Deck Builder in Chestermere

Deck Builder in Chestermere, AB

Chestermere grew up around its lake, and decks here get used hard all summer. Serenity builds low-maintenance composite and PVC decks for Chestermere homes, from lakefront lots to the newer communities east of Calgary.

Decks Built for Lake Life in Chestermere

Chestermere Lake started as a natural wetland and was turned into an irrigation reservoir by 1907. The summer cabins along its shore became a summer village, then a town, and since 2015 a city. Today it is a mix of lakeside homes and fast-growing family neighbourhoods.

Homes near water have a moisture problem that wood decks do not handle well, and many homeowners here want a deck they can use instead of maintain. That makes composite and AZEK PVC a natural fit. PVC in particular absorbs no moisture at all.

Permits

Chestermere Deck Permits: What You Need to Know

The City of Chestermere's Development and Building Services team handles deck permits, with applications made online through E-Permits. Its current guidance on uncovered decks is below. We confirm it for your lot and handle the paperwork.

  • •A building permit is needed for an uncovered deck more than 0.6 m above grade.
  • •Replacing, rebuilding or extending a deck needs a permit, as does replacing structural components.
  • •A development permit is needed if the deck projects into any side setback, or more than 2 m into a front or rear setback.
  • •The City quotes 7 to 10 business days for a building permit review, but about 10 to 12 weeks when a development permit is needed, so plan early if your deck pushes into a setback.

Local Conditions

Building for Chestermere Homes

Moisture near the lake

Constant moisture is what rots wood decks. Composite resists it and PVC ignores it, and vented skirting keeps air moving under the deck so the framing stays dry.

Setback timing

If your design pushes into a setback, Chestermere's development permit can add about 10 to 12 weeks. We flag that at the consultation so it does not surprise you in June.

Hot tubs and outdoor living

Many Chestermere decks carry a hot tub or a full outdoor kitchen setup. We design the framing for the weight and pick a board that handles splashing.

We had a large project that we had quoted by numerous other companies and Wes came in much more reasonable than anyone else. He and his crew are pleasant to deal with and did a great job. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking for someone they can trust!

SC built a couple of our decks and did some home renos. Wes was on time and on budget. I would recommend them for any reno including kitchen, deck and home build.

FAQ

Chestermere Deck Questions

Yes, for an uncovered deck more than 0.6 m above grade, and for replacing, rebuilding or extending a deck. Applications go through the City's E-Permits system, and we handle them for you.
The City quotes 7 to 10 business days for a building permit review. If the deck also needs a development permit because it projects into a setback, allow about 10 to 12 weeks.
AZEK PVC is the most moisture resistant option because it contains no wood fibre. Capped composite is also a strong choice and costs less. Wes brings both so you can compare them.
Yes. We design the framing for the hot tub's weight and include the engineering and permit work in your fixed estimate.
No. You pay when the deck is finished and you are happy with it.
