Decks
We are Muskoka’s premium deck builder specializing in luxury quality premium decks.
Whether you’re looking to replace an existing deck or you’re dreaming of a custom designed luxury deck, we have the experience and the expertise to exceed your expectations.
We use only premium quality materials for our deck projects.
Premium low maintenance decking
Most entry level wood decks use 5/4” x 6” pressure treated deck boards due to their low cost. However, these boards are prone to warp, crack, split, and rot prematurely, requiring you to replace the deck surface after only 10 – 15 years at considerable expense.
We believe that you shouldn’t compromise on durability, quality, or longevity while working within your budget.
That is why our decks are built using 2 x 6 pressure treated lumber are also pretreated on all four sides with a premium exterior wood protectant providing industry leading protection for your wood decking. We also utilize mineral based composites, PVC, fiberglass reinforced HDPE deck boards and luxurious and long lasting hardwood decking.
When paired with our optional Healthy Deck maintenance plan you can enjoy your wood deck for decades without having to maintain the deck yourself!
We install deck boards using an industry leading hidden fastening system so that whether you choose wood or low-maintenance composite or PVC for your deck your new deck surface will be free from unsightly screw heads.
All of our decks come standard with lighting in the stairs for improved night time safety, but we also love the warmth and beauty that a full, custom designed, lighting package adds to your deck and surrounding landscape.
Whether you want to extend the functionality of your new deck by adding a pergola to enjoy some shade, a relaxing wood or gas fireplace for ambiance, a covered and screened in Muskoka room for bug-free lounging with friends, or an outdoor kitchen cherished moments with family, let our experienced team of craftsmen make your dream outdoor space…
Built for Life.
DOcks
Dock surfaces are exposed to harsh conditions including extreme UV exposure, driving rain, heavy snow, and damaging lake ice.
We can remove your existing dock surface and reinstall a pre-sealed wood surface with such options as pressure treated Spruce, cedar, heat treated hardwood, or exotic hardwoods such as Ipe. By installing a pre-treated wood surface on your dock you are eligible to enroll in our Healthy Decks maintenance program which allows you to enjoy the natural beauty of a wood dock surface, without having to worry about the headache of annual maintenance
To enjoy the ultimate low-maintenance dock surface we can install HDPE decking reinforced with fiberglass, or mineral based composite boards
We can also install a wide variety of accessories to improve the functionality and the safety of your new dock surface such boat bumpers, tie-off cleats, and swim ladders
We can transform your tired or unsafe dock surface into a usable space that will be… Built For Life!

We offer a variety of railing solutions that will provide the safety and peace of mind you need, while enhancing the beauty of your outdoor space

Maintenance plans
We know that our Muskoka seasons can be hard on our decks, railings, and dock surfaces causing: mildew, mold, fading, splitting, cracking, and splintering of wood decks and docks.
In order to maintain the structural stability, safety, and aesthetics of pressure treated decking, the lumber manufacturer recommends an annual maintenance regimen of washing and sealing with a premium wood protectant. Most of our valued customers do not relish the hassle, mess, and inconvenience of undertaking the task of annual deck maintenance, and so it is often neglected, reducing the lifespan of the deck or dock. We can help!
In order to better serve our customers we offer our Healthy Deck maintenance program. In our Healthy Deck program we offer refreshing (for older, weathered surfaces), cleaning, and protecting for wood decks and dock surfaces. Our program is available as a stand alone service, or as an annual subscription service (best value).
The first step toward a Healthy Deck is our comprehensive deck inspection where we perform an exhaustive Health Check (an inspection performed by one of our NADRA certified deck inspectors) of your deck, railing, or dock surface and then provide you with a physical, or digital report outlining our findings on the health of your deck, including recommendations on steps that can be taken to improve your deck’s Health Rating.
Once the Health Check is complete you can choose from the following options depending on the age and health of your deck/dock:
1. Clean Only
A thorough cleaning of the deck, or dock, surface using our commercial deck scrubber, NOT a pressure washer, which effectively cleans the surface without damaging the wood.
2. Revive & Clean
Faded and/or weathered wood is refreshed using a premium wood reviving product to prepare the weathered surface for the protectant, followed by a thorough cleaning.
3. Clean & Protect
Thoroughly clean the deck/dock surface and apply the Cutek Extreme premium wood stabilizer and protectant.
4. Clean, Revive, Protect
The full works to guarantee your deck, dock or surface is completely cared for and protected.
Your deck or dock is likely one of your favorite places to spend time with friends and family, and it represents a significant financial investment as well. Why not book a call with us today and find out how we can help ensure that it can remain… Built for Life?
