Custom Deck Design & Construction in Ottawa

Property Owner Services specializes in building high-quality custom decks for homes, cottages, and outdoor living spaces throughout Ottawa and surrounding areas, including Orleans, Kanata, Nepean, Barrhaven, and rural properties.

Whether you’re looking to create a relaxing backyard retreat, an entertainment space, or a practical elevated platform, we design and build decks and fences that are tailored to your property, lifestyle, and budget. Every project is approached with durability, safety, and visual appeal in mind to withstand Ottawa’s harsh winters and humid summers.

Cedar Decks in Ottawa

Cedar decking is a popular choice for Ottawa homeowners who want a natural, high-end look. Cedar is naturally resistant to rot and insects, making it well-suited for outdoor use without chemical treatment. It stays cooler underfoot in summer, is lightweight, and offers a warm, timeless appearance. Regular sealing helps preserve colour and extend lifespan in Ottawa’s changing climate.

Pressure-Treated Decks in Ottawa

Pressure-treated wood decks offer a durable and cost-effective solution for outdoor living spaces. Treated lumber is designed to resist moisture, decay, and ground contact, making it ideal for Ottawa’s freeze–thaw cycles. This option provides strong structural performance at a lower upfront cost and can be stained or painted to match your home.

Composite Decks in Ottawa

Composite decking is a low-maintenance alternative to traditional wood. Made from a blend of recycled materials, composite decks resist fading, warping, and splintering. They require no staining or sealing and perform exceptionally well in Ottawa’s harsh winters and humid summers, making them a long-term, worry-free option.

Deck Foundations & Structural Support in Ottawa

A deck is only as strong as the structure beneath it. Proper foundation preparation helps prevent shifting, settling, and long-term structural issues — especially in Ottawa’s freeze–thaw climate.

Decks may be:

• Attached to the home
• Elevated above grade
• Built at ground level

Depending on height, load requirements, and soil conditions, foundation options may include:

• Concrete footings
• Screw piles (also known as helical piles)
• Engineered structural supports where required

Screw piles provide a stable foundation solution for many elevated and load-bearing decks. They are installed with minimal excavation and are well-suited to Ottawa’s soil conditions.

For larger structural projects, see our ICF foundations and Screw Piles services.

Floating Decks in Ottawa

Floating decks are a practical, flexible option for Ottawa properties where a traditional foundation or full permit may not be required. These ground-level decks are not attached to the home and are supported by deck blocks or shallow footings, making them well-suited for flat yards, patios, and backyard seating areas.

We specialize in modular prefab floating decks, allowing sections to be built off-site or pre-assembled for faster installation and predictable costs. This approach reduces disruption to your property while still delivering a sturdy, visually clean outdoor space.

Floating decks are ideal for seasonal use, future expansion, or properties where homeowners want a high-quality deck without a permanent structural footprint. Modular designs also make it easier to modify or relocate sections as needs change.

• Custom deck design and layout planning
• Pressure-treated, composite, and wood deck construction
