Deck Upgrade: Before
The original deck had seen better days, with years of wear and tear taking a toll on its structure. Rot and decay had compromised its stability, posing safety concerns for the homeowners and making it an uninviting space to enjoy. The lack of railings around the deck further added to the safety risk, limiting the homeowners' ability to fully utilize the outdoor space.
The Upgrade Process
Our renovation process began by stripping the old deck down to its bare bones, ensuring a fresh start for the project. We meticulously assessed the structural integrity and devised a plan to rebuild the deck, prioritizing safety and aesthetics. Utilizing high-quality materials, we set out to create a deck that would withstand the elements and provide a modern and inviting atmosphere.
One of the key enhancements was the addition of custom railings around the deck. These railings not only offered a safety feature but also elevated the deck's overall appearance. We carefully selected sleek and durable materials that complemented the existing deck design, creating a seamless blend of functionality and style.
To further ensure safety, we installed a custom staircase with non-slip treads. This thoughtful addition not only provided easy access to the deck but also gave the homeowners peace of mind when traversing the stairs, especially during wet weather.
After: The Stunning Result of the Deck Transformation:
The completed deck transformation was nothing short of spectacular. The old, beaten-down deck had been replaced with a solid and visually appealing outdoor space that the homeowners could enjoy with confidence. The new railings offered both safety and elegance, enhancing the deck's overall aesthetic and creating a welcoming atmosphere.
The custom staircase with non-slip treads provided easy and secure access to the deck, making it a pleasure for the homeowners to move in and out of the space. The deck now exudes modern charm and practicality, offering the perfect setting for relaxation, entertaining, and embracing the beautiful Vancouver surroundings.

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.
