In Ontario April and up to mid May is terrible time to build a deck as it's raining, temperatures vary from -1 to 80°, having employees dependant on hours during these two issues...you will lose your business. Always schedule right after mother's day.

Hi! I live in Stouffville, Ontario. We are redoing our deck this season and we decided to go with composite. Our deck is between our house and garage. We walk through it as our main entrance to the house. So in the winter it has to be shoveled and salted. Do you find that composite will withstand melting salt and shoveling? Any tips for maintaining the deck during the winter? Our current winter deck got destroyed because of winter and salt.
@thefruitfulhome4661 Жыл бұрын
Hi! We honestly never had to salt our deck so I can’t speak to that. But we did shovel it and it held up well to that. We used a plastic shovel though so you may just want to avoid anything with metal (which could scratch). Happy deck building :)
@starpartyguy5605 Жыл бұрын
I would definitely look for a shovel without a metal edge. If you are in harsh conditions, consider pvc decking. It has no wood fibers. So it should last as long as those plastic bags we sent to the dump over the last 50 years! Honestly, some decking is made from recycled plastics

One of may customers has duradek plank style deck. I live in Alberta Canada, and once it starts getting -1degress Celsius the deck gets very slippery. I always us a blower to make sure there is no ice or snow on it all winter. I'd like to get any advice to rectify this problem, without doing any damage. My customer is retired and a fall could be life threatening.

I just got an estimate to build a new deck, 12x24, 9 feet off ground. For composite (brand unknown), they wanted $56,000. I asked what wood would cost. $27k. Now, these guys were incredible installing windows and doing other carpentry. But this was outrageous. I called another person with good reviews. For Wolf Composite decking, 6x6 posts and 12 inch centers with picture frame edge, aluminum railings: $22k. I have one more person coming over to do an estimate. I'm guessing he's in the same ballpark. Area of country: Lancaster, Pa. The $22k (25 with deck removal) is affordable. The first estimates are not. Shame. I really liked that company.
@starpartyguy5605 Жыл бұрын
Update: My deck was finished a month ago and it looks great. Final price was $32,700. Final size was 12x23 with black aluminum railings. Justin Shelton of Evergreen Carpentry did the work. Picture frame edges around deck. Each step was mitered so the raw edges of the pvc were hidden. After he was done I put landscape fabric over the ground underneath and dumped 4 tons of red tipple stone under the deck. Then I built walls on each side, leaving a gap in the back.
