near 407, there is something for everyone. We know what materials and designs work best in Pickering because we’ve built so many.

✔ Liverpool – There are lots of properties with lake views near the Rotary Park area and along Lake Driveway, making the design of lakeside decks a good option.
✔ Bay Ridges – With many older and newer homes along Harwood Avenue, we can craft a deck to match whatever you have, whether that may be an older home or a newer design.
✔ Amberlea – With the new homes along Taunton Road and Rossland Road and families moving in all the time, our decks can be designed for young families wanting outdoor space for children and summer BBQs.
✔ Highbush – A well-established Pickering neighborhood near Salem Road with many character homes. Our decks complement the area’s charm with custom designs and modern elements.
✔ West Shore - We work with homeowners in the more historical areas of Kingston Road to try and design decks to be more in keeping with the heritage.
✔ Dunbarton - A residential community near the Greenwood Conservation Area where we build decks for homeowners looking to enjoy their backyards.

Right down the street from Pickering’s Town Center and GO Station. Great area for families who want to be close to shopping and the train line into Toronto. We build decks here for people who want to sit out on their back porch after work.

How Our Deck Building Process Works

Wondering what happens after you contact us? Here’s how we work with Pickering homeowners:

Step 1: Free Consultation

We come to your Pickering home and look at your backyard. We talk about what you want, what you need, and what makes sense for your property. No pressure, no sales pitch. Just an honest conversation about your deck project.

Step 2: Design and 3D Model

We create a full 3D model of your deck so you can see exactly what it’ll look like. Want to change things up? Add a built-in planter? Move the stairs? We’ll keep adjusting until you’re happy with it.

Step 3: Clear Quote

You’ll receive a detailed written quote with no hidden fees – what we quote is what you pay. Most decks in Pickering need a building permit from the City, and we handle all permit applications and paperwork for you.

Step 4: We Build Your Deck

Once permits are approved, we get to work. We show up on time, keep your property clean, and build your deck the right way. Most projects take about 3-5 days depending on size and complexity.

Step 5: Final Walkthrough

When we finish, we walk through the completed deck with you. We make sure everything looks good and answer any questions. Then we clean up and get out of your way so you can enjoy your new outdoor space.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Deck Building in Pickering

Who's the best deck builder near me in Pickering?

When looking for a deck builder in Pickering, check for three things. First, make sure they have proper insurance – both liability and WSIB coverage. Second, ask to see their past work and talk to previous customers. Third, get everything in writing, including a detailed quote and warranty terms. We check all those boxes, but don’t just take our word for it. Look at our Google reviews and see what other Pickering homeowners say about our work.

What's the price to build a deck in Pickering?

Deck prices start around $30 per sq.ft for pressure treated wood and can go up to $100+ per sq.ft for premium materials like PVC or IPE decking. Keep in mind that smaller decks usually cost more per square foot than larger ones. The final price depends on your deck size, material choice, and design complexity.

How much does it cost to build a 10x10 deck?

A 10×10 deck (100 sq.ft) can range from about $4,000 to $10,000 depending on the material you choose. Pressure treated wood is on the lower end, while composite, PVC, or IPE decking costs more. Give us a call at (647)-701-3206 to schedule an on-site estimate and we’ll discuss material options that fit your budget.

Do I need a permit for a deck in Pickering?

In Pickering, most decks that are over 24 inches (60 cm) above the ground need a building permit from the City of Pickering. Permit fees typically range from $200-$500 depending on deck size and complexity. The approval process usually takes 2-4 weeks. Don’t worry about navigating City Hall – we handle all permit applications and inspections for you as part of our service.
