Decks FAQ
Composite or pressure-treated wood — which is better for a deck?+
Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech) costs more upfront but never needs staining, won't splinter, and resists Ontario's freeze-thaw cycles. Pressure-treated wood is more affordable and can be stained any colour but requires maintenance every 2-3 years. We help you choose based on budget and maintenance preference.
How deep do deck footings need to be in Windsor?+
Deck footings must extend below the frost line — typically 48 inches in Windsor-Essex. We use helical piers or concrete footings at full depth to prevent frost heave. The City of Windsor requires a building permit and footing inspection for decks over 24 inches high.
Can you build a covered deck or pergola?+
Yes. We build covered porches with solid roofs and open pergolas with shade slats. Covered decks require additional structural engineering for snow load and a permit. We handle the full design, permit, and build process for outdoor living spaces.
