Cost Guide of Building a Deck in Canada

Planning to build a deck with Nisan Interior in Canada? Let's delve into the costs to help you budget effectively for your outdoor project! 🏡🛠️ 

National Average Cost for Building a Deck 

  • Typical Range: CAD 7,030 to CAD 7,770 

  • These costs can vary based on several factors, including the size and materials of the deck. 

Factors Affecting Deck Building Costs 

  • Deck Size: Larger decks require more materials and labor, increasing overall costs. 

  • Decking Material: Options like wood, composite, and PVC have different price points and longevity. 

  • Labor Costs: Vary by location and the complexity of the deck design. 

  • Geographic Location: Costs can be higher in areas with a higher cost of living. 



Decking Materials and Their Costs 

  • Natural Wood: Includes options like redwood, cedar, teak, ipe, tigerwood, bamboo, and pine. Costs vary with the type of wood, its durability, and maintenance requirements. 

  • Composites: Made from a mix of wood fibers and plastic, these decks are durable and low maintenance but can be more expensive than wood. 

  • PVC: Highly durable and low maintenance but usually the most expensive option. Not ideal for hot climates as it can get quite warm. 

Other Considerations for Deck Building 

  • Home Valuation: The ROI for a deck can average around 70-80%. 

  • Sustainability: Wooden decks are more eco-friendly but require regular maintenance. Composite and PVC decks last longer but are less sustainable. 

  • Design: Timeless design choices ensure your deck remains stylish for years. 

Hiring a Professional Deck Builder 

  • Compare quotes from multiple contractors to find the best deal. 

  • Ensure the builder is experienced with your chosen materials and understands local building codes and permit requirements. 

Additional Outdoor Space Enhancements 

  • Landscaping: Consider integrating your deck with new landscaping for a cohesive outdoor space. 

  • Patio Additions: If you're also considering a patio, explore options for stone, paver, or concrete contractors.
