Deck Materials for Every Style and Need
Wood Deck
Wood decks provide a timeless look and warmth, crafted from high-quality materials like pressure-treated lumber or cedar. We carefully select each piece of wood, paying attention to grain patterns and proper sealing to avoid moisture damage. Annual maintenance, such as resealing, can help retain color and longevity, making wood a great option for those who appreciate natural aesthetics.
Composite Deck
Composite decking offers both durability and low maintenance. Made from a blend of wood fibers and recycled plastics, composite decking resists damage from insects and fading from sunlight. Our team installs composite decks with precision, ensuring no warping over time. This is an ideal choice for homeowners wanting a sleek, modern look with minimal upkeep.
Vinyl Decking
Vinyl decking is moisture-resistant and offers long-lasting performance, making it a smart choice for areas with frequent water exposure, like pool decks. Its smooth surface provides comfort and safety, especially around wet areas. Proper installation ensures seamless connections, optimizing both appearance and durability.
Building Low-Maintenance Decks
For busy homeowners, our low-maintenance deck designs prioritize functionality and durability. By selecting the right materials like composite decking and pressure-treated wood decking, and using specialized fasteners, we ensure minimal upkeep. With a precise ¼-inch gap between decking boards, our designs support proper airflow and drainage, preventing issues like warping and rot over time. Our process includes a deck frame built with structural integrity, supported by footings and hardware to withstand Niagara’s climate.
Good airflow beneath the deck area is key to regulating temperatures and reducing surface heat, keeping the deck comfortable in warmer months. From ledger board to finishing touches, we aim to build a deck that combines convenience with longevity, so you enjoy your outdoor space without constant upkeep.
Deck Railings and Stair Solutions
Railings and stairs are essential components for both style and safety, completing any deck installation. We install railings at an optimal height—usually between 36 and 42 inches—based on your deck’s layout and local Niagara regulations. We use sturdy materials and ensure each railing withstands a minimum of 200 pounds of pressure, while stair treads are spaced with precision for safe footing. Details like these may go unnoticed, but they make all the difference to a secure, durable installation.
In addition to appearance, railings and stairs provide structural support, which is vital for the deck’s longevity. We consider load-bearing factors, deck size, and frame integrity to create a deck that’s both visually appealing and structurally sound. Each installation is handled with the right tools, concrete footings, and quality hardware to protect against wear and water damage.
Multi-Level Decks for Niagara Homes
A multi-level deck offers a versatile approach to outdoor living, creating separate areas that serve different purposes. One level might be a cozy retreat, while another functions as an entertainment space, complete with natural wood decks and composite decking installation. Each level’s foundation is carefully constructed to prevent sagging, especially important in Niagara’s varied weather conditions.
Structural planning for multi-level decks and deck extension includes the proper support of deck frames and beams, along with strategically placed joists. Our team evaluates the entire deck area, accounting for level lines and using the correct deck materials to ensure every layer is well-balanced and secure. By incorporating built-in stairs and railing solutions, we create a seamless flow that enhances both function and beauty, making the most of your outdoor space.

Niagara RoofMasters not only specializes in deck building but also offers professional fencing solutions for both residential and commercial properties. Our fencing installations are crafted to enhance both security and style. From selecting weather-resistant materials like cedar to ensuring precise alignment, we consider all factors that affect longevity and appearance. Each fencing project is tailored to match the specific layout and needs of your space.
Our approach to fencing involves detailed planning and construction, from measuring to choosing hardware that suits your property’s terrain. For instance, installing gates requires precise alignment of hinges to maintain security, while using durable, weather-resistant materials ensures that fences withstand Niagara’s elements. With the right materials and methods, our fencing solutions provide a beautiful, lasting addition to any property.
How Much Does a Custom Deck Cost in Niagara?
The cost of building a deck in Niagara varies depending on factors like layout, ground conditions, and material choices. Basic estimates start around $30 to $60 per square foot, though specific features such as multi-level decks, custom deck railings, and access considerations can adjust the price. Our deck build process includes a thorough evaluation to provide a transparent cost estimate, ensuring you receive value within your budget.
In addition to basic costs, we consider factors like standard material, ledger board quality, and finishing touches that may influence your deck’s durability. Our team ensures your project stays on budget while meeting your vision for a unique and functional outdoor space. From beams and joists to railings and nails, every detail contributes to creating a well-built, secure deck that enhances your property.
Building Permit Needed for Deck Installation in Niagara
A building permit is essential for deck projects in Niagara to ensure structural safety and compliance with local regulations. This includes adhering to the Ontario Building Code (OBC) standards, especially for deck extensions, ledger board attachment, and deck heights over 24 inches from ground level.
We assist in navigating the permitting process, handling specifics like batter boards and level lines for precise deck framing. Key details, such as properly supporting the deck structure and ensuring adequate landing pads for stairs, are critical steps. Our team verifies factors affecting stability, like deck materials and load-bearing capacities, guaranteeing that every deck is expertly installed and securely anchored to the house.
What Are the Steps and Timeline For Deck Installation?
Deck installation in Niagara Falls is a process that combines planning, precision, and careful timing. Typically, a straightforward deck project can be completed within a few days, but for more complex structures, like multi-level or custom-designed decks, the timeline may extend up to two weeks.
1. Site Preparation and Planning
The installation process begins with marking the deck area and securing the landing pad. We assess the layout, including factors like soil stability and existing landscaping, which might affect the deck’s durability. Properly supporting the frame at this stage is essential.
2. Laying the Foundation and Frame
Concrete footings are installed at specific depths, providing stability for the deck frame. Joists are then aligned along a level line to secure the deck structure. This phase ensures the deck can handle weather elements and regular use.
3. Decking Boards and Installation
We secure decking boards to the frame using galvanized screws, making sure every board is installed precisely. High-quality wood decking or composite materials are used, ensuring minimal future maintenance and extending the deck’s lifespan.
4. Final Touches and Inspection
Once the boards are laid, we focus on details like railings and stair installation. Nails are checked, and all elements are aligned to ensure both functionality and safety.
