Quick answers to the things homeowners ask before starting.
How much does a deck cost in Vancouver?
A basic pressure-treated wood deck costs $25-$40 per square foot. Composite decking (Trex, etc.) runs $40-$60 per square foot. A typical 200 sqft deck is $5,000-$12,000 depending on material, height, and railing complexity.
Do I need a permit for a deck in Vancouver?
Permit requirements depend on deck height, attachment to the house, setbacks, and local bylaws. Check with your local municipality (for Vancouver addresses, the City of Vancouver) before finalizing the design. Ground-level patios may be treated differently from elevated decks.
Composite vs wood deck — which is better for Vancouver's climate?
Composite decking is increasingly popular in Vancouver because it doesn't rot, warp, or splinter in wet conditions. It costs more upfront but requires minimal maintenance. Wood (cedar or pressure-treated) is cheaper but needs regular sealing.
How long does deck construction take in Vancouver?
A standard deck takes 3-7 days to build depending on size, height, and complexity. Composite decking installs slightly faster than wood. Permits add 2-4 weeks to the timeline before construction can start.
