Deck Building FAQs

The cost of building a deck in Calgary depends on the size and height of the deck, the materials selected, site conditions, railings and stairs, and the complexity of the design. Features such as multiple levels, built-in seating, privacy screens or integrated landscaping can also affect the overall cost.

Pressure-treated wood is typically one of the more budget-friendly decking options, while cedar, composite and vinyl generally have a higher upfront cost.

At Assiniboine Landscapes, we provide custom estimates based on your property, preferred materials and how you want to use your outdoor space.

Pressure-treated wood, cedar, composite and vinyl can all be used for decks in Calgary, but each has different advantages.

Pressure-treated wood offers a traditional appearance at a more accessible price point. Cedar provides a natural, high-end look but requires ongoing maintenance as it ages. Composite and vinyl decking typically cost more upfront but require less maintenance and won’t need the same staining or refinishing as natural wood.

The best option depends on your budget, preferred appearance, maintenance expectations and how you plan to use your deck.

Whether you need a permit depends on the height, location and design of your deck.

In Calgary, a building permit is generally required for an uncovered deck when the deck surface is more than 0.6 metres (2 feet) above grade at any point. Covered decks and certain additions or modifications to existing decks may also require permits.

Development permits may be required depending on where the deck is located on your property and its proximity to property lines. Electrical or plumbing work incorporated into the project may require additional trade permits.

Because requirements vary by project, permit requirements should be confirmed before construction begins.

The lifespan of a deck depends on the decking material, construction quality, exposure to the elements and how well it is maintained.

Natural wood decks require regular maintenance to protect their appearance and condition. Cedar naturally weathers and can develop a silver-grey appearance over time, while pressure-treated wood can also fade with exposure. Composite and vinyl decking generally require less ongoing maintenance.

Proper design and construction are especially important in Calgary, where decks are exposed to snow, moisture, temperature changes and seasonal weather conditions.

deck and other woodwork projects.

It’s important to note that natural weathering isn’t considered a structural defect. Pressure-treated wood and composite products can fade over time, while cedar naturally develops a silver-grey appearance. Regular maintenance and staining of wood products are the homeowner’s responsibility.

Assiniboine’s warranty provides additional peace of mind that the structural workmanship of your new deck is backed after construction is complete.
