Deck Builder in Altadore

Deck Builder in Altadore, Calgary

Altadore has changed more than almost any community in southwest Calgary, with new infill homes going up beside original bungalows. Serenity Decks builds composite and PVC decks for both, designed for narrow lots and close neighbours.

Decks for Altadore Infills and Bungalows

Altadore runs south from Marda Loop toward River Park and Sandy Beach on the Elbow River. Much of the original housing has been replaced by semi-detached and narrow-lot infill homes, which means smaller back yards, a garage on the lane and neighbours on both sides.

Space is the challenge here, so we design for it. A well-planned deck on a narrow lot gives you room to eat and sit outside without losing the whole yard, and a privacy screen on one side can make it feel like your own.

Local Conditions

What Decks in Altadore Need

Narrow lots and setbacks

On a narrow lot the deck often comes close to the side property line. The City may require a development permit when it does, so we measure and confirm before we draw the deck.

Privacy from close neighbours

Privacy screens and the right railing make a small deck usable. We build screens to match the deck so they look planned, not added on.

Rooftop and upper decks

Many infills have an upper or rooftop outdoor space. We build these in composite and PVC with railing that meets code and keeps the view.

Permits

Deck Permits in Altadore

Altadore is inside Calgary city limits, so deck permits go through the City of Calgary. These are the rules that most often apply. We confirm them for your lot and prepare the application for you.

  • •A building permit is needed for any covered deck, and for an uncovered deck more than 0.6 m (2 ft) above grade at any point.
  • •A development permit may also be needed if the deck is at the front of the home, closer than 1.2 m to a side property line, or closer than 6 m to the rear property line.
