Question 1

How much does a deck cost in Etobicoke?

Accepted Answer

Pressure-treated decks typically run $45–$70 per square foot; composite $75–$110. Compact city-lot decks often land between $8,000 and $20,000 depending on material, height, and built-ins; narrow access adds modest labour that we price into the fixed quote up front. Estimates are free and on-site.

Question 2

Do I need a permit for a deck in Etobicoke?

Accepted Answer

Under City of Toronto rules, generally yes for attached decks and anything more than 24 inches (600 mm) above grade. We prepare the drawings and handle the application as part of the project.

Question 3

Can you add privacy screening to the deck?

Accepted Answer

Yes — privacy is designed in, not added after. Louvred or lattice screens, taller railing sections where by-law allows, and planter-integrated railings all work on close-set lots. We'll show options at the design consultation.

Question 4

My lot is small — is a custom deck still worth it?

Accepted Answer

Small lots benefit most from custom design. Built-in benches replace bulky furniture, storage hides under the deck, and the shape is cut to your yard instead of a catalogue rectangle. A well-designed 10×12 deck outperforms a generic 12×16 on a compact Etobicoke lot.
