Franklin is a business district in northeast Calgary beside Memorial Drive, with established residential communities on every side. Serenity Decks builds and replaces decks for those homes in composite and PVC.
Franklin is mostly commercial and light industrial land, served by the Franklin CTrain station. The homes nearby are in Marlborough, Mayland Heights and Albert Park/Radisson Heights, communities that were largely built between the 1950s and the 1970s.
We build two things here most often: a replacement for an original deck that has run its course, and a larger, better-planned deck for a family that has outgrown a small landing and steps.

What Decks in Franklin Need
Deck replacement
We remove the old deck, haul it away and build a new one in composite or PVC on a proper foundation.
Tougher surfaces
Northeast Calgary took the worst of the June 2020 hailstorm. Capped composite and PVC boards handle hail far better than painted or stained wood.
Clear, fixed pricing
You get a fixed written estimate after the consultation, and you pay nothing until the deck is finished and you are happy with it.
Permits
Deck Permits in Franklin
Franklin 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.

No. Serenity Decks does not take a deposit. You pay when the deck is finished and you are happy with it.
Usually. Franklin is in the City of Calgary, which requires a building permit for covered decks and for uncovered decks more than 0.6 m (2 ft) above grade at any point. We prepare and submit the application for you.
Most decks take 2 to 5 days once we start. Permits and weather affect the overall timeline, and you get a clear schedule with your estimate.
