FAQs Around Deck Building in Metro Vancouver
Whether it’s a modern composite deck, rooftop deck, or cedar backyard deck, we tailor every project to your space, lifestyle, and vision.
How much does a new deck cost in Surrey?
Deck pricing depends on size, material, height, and design complexity. In Vancouver, most decks range from $45–$110 per sq ft, with cedar on the lower end and composite/PVC on the higher end. Rooftop decks or waterproof vinyl systems cost more but provide premium durability. We offer free, accurate quotes based on your specific project.
Do I need a permit to build a deck in Surrey?
You may need a permit if:
- Your deck is elevated or attached to the home
- You’re adding structural components
- You’re changing the footprint or height
- You live in a strata or multi-family building
We guide you through Surrey's permit requirements and handle documentation when needed.
What decking material is best for Surrey weather?
Because Surrey has heavy rain and high moisture, the top-performing materials are:
- Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech, Fiberon)
- PVC decking (premium weatherproof option)
- Vinyl membrane decking for balconies & rooftop decks
- Western Red Cedar for a natural, West Coast look
We help you choose the best option for durability, appearance, and budget.
How long does deck construction take?
Most standard decks take 1–3 weeks to complete depending on size, design, and weather. Rooftop decks, multi-level decks, and waterproof membrane systems may take longer. We provide a clear timeline before beginning any project.
Can you repair an old deck or should I replace it?
We can repair or restore older decks by replacing boards, fixing rot, strengthening framing, or resurfacing. However, if your deck has widespread rot, unsafe footings, or outdated framing, a full deck replacement is safer and more cost-effective long-term. We’ll assess your deck and recommend the best option.
What is the difference between vinyl decking and composite decking?
Vinyl decking is a waterproof membrane used for balconies, rooftop decks, and sundecks where leak protection is essential.
Composite decking is a low-maintenance board product for standard backyard decks and patios that looks and feels more like wood.
We install both depending on your deck style and waterproofing needs.
Do you work with strata buildings and multi-family properties?
Yes. We provide strata-compliant vinyl membranes, balcony replacements, railings, waterproofing systems, and safety upgrades for multi-family buildings across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.
How long do cedar, composite, and vinyl decks last in Surrey?
Approximate lifespans:
Cedar: 15–25 years with proper maintenance
Composite: 25–40+ years
PVC: 40+ years
Vinyl membranes: 15–25 years depending on exposure
Choosing the right material for Surrey's wet climate ensures maximum durability.
