Long-Lasting Deck Builders in Oakville — The Secrets
Deck builders are often not carpenters. About 80% of deck companies are building frames that can be expected to last only 5–15 years — actually built to code, but code was developed for homes with a roof. The newest eco-friendly pressure-treated lumber simply doesn't last as long as older formulations. We are seeing 5-year-old decks with rotten main beams.
Stairs are a weak point in most decks. New materials require an 8–10" spacing between supports — far beyond code — but when you cut stringers you open up untreated grain. If that grain is not sealed effectively, the stair structure will only last a few years.
There are many other ways decks fail prematurely in Mississauga and Oakville. Ask our designers to fill you in.
Oakville's Best Deck Company
We know most of the other established deck builders in Oakville, and we can say confidently we are the best deck company in the area. Don't be fooled by shiny showrooms — you're the one who will pay for them. Many of these companies utilize low-cost subcontractors and have huge overhead, with managers who have no actual deck building experience.
Wouldn't you rather deal with a prideful builder who builds one deck at a time? We think those big builders' days are numbered. Putting business ahead of design and build quality is a mistake — and people are getting wise to high-pressure sales tactics.
Cheap Chinese Decking in Oakville at a Premium Price
The new trend among deck builders in Oakville is to import rails and decking direct from China, then sell everything at a premium price. These products need testing and engineering — ask for that information. Many have no CCMC approvals for Canada and may contain banned substances. If the Oakville building department clues in during the build, you may have to replace all your decking at your own cost.
Three cedar decking types are sold in Canada: Eastern White Cedar (5–10 years outdoors), Western Red Cedar (15–30 years), and Chinese Cedar — which is actually a type of Fir, dipped in stain to look like Western Red Cedar. Within a year it turns black, and it will likely rot in under 10 years. As a homeowner you won't be able to tell until it ages or you cut into it.
