Wood Deck Installation

The Natural Beauty of Wood Decking

Nothing beats the warm, authentic look of real wood. Wood decks have been the gold standard for outdoor living spaces for generations, and for good reason. The natural grain, rich colors, and solid feel of wood create an inviting space that welcomes family and friends. We install quality wood decks throughout Ontario, CA using materials that are built to handle our California climate.

Wood decking gives you options that manufactured materials can't match. You can stain it any color you want, change that color later if you feel like it, and enjoy the way wood ages naturally over time. Yes, wood requires more maintenance than composite, but many homeowners love that hands-on connection with their outdoor space. Plus, wood decks often cost less upfront, making them budget-friendly for families who want quality outdoor living without breaking the bank.

Choosing the Right Wood for Your Deck

Not all wood is created equal. We work with several wood types, each with its own benefits:

• Pressure-treated pine - Most affordable option, treated to resist rot and insects, needs regular staining
• Cedar - Naturally resistant to rot, beautiful reddish color, aromatic, mid-range price
• Redwood - Premium California wood, exceptional durability, stunning natural color, higher cost
• Tropical hardwoods - Extremely dense and durable, exotic appearance, premium price point

We'll help you choose the right wood based on your budget, desired look, and willingness to maintain it. Each wood type has different characteristics for color, grain pattern, and how it weathers over time.

Built Right From the Ground Up

A beautiful wood deck starts with solid construction underneath. We build proper foundations with concrete footings that go deep enough to support the structure. Our framing uses the right lumber dimensions and spacing for your deck size and local code requirements. We never cut corners on the structure because that's what keeps your deck safe and level for decades.

When installing the decking boards, we use proper spacing to allow for wood expansion and contraction. This is crucial in Ontario's climate where temperature swings can cause wood to move. We select quality fasteners that won't rust or pop up over time. Every board is carefully placed and secured. The result is a deck that looks great, feels solid underfoot, and will serve your family well for years to come.

Keeping Your Wood Deck Beautiful

Wood decks need regular care to stay in top shape. Plan to clean and reseal your deck every 1-3 years depending on sun exposure and wear. This protects the wood from UV damage and moisture while keeping it looking fresh. We offer professional deck staining and sealing services to make maintenance easy for you.

If you want a deck that requires less upkeep, consider composite decking instead. But if you love the natural feel of wood and don't mind the maintenance, a wood deck gives you unmatched warmth and character. Our Ontario team will build you a wood deck that becomes the heart of your outdoor living space.
