Okotoks has some of the most detailed deck rules in the Calgary area, right down to foundation depth and what kind of piles you can use. Serenity builds composite and PVC decks here to the Town's current guidelines, with the paperwork handled for you.
Okotoks, AB
Okotoks takes its name from the Blackfoot word for rock, after the Big Rock glacial erratic west of town, and it has grown quickly over the past two decades. Its neighbourhoods range from older areas along the Sheep River to newer communities like Drake Landing, home to the solar community built in 2007.
Family backyards are the common thread, and the decks we build here are usually about outdoor living: a main deck off the kitchen, stairs down to the yard, and often a second level or privacy screen.
Permits
Deck building permits in Okotoks are handled by the Town's Safety Codes team, with Planning Services handling development permits. The Town's 2025 Deck Guidelines are more specific than most. Here are the points that most often affect a design.
Source: Town of Okotoks, Deck Guidelines (2025). Rules change, so we confirm them for every project.
Local Conditions
Okotoks spells out a 1.22 m foundation depth and specific requirements for screw piles. We build to it, which protects the deck from frost heave and keeps inspections smooth.
The Sheep River runs through town and flooded it in 1995, 2005 and 2013. Overland drainage routes are protected, so we check your lot for them before we design.
Okotoks sits closer to the foothills than Calgary, and National Building Code snow data for the area is taken from the nearest listed station at High River, which carries a higher design snow load than Calgary.
Neighbourhoods
We build across Okotoks, in established areas and newer communities alike.

Finding a reliable contractor is like finding a good mechanic. Serenity lived up to their recommendation. I am happy to have worked with Wes and his crew.
Wes and his crew built me a composite deck, they were very professional and efficient. Super impressed and happy with their work.
Wes and his team put in long days to complete my deck in a timely manner and inclement weather. The deck looks great, love the product they used and especially the access door for storage. Friendly, professional and skilled.
They built my deck in 3 days and it looks amazing! Great team! Thanks, Wes!
Serenity Construction has done Decks, Pergolas and fence for different landscaping projects for us. Wes and his crew always did an excellent job within the timeframe and cost as it had been promised. Wes is knowledgeable, detail oriented and he is great to work with.
Amazingly fast, on time and definitely hard working. Able to more than meet my unique needs with limited access in an older property and with site issues. Costs were super affordable. Highly recommend. A++++
