A well-designed deck is the foundation of the quintessential BC lifestyle. It’s where we drink our morning coffee, host family BBQs, and enjoy the long summer evenings. However, a deck in the Lower Mainland has a lot to contend with, from heavy rainfall to intense summer UV rays. At Onsite, we specialize in composite and wood deck installation, providing homeowners in Surrey and Vancouver with durable, beautiful platforms that expand their living space and increase their property value.
Choosing the right material is the first step in your deck-building journey. We work with a variety of options to suit your aesthetic preferences, maintenance goals, and budget.
For many, nothing beats the look and feel of a real wood deck. We primarily work with Western Red Cedar, a local favorite known for its natural resistance to rot and insects. A cedar deck installation in Surrey provides a warm, classic look that smells incredible and feels great underfoot. Wood decks do require regular staining or sealing to keep them protected from the moisture, but with proper care, they can last for many years and develop a beautiful silver patina or maintain a rich, red glow.
If you would rather spend your weekends enjoying your deck than staining it, composite deck installation Vancouver is the perfect choice. Made from a blend of recycled wood fibers and plastic, composite boards (like Trex or TimberTech) are virtually maintenance-free. They don’t splinter, rot, or warp, and they come in a vast array of colors that never need painting. While the initial investment is higher than wood, the long-term savings in time and maintenance materials make it a very popular option for busy BC families.
The most important part of your deck is the part you can’t see – the frame. At Onsite, we ensure your deck is built on a rock-solid foundation:
