Deck Builder in Burnsland, Calgary

Burnsland is an inner-city district south of downtown in southeast Calgary. Serenity Decks builds composite and PVC decks for the homes in and around it, from older houses on the hill to newer townhomes and infills.

Decks for the Burnsland Area

Burnsland lies east of Macleod Trail and is mostly light industrial and commercial land. The residential streets are close by, in inner-city communities such as Parkhill, Erlton, Ramsay and Manchester.

Homes in this part of the city vary a lot. Some are century-old houses on sloping lots above the Elbow River. Others are recent infills and townhomes with small yards or upper-level outdoor space. We design each deck around the house it is attached to.

Local Conditions

What Decks in Burnsland Need

Sloping inner-city lots

A sloped yard can put one end of the deck well above grade. That affects the structure, the railing and the permit, and we plan for all three.

Small yards and upper decks

For infills and townhomes we build compact decks, balconies and rooftop decks that make limited space usable.

Central location

Burnsland is a short drive from anywhere in the inner city, so getting out for a consultation and keeping a build on schedule is simple.

Permits

Deck Permits in Burnsland

Burnsland 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.

Wes Martens made everything perfect as he committed. I can't think of hiring any other builder if Wes is available. Five star all the way.

Wes and his team were terrific to work with! Right from when I first reached out, Wes was professional, kind, and quick to come out and take measurements to provide a quote. Our decks, fence and pergola are gorgeous!
