Are you tired of decks that need constant maintenance or have an outdated appearance? If you do, you are in the right place! We build custom contemporary decks that blend your home with your outdoor area with a modern touch. An outdoor deck that lasts, complies with city permits, and feels like a true extension of your home, we build modern decks in Toronto that combine weatherproof materials, smart zoning, and clean design.
It’s time to reconsider what a deck can be if your backyard seems like an afterthought or, worse, like it clashes with the architecture of your house. Modern decking is more than just an accessory. Uncluttered, purposeful, and designed to blend in with your everyday routine, it is an extension of your living area. There are no visual distractions, just natural transitions, truthful materials, and layouts that lead you from dinner under string lights to morning coffee with a view.
The majority of lots in Toronto are not expansive estates. They are tucked away between neighbors, sloped, or cramped. In fact, that is a benefit when building a modern deck. Installing a contemporary deck is that modern design thrives on limitations.
A contemporary deck is only successful if it is designed for the location, and Toronto isn’t an ordinary city. Our winters are constantly freezing and thawing. Our lots are either steeply sloping, too small, or shaded by houses from the older century. Additionally, our building department calls for detailed plans that are ready for paperwork. Knowing these factors, we implement Toronto’s realities into every modern deck design right from the beginning: frost-proof foundations, materials that won’t bend in the snow, and layouts that combine light and privacy without getting overboard. This is a modern design that holds up, not just an elegant one.
From pressure-treated backyard platforms in Scarborough to Ipe hardwood terraces in Rosedale and Western red cedar retreats close to High Park, we have installed every type of modern deck in Toronto. We make better decisions when building a modern deck by understanding how conventional materials behave over time, how cedar weathers, how Ipe expands in hot summers, and how pressure-treated lumber settles. We build contemporary decks as they are better suited to today’s homes’ low maintenance requirements, durability, and clean lines.
Being a full-service deck contractor, we manage each stage of the project, including custom design, engineered drawings, submitting permits to the Toronto Building Department, and expert installation by our licensed team. Whether you’re building a small composite deck off a downtown townhouse or a multi-tier contemporary deck on a ravine lot, we bring the same attention to detail. And because we control the entire process, from concept through deck design and plan to final handrail install, we back all labour with a five-year warranty you can trust.
Exceptionally well, when built right. We use materials rated for Canadian climate zones 5–6, install proper drainage slopes (1/8” per foot), and anchor footings below the 4-foot frost line. Composite won’t crack under ice, aluminum won’t rust, and hidden fasteners.
Absolutely. In fact, contemporary design excels in tight or uneven spaces. We use subtle elevation changes, cantilevers, and strategic zoning to create functional outdoor rooms, even on 15-foot-deep lots or steep ravine-adjacent properties.
Yes, if your deck is more than 24 inches (60 cm) above ground level, Toronto bylaws require a building permit. We handle the entire process: engineered drawings, submission to the Toronto Building Department , and inspection coordination, so you don’t have to.
While often used interchangeably, “modern” typically refers to mid-century design (clean but fixed in style), while “contemporary” reflects current trends, minimalist, fluid, and adaptable. Our contemporary decks prioritize seamless transitions, hidden fasteners, mixed high-performance materials, and integration with your home’s architecture.
