What we build
How we plan a deck with you, from the first visit to the final walk-through
We start by walking around your yard together. You show us where you want to sit and step outside. We look at the house wall, ground level, and exterior doors. We talk with you about how you intend to use the outdoor space.
We draw up solid layout options for your new deck build. You choose the deck boards, railings, and overall frame shape. We explain how the ledger, joists, and footings support everything. You check the layout to make sure it suits your home.
We build the structure from deep footings up to the surface. You watch the progress as we attach the framing and main boards. We finish with sturdy railings and clean up your yard completely. You walk through the finished build with us to inspect every detail.
Permit rules depend on your town.
Nanoose Bay is an electoral area in the Regional District of Nanaimo, where a deck permit is required. Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Lantzville and Nanaimo set their own rules. Check what applies to your address.

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 in electoral areas like Nanoose Bay. We pull that permit before any tear-off begins.
- Is re-decking cheaper than building a new deck?
- When framing remains sound, re-decking costs $45 to $65 per square foot. Reusing your existing foundation keeps costs low. You're paying for decking and labour, not a new foundation.
