The best deck builders in Edmonton are quick with no quality compromises!

Credentials and Licenses. We made sure that all deck builders we recommend have completed pre-apprenticeship training from renowned institutions like the Alberta Construction Training Institute (ACTI).

Additionally, the companies should have a contractor's license from the Alberta government.

Ideally, the deck builders should have had several years of experience already, but we’re not too strict about this. We know that sometimes, builders already have a credible reputation even if they’re still new to the industry.

Bonding and Insurance. For the safety of everyone (both the workers and the homeowners), we also ensured that the deck construction is bonded and has property damage insurance. We contacted every builder and asked them for their insurance certificates.

Work Ethic. We also gauged how the builders worked. Are they efficient? What is the planning process like? How fast does it go from the planning stage to the actual deck building?

We also interviewed former clients to gather more insight.

Pricing. We prefer deck builders with rates under C$100 per square foot. If they offer free quotes and allow flexible pricing to get the client to negotiate the rate, the deck builder gets bonus points from us.

My wife convinced me to have a deck built in our backyard, and though at first, I was hesitant, I’m now thankful that I eventually agreed. Having a deck vastly improved the whole family’s outdoor enjoyment!

The deck is where I go to have my morning coffee (when I’m not at my fave cafes), and it’s a peaceful time I look forward to. When we have guests over, the deck becomes an impromptu BBQ spot where I grill burgers or steaks for everyone. 

Thinking about adding a deck to your house as well? Here are some of the best deck builders in Edmonton!

How much does a deck builder cost in Edmonton?

The cost of building a deck in Edmonton usually ranges from C$40 to C$100 per square foot. Several factors affect the final price, such as the materials you choose (the more premium, the more expensive), the cost of labour, and the size of the deck.

Operating since 1979, Ideal Sundecks is best known for its sunrooms and solariums, but I also heard that they do decks. I went with them, thanks to my friends’ recommendation, and I was glad I did.

When I reached out to them, they were quick to give me a free estimate based on the design I provided. The estimate was also reasonable, and an agent named Paul broke down all the costs (e.g., permits and materials) in a clear manner. 

The design process was a highlight as well. Paul was amazing to work with; he listened to my ideas and gave many suggestions. He translated my vision into a detailed design plan that exceeded my expectations. 

I didn’t have to worry much when it was time for construction. The team kept me up-to-date with every step, and they also finished fast, way ahead of schedule! 

This company offers a five-year warranty for their decks as well! It covers everything, so if there’s ever a problem, they’ll fix it.

My experience was great overall, but some clients told me they suffered some communication issues. One told me that he waited for more than a month to hear back from the builders or even receive a quote from them. 

Pros

  • Wide array of services
  • Free estimates
  • Reasonable prices
  • Amazing to work with
  • Efficient team
  • Warranty available

Cons

  • Sometimes slow to respond

Customer Reviews

Polite and mindful staff

We had a roof put on our deck 10 years ago and have now added a window/door wall to one end of our deck and are so happy with the product and the service. The company and their staff were polite and when they said the job would be done it was. They cleaned up everything and made sure that we were happy with them. I would recommend them to anybody looking for sunrooms/roofs. Thanks very much.”

Pleasure to work with

Paul (the owner) and his team were a pleasure to work with. The sunroom is a great addition to our home and has made the deck a very usable and enjoyable space, both in summer and in winter. They made every effort to maximize use of large windows and were meticulous in every part of the installation. We highly recommend Ideal Sundecks for your sunroom needs.

What people like most about Prime Deck and Fence Services Ltd. is the fact that they offer many options to clients. 

Firstly, for the deck itself, you can choose between treated wood (a classic wood look) and composite (synthetic materials that mimic the look of wood) for your materials. Then, you can opt to add extra features like pergolas, privacy screens, and more! 

Another reason why people love this company is the top-notch craftsmanship. The builders were meticulous with their work, so the deck and the fences look neat. 

Plus, they were respectful of the space. When the builders were done with the construction, they made sure to clean the work area. Clients greatly appreciated that.

Not sure if you can afford their services? You can call them to get a free estimate ahead of time.

That said, some clients complained about the lack of communication. One told me that he waited for several hours on the day of their supposed meeting, but no one from the company reached out to let him know about the change of plans.

Pros

  • Many deck customization options
  • Top-notch craftsmanship
  • Respectful team
  • Free estimates

Cons

  • Sometimes doesn’t inform clients about change of plans

Customer Reviews

Quick and professional

We love the composite deck and front steps that Ari and his team built for us! They were quick and professional and kept us updated. I would highly recommend this company.”

Exceptional workmanship

Ari and his team replaced our back fence and deck this summer. We back onto a major road so opted for an 8 foot fence and our deck is over a walkout basement. Ari took care of all the permits, engineer drawings and made the project so easy on our end. We hit a few snags along the way but Ari was great at keeping us informed each step along the way. The workmanship is exceptional as well. We are beyond happy with our project and have a product we are proud to show off. We highly recommend Prime deck and fence to anyone looking for a quality job!

