Custom Decks & Pergolas in Ottawa

Decks and pergolas designed and built to code, with an itemized quote and firm schedule before any lumber shows up.

Outdoor living spaces built to survive Ottawa's frost line

A deck or pergola in Ottawa lives or dies on its footings. We dig and pour footings below the city's frost line, use appropriately sized structural lumber for the span, and build in proper drainage so the structure doesn't heave, twist, or rot ahead of schedule. A pergola gets the same treatment — posts set on real footings, not surface-mounted brackets that work loose after one winter.

We handle the permit process with the City of Ottawa where required, and walk you through the honest trade-offs between pressure-treated wood and composite decking for your budget and maintenance preference before you commit.

Deck & pergola questions Ottawa homeowners ask us

Pressure-treated wood or composite decking, which is better for Ottawa?
Pressure-treated wood costs less upfront but needs regular staining or sealing to handle our freeze-thaw cycles. Composite costs more initially but requires far less maintenance over its life. We'll go over both against your budget and how much upkeep you want to take on.
Do I need a permit to build a deck or pergola in Ottawa?
Most decks above a certain height or size require a building permit from the City of Ottawa, and larger attached pergolas can as well. We handle the permit application and ensure the design meets current code, including footing depth for our frost line.
Can a pergola be added to an existing deck?
In most cases, yes, provided the existing deck framing can carry the additional load, which we assess before quoting. Otherwise we'll reinforce the structure or scope it as part of the same project.
