Question 1

How much does a deck cost in Oakville?

Accepted Answer

Pressure-treated decks typically run $45–$70 per square foot built; composite runs $75–$110. A typical 12×16 raised deck lands around $12,000–$18,000 in pressure-treated and $18,000–$28,000 in composite, depending on height, stairs, and railings. Free on-site design consultations come with fixed quotes for both options.

Question 2

Do I need a permit for a deck in Oakville?

Accepted Answer

Generally yes if the deck attaches to the house or sits more than 24 inches (600 mm) above grade — which covers most raised and walkout decks. We prepare the drawings and submit the Town of Oakville application as part of the project.

Question 3

Composite or wood — what do Oakville homeowners usually choose?

Accepted Answer

Composite wins most Oakville projects now: it costs more up front but needs only washing, keeps its colour, and lasts 25+ years — a better 10-year cost if you're staying in the home. Pressure-treated still makes sense on a budget or for resale prep. We quote both so you can compare honestly.

Question 4

Can you rebuild or resurface my existing deck?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes. If the frame and footings are sound, resurfacing with new composite boards and railings costs well under a full rebuild. We inspect the structure honestly at the free estimate — if the frame won't carry another 15 years, we'll tell you and price the rebuild.
