114 Vancouver Deck, Patio and Outdoor Structure Professionals

“A pleasure from start to finish - this team is solid! We recently hired XMT Construction Ltd. to build our back yard deck, including a fire table and outdoor kitchen area. Adam was there to help guide our inspirations, offering practical advice and answering any questions we had along the entire course of the build. He helped us forge the design concepts and make certain we achieved the feel we were hoping for. At the same time XMT was mindful of our budget considerations and clearly communicated what the projected costs were going to be. The whole team was stellar, including XMT's subcontractors for electrical and landscaping, and they were able to respond in nuanced and creative ways as challenges emerged and the project evolved. We are pleased to say that XMT Construction and their associates exceeded our expectations. Not only did they do their best to keep their appointments and arrive when they said they were going to, the quality of build and workmanship was there from start to finish. This team does it right.”

“Alex replaced a porch and stairs on my 60s house. He explained what he needed to do, gave me a detailed estimate, began the job exactly when he said he would, and worked on it every day until it was completed. He takes justifiable pride in his his work, uses quality materials, follows the Building Code. He has great design ideas and produces a fine product built to last. His is by far the best carpentry my house has ever seen. He is pleasant and reliable. I feel fortunate to have taken my neighbor's recommendation, and pass on my own recommendation. Thanks, Alex. So nice to do business with a real craftsman.”

“We are very pleased with the restoration project completed by Citywide Sundecks and Railings during the summer of 2015. The beautiful new sundeck was rebuilt in a very professional manner and the installed aluminum railings were a real upgrade on our original wooden ones. We are so glad that we contracted CWS as they were terrific to deal with and they provided quality work from start to finish. Bruce & Loreen S. – Richmond”

“Mitch built us a beautiful new deck after demolishing and removing the old rotting deck. His craftsmanship is impeccable and his attention to detail was much appreciated. He completed the job on time and on budget. He kept our property very clean during construction. Mitch really listened to our needs and concerns and was very pleasant and easy to work with. We are so happy with our wonderful new deck. We will be hiring Mitch for our future projects. We highly recommend him and know you will be well pleased with his work.”

“Very professional, excellent skill, knowledge and creativity along with very fair pricing. I would strongly recommend them to friends and family.”

“Cedar Coast Fence has been a loyal customer and frequent regular here at the CBR factory. We have recommended Nick many times to our customers who are in need of a quality craftsman to apply our Low VOC Deck stain. His projects serve as monuments of inspiration for generations to come. Thank you Cedar Coast Fence, we look forward to working on many more quality projects with you and your team.”

“If you’re looking for a top sundeck company in the lower mainland and this is the first one you’re vetting, then count yourself lucky. We’ll never get back the hours we spent meeting with other Vancouver deck experts to quote on our Burnaby project, but we hope we’ll be able to save you the same trouble. Celsky Vinyl Sundecks & Railings was definitely the right choice for us. When my husband and I took the home ownership plunge with a fixer-upper (can you get anything else with these prices??), we knew it wouldn’t be easy. After nearly drowning in all the frustrations that come with major renovation, and vowing never to deal with another contractor again, we stepped out onto our patio to enjoy the summer and felt the heart-dropping telltale crunch of rotting wood beneath our feet. After a deep breath, we steeled ourselves for Round 2: Outdoor Match. Imagine our surprise when we found ourselves relaxed after just the preliminaries! We had a feeling we were dealing with the right company when Jim showed up to diagnose our aging deck. Clearly experienced, he educated us on what the problems were and offered practical deck repair solutions. He expertly worked within our limited budget and demanding timeline and with that, set the momentum for the rest of Project Patio. When Ken pulled into our driveway on Day 1 and delayed the initial pleasantries by getting straight to work, we knew the man meant business. For the next week, his team impressed us with their commendable work ethic and efficiency. If they took breaks, it must’ve been when I blinked! To our dismay, a painstaking operation of fibreglass removal exposed many pockets of additional deck rot that had been hidden by the original surface. This is when Ken’s attention to detail won us over. He could have very easily masked trouble areas without addressing them and we wouldn’t have been the wiser. Instead, he delivered on his promise to repair our decks as if they were his own, showing us and explaining his process along the way (with a shared library of progress photos, no less!). Needless to say, waterproofing our decks is now of paramount importance. Though we found Celsky’s Tufdek product very appealing, we opted for a liquid membrane application that leaves a seamless polyurethane deck coating of MasterSeal (formerly Sonoguard Base Coat) which we were happy to learn can bear even car traffic. When you see a deck contractor clearly proud of his own craft, you know you’re in capable hands. That’s why when Ken recommended we replace our equally aging and structurally unsound stairs, we didn’t hesitate to move forward with the added job. Now we have treated wood stairs built with 3 stringers instead of 2 and properly supported by sturdy legs that Ken playfully encourages us to bounce on. Though unexpected, the additional cost associated with the repair of hidden deck rot and a new set of steps was very reasonable and didn’t break the bank. Thank you Ken & Co., for beautifully installing our new fascia-mounted black aluminum railings (which look fabulous against our matching new deck flashings!), and building us the much safer stairs that lead up to the amazing sundecks to which you have breathed new life. We also greatly appreciate all the advice and recommendations for work we have yet to complete around the house. If only you did interiors, roofs, landscaping…everything really. Let us know when you diversify! ;o)”

“As a part of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders' Association (GVHBA) for over a year, we are delighted to have Duradek as a member. Being a GVHBA members means that they have been reviewed by our Board of Directors, subjected to a bank check, and they have agreed to abide by the GVHBA Code of Ethics. With over 40 years in business, we are excited for what is to come for Duradek.”

“I ordered a steel workshop kit from Easy Build, they were quick about getting back to me and adjusted plans to suite my needs. Once the foundation was poured I had them come over and do the assembly and in seven days the shop was complete. Price and time was as quoted, would use them again.”

“Very pleased with my new larger epoxy stone patio. Have recommended this company to approx. 10 friends and neighbours. The owner Wes is friendly, listens to his customers, does excellent work and is reasonably priced. 6 neighbours and friends are all happy with the work this company has done for them.”
