Questions homeowners ask

How much does a deck cost in Calgary?

A pressure-treated deck costs $15–$25 per square foot installed in Calgary in 2026; typical full projects run $12,000–$29,000. Our 12×14 Essential build starts at $7,500 including piles, railing and permit.

Why screw piles instead of concrete?

Calgary's expansive clay soil heaves with freeze-thaw. Helical screw piles ($400–$550 each) resist movement far better than shallow concrete pads and install in a day.
