Deck installation

The duration of a deck installation project can vary significantly based on several factors including the size and complexity of the design, the materials used, and weather conditions. Generally, a standard deck installation project could take anywhere from one to three weeks. This timeframe includes all stages of the process - from initial consultation, design approval to construction and final inspection. It's important to note that custom projects or those requiring special materials may require additional time.

However, at Mississauga Decks & Trim, we pride ourselves in maintaining clear communication with our clients throughout the entire project. We understand how important it is for you to have your outdoor space ready for enjoyment as quickly as possible. Therefore, we always strive to complete our projects within the agreed-upon schedule without compromising on quality or safety.

Yes, indeed! We stand behind our workmanship wholeheartedly. In fact, we offer one of the most comprehensive warranties in the business - a 10-year warranty on all our deck installations. This warranty covers any defects in craftsmanship for a decade after your deck has been installed, giving you peace of mind and assurance of quality.

Our commitment doesn't stop there. For added protection and confidence in your investment, any composite or PVC decks come with an additional manufacturer warranty ranging from 25 years to lifetime coverage on decking materials. This dual layer of protection ensures that you'll be able to enjoy your beautiful new outdoor space for many years to come without worry.

At Mississauga Decks & Trim, we pride ourselves on offering a wide range of customization options to ensure that each deck we build is unique and perfectly suited to our clients' needs and preferences. Our customizations fall into two main categories: types of decks and deck features.

I. Types of Decks

    2. Composite Decks: These decks are made from a blend of wood and plastic, offering the beauty of wood with the durability and low maintenance of plastic.

    3. Elevated Decks: Ideal for homes on sloping land or if you want to enjoy views from an elevated position.

    4. Pool Decks: We can design and install a custom deck around your pool area, enhancing safety and aesthetics.

    3. Built-in Seating & Planters: A great way to maximize space while adding functionality to your outdoor area.

    4. Privacy Screens: These are perfect if you're looking for some added privacy in your backyard.

    5. Custom Stairs & Landings: We can design stairs that not only provide access but also add visual interest to your deck.

    6. Outdoor kitchens, fireplaces and fire pits.

III. Deck Materials

    1. Natural Wood: This includes options like cedar and heat-treated ash which are known for their natural beauty but require regular maintenance to keep them looking their best.

    2. Exotic Hardwoods: Options such as Ipe and Garapa offer a more natural appearance with greater density and durability, often lasting up to 75 years before decay sets in.

    3. Composites: Made from a mix of wood fibers and plastic, composite decks are durable, low-maintenance, and available in a variety of colors and textures.

    4. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): PVC decking is entirely synthetic which makes it extremely durable and resistant to rotting or insect damage. It's also available in a variety of colors

    5. Aluminum: A highly durable material that is resistant to weathering, rusting, and rotting. It's lightweight yet sturdy design makes it an excellent choice for modern-looking decks..

The choice of material plays a significant role in the overall look, feel, longevity, and maintenance level of your deck. Our team can guide you through the pros and cons of each option during the consultation phase so you can make an informed decision that aligns with your needs and preferences.

We believe that every homeowner should have an outdoor space that truly reflects their personality and lifestyle, which is why we work closely with our clients throughout the design process to ensure their vision becomes a reality.

The level of maintenance required for your deck largely depends on the material used. Traditional wood decks such as cedar or heat-treated ash require regular staining or sealing to protect against weather damage and prolong their lifespan. However, they offer natural beauty that many homeowners find appealing.

Composite or PVC decks, on the other hand, are more resistant to weather conditions and require less maintenance, making them a popular choice for those who prefer a low-maintenance option. Regular cleaning is usually sufficient to keep these decks looking their best.

We always provide specific care instructions based on the material used in your deck construction. No matter which type of decking material you choose, routine inspections and proper care will ensure that your outdoor living space remains beautiful for years to come.
