Decks for Thorncliffe's Established Streets

Thorncliffe sits north of McKnight Boulevard and straddles Centre Street, so its addresses fall in both the northwest and the northeast. Most of it was built in the 1950s and 1960s, and Nose Hill Park is a short drive to the west.

Homes of that age have usually had at least one deck already, and many of those are now past repair. We take the old one away and build a deck that will not need sanding, staining or board replacement every few years.

Local Conditions

What Decks in Thorncliffe Need

Bungalow-height decks

Most Thorncliffe bungalows suit a low or mid-height deck with a few steps to the yard. We confirm whether your design needs a building permit.

Checking what is behind the old deck

When an old deck comes off, we inspect the ledger area and house wall and deal with any problems before the new deck goes on.

Hail and sun

North Calgary has taken its share of hail. Capped composite and PVC boards stand up to it far better than stained wood.

Wes and team came out in January and gave a quote, they then were able to come mid April and complete it. Communication and expectation setting was great, materials used are awesome and they cleaned up the site nicely too. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Very happy with Wes and his team! There was one minor miscommunication, which we realized as they were building our deck that the boards were the wrong color. They resolved this quickly without hesitation and still had our deck built within 2 days. Highly recommend and would definitely use them again!

FAQ

Thorncliffe Deck Questions

Both. Thorncliffe straddles Centre Street, which divides Calgary's east and west quadrants, so some addresses are NW and some are NE. We build on both sides.
Soft or cracked boards, a loose railing, rot where the deck meets the house and posts that have shifted are the main signs. Wes will look at it during the free consultation and tell you whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
Usually. Thorncliffe 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.
