"How to Build a Deck?"

Understanding Permit Requirements in Toronto and Mississauga.

Before diving into your deck-building project, it’s crucial to figure out if you need a building permit. In Toronto and Mississauga, permits are typically necessary if your deck:

 

  • Stands more than 60 cm (about 24 inches) above the ground.

  • Is directly attached to your house.

  • Acts as the main entrance to any part of the house, regardless of height.

Securing a permit is key to ensuring your deck is built to meet strict safety and structural standards, safeguarding everyone who uses it, enhancing its durability, and maintaining your property’s value.

The Significance of Acquiring a Permit

Obtaining a permit is essential for:

 

  • Safety Assurance: Verifies that your deck’s construction is safe, minimizing the risk of structural failures or accidents.

  • Legal Compliance: Ensures your deck adheres to local zoning laws and building codes, preventing legal issues.

  • Investment Protection: Building a code-compliant deck can add significant value to your home and avoid costly future modifications.

Estimating the Cost of Your Deck.

The cost to build a deck in Toronto and Mississauga varies widely based on the choice of materials, the deck’s dimensions, and additional features like railings. Here’s a general cost breakdown by material, indicating starting prices and noting potential increases based on project specifics:

 

  • Pressure-Treated Wood: Starting at $25-$35 per square foot and up, depending on design complexities and size.

  • Cedar Wood: Approximately $30-$40 per square foot and up, influenced by your project's specific requirements.

  • Composite Materials: Around $40-$50 per square foot and up, with final costs varying based on selections and project scope.

For instance, a basic 10x12 foot deck made from pressure-treated wood might cost from $3,000 to $4,200 and up, while opting for composite materials could raise the starting price to between $4,800 and $6,000 and up.

Influencing Your Deck's Design and Cost.

Choices in railings and materials significantly impact the aesthetic, safety, and overall cost of your deck. Railings, crucial for elevated decks, and the selection of materials affect the upfront cost and the maintenance needs over time.

Disclaimer on Calculator Accuracy

Please be advised that the cost calculators provided on our website are designed for preliminary estimation purposes only. Due to the unique nature of construction and renovation projects, these calculators may not always provide precise cost estimations. Factors such as the complexity of the job, specific materials used, and unforeseen site conditions can significantly affect the final cost.

For instance, framing jobs for high ceilings are inherently more complex and resource-intensive than framing standard 8-foot tall basement walls. As such, they can incur higher costs. To ensure the most accurate and tailored cost estimate for your project, we strongly recommend scheduling a site visit. Our experts will evaluate the specific requirements and conditions of your project site to provide a detailed and accurate quote.

By using our calculators, you acknowledge and agree that the estimates provided are non-binding and may vary from the actual costs.
