The cost of building a deck in Calgary can vary significantly based on several factors such as the size of the deck, materials used, design complexity, and any additional features like built-in seating or lighting. Generally, deck construction can range from moderate to high costs. For a more accurate estimate tailored to your specific needs and preferences, it’s best to contact Project Landscape directly.

A professionally built deck in Calgary can significantly enhance the value of your house. Not only does it increase the aesthetic appeal and functional outdoor space, but it also adds to the overall marketability of your property. A well-designed and constructed deck serves as an attractive feature for potential buyers, potentially increasing your home’s resale value. Moreover, a deck built by a reputable company like Project Landscape ensures quality and durability, which are key factors in adding long-term value to your property.

You’ll definitely need a Building Permit if your deck is going to be more than 0.6 meters (around two feet) above the ground at any spot. Also, if you’re planning a covered deck – like an enclosed sundeck, one with open rafters, or a gazebo – it’s considered an addition to your home. In these cases, you might also need a Development Permit. So, it’s a good idea to check in on these details before you start building.

The cost to build a new deck varies from $21.0 to $71.0 per square foot. A standard 12′ x 4′ deck cost from $3,528 to $11,928. Of course, you have also to consider current decking prices and the complexity of work that directly affects labor cost.

Pressure-treated wood is generally the most affordable lumber option, while premium varieties like redwood and composite decking (made of recycled plastics and wood byproducts) can be more expensive.

On average, the projects we undertake are usually completed within a span of two weeks, right from when we start to the finished result. This timeline covers most standard projects, ensuring a swift yet thorough process. However, it’s important to note that larger or more complex projects might extend up to four weeks. The duration for these larger projects largely depends on a variety of factors, such as the scope of the work, the specific requirements of the project, and the number of tradespeople involved in bringing it all together. Our team works efficiently to manage these variables, aiming to deliver high-quality results while respecting the projected time frame. We always strive to keep you informed at every stage of the process, ensuring transparency and open communication throughout your project’s journey.
