FAQs — Decks (North Bay)
Do I need a permit?
Often – depends on height/size and attachment. We handle permits and inspections when required.
Helical piles or concrete footings?
Both are great. Helicals are fast and clean; concrete is classic. We’ll recommend the best fit for your soil, access, and load.
Can you attach to my house safely?
Yes – proper ledger board, fasteners, and lateral-load ties to protect the structure and keep water out.
What railing heights and spacings do you use?
We build to current code for guard height and infill spacing – safe for kids and pets.
Can I add a hot tub?
Yes. We’ll design for the load (water + people), add posts/beams as needed, and plan electrical with a licensed electrician.
Do you build in winter?
Sometimes – weather and frost depth dictate timing. Helical piles can extend the season.
Can I supply materials?
Yes. We’ll install client-supplied or provide options.
What’s your warranty?
2-year labour warranty on workmanship; materials follow manufacturer warranties.
Are you insured and WSIB registered?
Yes—fully insured and WSIB registered.
