Deck Upgrade: Before
Prior to our intervention, the deck was in a dilapidated state, displaying visible signs of neglect and wear. The wooden deck boards, once vibrant and inviting, had weathered over time, showing signs of rot, warping, and discolouration. Splintered edges posed a potential safety hazard, making the deck an impractical and unenjoyable space for the homeowners.
The deck post, in particular, was severely compromised by rot and decay. The structural integrity of the post had significantly weakened, raising concerns about its ability to support the weight of the deck and ensure the safety of anyone using it. It was clear that immediate attention and an extensive upgrade were necessary to restore the deck to its former glory.
Additionally, the overall design of the deck had become outdated and no longer reflected the homeowners' style and preferences. The lack of proper lighting fixtures made it challenging to use the deck in the evenings, limiting its functionality and enjoyment.
The Upgrade Process
To begin the upgrade process, we embarked on the careful removal of the old and deteriorated deck post, ensuring minimal damage to the surrounding structure. With meticulous attention, we crafted a custom-made deck post using high-quality, pressure-treated wood for enhanced durability and longevity.
Moving forward, our focus shifted to the deck itself. Collaborating closely with the homeowners, we designed a new deck that aligned with their functional needs and aesthetic preferences. Carefully selected premium materials were employed to withstand Vancouver's climate while creating an inviting space that would endure for years to come.
With a keen eye for detail, we embarked on the installation of the new decking boards, ensuring each piece was precisely aligned and securely fastened. As part of the upgrade, we elevated the railing system, incorporating both safety and visual appeal. Additionally, custom features such as built-in seating and a dedicated grilling area were integrated, optimizing the deck's functionality.
Deck Upgrade: After
The deck and deck post-replacement resulted in a remarkable transformation. The new deck post provided solid support, ensuring safety and stability. The upgraded deck features a beautiful and durable surface, with ample space for relaxation and entertainment.
Our commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, attention to detail, and customer satisfaction is evident in this project. Contact us today to discuss your deck renovation project and witness the remarkable transformation we can bring to your home.

Yes, you will likely need permits to renovate your home in Vancouver. The specific permits required will depend on the scope and nature of your renovation project.
In general, if your renovation involves any structural changes, electrical or plumbing work, or changes to the building envelope (e.g. windows, doors, insulation), you will need to obtain a building permit from the City of Vancouver.
If your renovation involves changes to the exterior of the building, such as the addition of a deck or a new roof, you may also need a development permit.
It is important to note that failing to obtain the necessary permits can result in fines or legal issues down the line, so it is always a good idea to consult with a professional and obtain the proper permits before starting any renovation work.