If you want to customize the heck out of your deck, then Deck Daddy Edmonton is the best builder for you. Seriously, this company has done all sorts of designs—from simple classic decks to floating decks! 

You can even add more features to your deck. I know some have pergolas in theirs, while others have custom lighting and privacy walls. 

Clients also have great things to say about the team here. Some of them shared that the team was flexible and patient with them. They made some requests, and the builders complied. 

This company also offers a warranty for both the materials and the labour. Once that warranty expires after two years, you can still reach out to them if your deck gets damaged. They can repair it for you! 

That said, I’ve heard that their prices can be on the higher side. Fortunately, you can ask for a free quote ahead of time, and if you can’t afford to pay the full amount, they offer a financing program. 

Pros

  • Creative deck designs
  • Flexible and patient team
  • Warranty available
  • Repair services available
  • Free quotes
  • Financing available

Cons

  • Expensive

The first thing clients like about BlueMaple Construction Ltd. is that it’s a referral-based business. In other words, they have a professional working relationship with local businesses such as Everything Exterior, LBH Timber Mart, and Home Depot. 

People also love how fast they get free quotes from the team. And once they chose to go ahead with the service, the team showed great communication. They answered questions and explained every option available. 

The team here is also well-organized, which is why the construction process runs smoothly and finishes on time. They’re transparent as well, always leaving updates, including any issues the team has encountered.

This company has a quality guarantee on their workmanship and labour, so you can get free repairs when you notice slight damage to your deck. They also have a 25-year minimum guarantee on the materials used!

The only downside is the pricing. Projects here usually cost somewhere between C$10,000 and a whopping C$300,000, which is a pretty expensive ballpark. 

Pros

  • Referral-based business
  • Free quotes
  • Great communication
  • Well-organized and transparent team
  • Quality guarantee on their workmanship, labour, and materials

Cons

  • Expensive 

Customer Reviews

We are sooooo very pleased with our new deck!!!! Chris and the Blue Maple Construction team were AMAZING!! From the get go, they were professional, friendly, knowledgeable and extremely conscientious! The Blue Maple team were very QUALITY driven, taking their time, with no compromise! My wife and I would definitely recommend Chris and the Blue Maple Construction company!

Cannot be happier with our experience with Chris and his crew at Blue Maple! What we thought would be a nightmare of a deck rebuild was a breeze! Chris was quick to come quote and discuss our project. Communication was great and he answered all our questions about all our different options. When build time came the most hard working and respectful crew I’ve seen in a long time showed up! We couldn’t be happier with the construction of our new deck! Highly recommend Blue Maple!.”

ATEK Fence and Deck’s quickness to respond is one of the first things that clients love about them. One told me that of all the builders she contacted, ATEK was the only one who answered the call right away and even gave an estimate on the same day!

Clients also liked the various customization options available. On the one hand, you can choose composite, wood, or pressure-treated lumber for your deck, and then you can also add features like a pergola, fencing, or railing to complete the look. 

Since this is a family-run business, the team’s approach is personal; planning the design feels like chatting with a friend. One client also appreciated that they never pressured her to make decisions. They let her take the time to deliberate her options.

The team works super fast, too—usually completing projects in two days. Sometimes, they can even finish building a deck in just a day, as one client told me. He said that they started at 8 am, and they finished by 6 pm that day. 

ATEK is a pretty small business, so there might be a chance your request falls through the cracks. One client complained that the company actually forgot about his project, and they hesitated to continue because he was based in Leduc, not Edmonton.

Pros

  • Quick to respond
  • Free estimate
  • Various customization options
  • Personal approach
  • Super fast team

Cons

  • Sometimes too busy, so some projects are forgotten

Customer Reviews

Fast service, punctual and efficient team

Jas and his team did a really great job building our fences and deck. They are very professional, punctual, efficient, knowledgeable, reliable, friendly and most of all, they are very hard working. They finished all the jobs in two days. We are very pleased with our new deck and fences. I had called several companies prior to calling Atek Fence and Deck company, left messages but nobody replied. Atek company was the only one that picked up the phone right away and came to give me estimate on the same day. And they came to build the fences and deck as the date promised. We would recommend Atek, Jas and his team to anyone that are looking to have professionally built fences and deck. Thanks again to Jas and his team. You guys did an excellent job of removing our old fences and deck and rebuilt them. The fences now felt secured to the ground and very soild.We are enjoying every minute of it.

Best quotes

Jazz and his team did an amazing job of our new decking, we are delighted with his workmanship! On the day of construction Jazz and his team arrived at 8am and completed a 12 x 24 ft deck by 6pm that evening, they also cleaned up the work site afterwards we were very impressed, after the measurements were taken it was only a few days before the glass handrails and privacy screens were also fitted! And the finished result looks outstanding, it has exceeded our expectations! I would highly recommend Jazz at Atek fence and deck. We also got a few quotes and Jazz quote was far by the best.”
