Deck Contractors Cambridge ON
There’s something very Canadian about enjoying a summer evening with your closest family and friends and kicking back with a cold beer in your hands, all in the comfort of your backyard deck. This has become almost an iconic image in our Canadian culture. Now if you’re mulling over whether to build the deck yourself or to seek the help from a decking company, we may be biased, but we wholeheartedly advise that unless you’re an experienced deck builder yourself or extremely handy, for the sake of quality workmanship and a deck’s longevity, you should give us a call as we’re one of the most experienced deck installation companies in Cambridge.
Calling upon a professional deck builder is a good idea for a few reasons. First, if there are any mistakes, the liability falls on the deck installer, not on you. Second, there’s just plain experience. For example, if you even have to wonder about the answer to a question like “can you put new decking over old decking?”, then you’re probably not equipped to build the deck yourself. Going back to that previous question, no, it’s not advised to install a deck over an existing deck, as moisture can be trapped between the two layers, encouraging rot and decay. Our deck experts will know these facts like the back of their hands. |

Our deck installation company is knowledgeable in all types of deck inquiries, from how to property install a deck on a hill, to what material works best. Let’s touch on a couple of them here:
Materials: the two most common decking materials are wood and composite. We are fans of composite decks because the material (made from a combination of wood sawdust and plastic) is very durable, low maintenance and maintains a steady appearance throughout the years. With wood decks, there’s a higher chance of rot and decay, they generally don’t last as long as composite and splinters and cracks are more bound to happen. However, some homeowners, regardless of the added features of modern decking materials swear by wood’s natural beauty and/or want to use as little man-made materials as possible.
Types: there are different types of decks, typically based on the area onto which it’s installed where special considerations need to be made. A few typical ones are:
...and others.
How much does it cost to install a deck? The deck installation cost depends on various factors such as the material you choose (wood vs. composite), the type of deck (hillside is more complicated than a gazebo deck, for example) and the complexity of the job.
