Southwest Calgary has some of the most varied housing in the city, and decks to match. Serenity Decks builds composite and PVC decks across the quadrant, from compact inner-city decks to large raised decks on the west side.
The southwest runs from inner-city communities like Altadore, Marda Loop, Killarney and Knob Hill, out to the west-side hills of Signal Hill, Aspen Woods, West Springs and Springbank Hill, and south through Haysboro, Woodbine and Evergreen to Silverado.
In the inner city, the job is fitting a good deck onto a narrow lot. On the west side, it is building safely at height on a walkout and keeping the view. In the established south, it is replacing a deck that has had its day. We do all three every season.
Local Conditions
What Decks in Southwest Calgary Need
Inner-city infill decks
Narrow lots need careful planning for setbacks and privacy. We check the City's rules and build screens where they help.
West-side walkouts
Raised decks on sloped lots are designed for the height, with glass or aluminum railing and proper stairs to the yard.
Established-area replacements
We replace aging wood decks in composite or PVC, so the yearly sanding and staining ends.

What a positive experience to work with this team. Not only was Wes quick to respond, he was helpful, attentive to details and quick to follow up on feedback or work to be addressed.
All of them, including Altadore, Marda Loop, Killarney, Knob Hill, Rosscarrock, Signal Hill, Aspen Woods, West Springs, Springbank Hill, Haysboro, Woodbine, Evergreen and Silverado.
Yes. We build compact decks for narrow inner-city lots and large raised and multi-level decks for walkout homes on the west side.
Usually. Southwest Calgary 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.
