Deck Repair & Deck Building in Durham Region
Fix the rot before it spreads.
Rotting boards, wobbly railings, or a deck that's seen better days. We repair it or build a new one from scratch.
What we offer
Decks take a beating in Ontario. Freeze-thaw cycles crack the boards, the sun bleaches the wood grey, and moisture slowly rots the framing underneath, where you can't see it.
If your deck feels spongy underfoot, has rot you can see, or the railing moves when you lean on it, it's time to deal with it.
Some deck repair jobs are a few boards. Others mean rebuilding the whole structure. Pedro's construction background means he looks past the surface boards to the parts that actually hold the deck up: the joists, ledger boards and footings.
Our process
Inspection
We go over the whole structure: boards, joists, posts, hardware, railings, and where the deck attaches to the house.
Diagnosis and quote
We tell you exactly what has to be replaced and what can be saved. The written estimate lists the materials out.
Repair or build
Bad boards come out and new ones go in. If the framing underneath needs work, that gets done first. New builds start with proper footings.
Finishing
We sand, then stain or seal as needed. A deck that's finished properly lasts years longer than one left bare.
Cost & pricing guide
Replacing boards usually costs $15 to $30 per board, depending on the material.
New railings run about $20 to $50 per linear foot.
A full rebuild of a 10x12 pressure-treated deck is typically $3,000 to $7,000. Height, complexity and local conditions decide where in that range it lands.

- A straight answer. We'll tell you whether you need a repair or a rebuild, and explain why.
- The right materials. We'll suggest what suits Ontario's climate and your budget.
- Warranty. We stand behind our deck work.
Deck Repair & Building: FAQ
How do I know if my deck needs repair or full replacement?
If the deck boards are damaged but the framing underneath is solid, repairing it makes sense. If the joists are soft, the posts are rotting, or the ledger board is pulling away from the house, a full rebuild is usually the better use of your money.
How much does deck repair cost in Ontario?
It comes down to scope. Swapping out a handful of boards might be $200 to $500. Full rebuilds start around $3,000 for a small deck.
Do you build new decks?
Yes. We build pressure-treated and composite decks from the ground up, including the footings, framing, decking, railings and stairs.
When is the best time of year for deck work?
Anytime from spring through fall. For deck staining and sealing, you want temperatures above 10°C and no rain in the forecast for 24 to 48 hours.
