What a deck costs here
Installed cost per square foot, by material — the same ranges we quote on site visits across Parksville and the Regional District of Nanaimo.
| Material | Installed cost per sq ft | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure-treated wood | $45 – $75 | Budget-friendly; sensitive to wet-coast moisture over the long term |
| Western red cedar | $60 – $90 | Local look, natural rot resistance, moderate maintenance |
| Vinyl membrane (sheet waterproofing) | $50 – $85 | Needed for a deck over living space or dry storage underneath |
| Composite (Trex, TimberTech) | $80 – $130 | Low maintenance, handles rain and shade moss without rotting |
| PVC or exotic hardwood (e.g. Ipe) | $100 – $150+ | Premium durability, rot and insect immunity |

What we build
Permits depend on your municipality
Nanoose Bay sits in a Regional District of Nanaimo electoral area, where a deck permit is required by rule. Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Lantzville and Nanaimo each set their own requirement — see what applies to your address.
What does a typical job look like?
- The problem
- A Parksville family's twenty-year-old deck has cupped, silvery boards and a soft spot near the door.
- What makes it harder
- The joists underneath are still sound, but three of the deck boards have gone soft enough to flex underfoot.
- What we do
- We replace the three worn boards and the railing section nearest the door, leaving the sound framing in place.

Parksville Deck Builders service area
We build for the wet-coast conditions from French Creek to Nanaimo — a deck near the water gets different fasteners and railing hardware than one set back on a dry inland lot, and we spec each job for where it sits.

Frequently asked
Decks in Parksville — FAQ
- How much does a new deck cost in Parksville?
- Installed cost runs about $45 to $75 per square foot for pressure-treated wood, $60 to $90 for western red cedar, and $80 to $130 for composite. A basic 100 to 150 square foot deck usually lands between $6,000 and $12,000, and a mid-range 200 to 300 square foot deck between $15,000 and $28,000. We confirm your deck cost after seeing the site.
- Do I need a permit to build a deck in Nanoose Bay?
- Yes. The Regional District of Nanaimo requires a permit to remodel or construct a deck on rural property in its electoral areas, which includes Nanoose Bay. We pull that permit before any tear-off begins.
- Is re-decking cheaper than building a new deck?
- On existing, sound framing, re-decking runs about $45 to $65 per square foot — close to the $45 to $75 range for a whole new pressure-treated deck, because the framing and footings are already there. You're paying for decking and labour, not a new foundation.
- What areas do you build decks in?
- We work across Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Lantzville, Nanoose Bay and Nanaimo — the full Regional District of Nanaimo service area.
- Are you insured?
- Yes. We carry $2 million in liability insurance and WorkSafeBC coverage on every job.
