Milton's newer neighbourhoods — Hawthorne Village, Ford, Cobban, Boyne — are full of brand-new houses with builder-basic backyards: a patio stone or two and a lot of sod. A properly built deck is usually the first project that turns that yard into usable space.
We design and build custom decks across Milton in pressure-treated wood and composite: ground-level platforms, raised decks with stairs and railings for walk-out grades, and multi-level layouts that handle the sloped lots common in newer subdivisions.
New-build backyards come with quirks we plan around — strict lot grading and drainage plans you can't disturb, shallow utility runs, and small side yards for material access. We handle the building permit with the Town of Milton where one is required (generally any deck more than 24 inches above grade), so the process stays simple for you.
We build on new-build lots constantly: grading plans respected, utility locates done, and access managed through tight side yards.
Drawings and the Town of Milton permit application are part of the job for decks that need one — you don't chase paperwork.
Fixed quotes for pressure-treated and composite options side by side, so you can compare the 10-year cost honestly.
Footings below the frost line, Ontario Building Code compliant framing, and a 3-year workmanship warranty.
Common questions from Milton homeowners.
As a guide: pressure-treated decks typically run $45–$70 per square foot built, and composite decks $75–$110 per square foot, depending on height, stairs, and railing choices. A typical 12×16 raised deck in pressure-treated lands around $12,000–$18,000; the same deck in composite roughly $18,000–$28,000. Free on-site design consultations come with fixed quotes.
Generally yes if the deck is attached to the house or more than 24 inches (600 mm) above grade — which covers most walk-out and raised decks in Milton's newer neighbourhoods. We prepare the drawings and submit the permit application as part of the project.
Yes — this is most of what we do in Milton. Lot grading and drainage plans on new builds are enforced, so we design footing layouts that respect swales and drainage patterns, and we restore grade after construction. Disturbing the grading plan can void builder warranties, so it's worth using a crew that plans for it.
Pressure-treated costs roughly 40% less up front but needs staining every 2–3 years and typically looks tired by year 10–15. Composite costs more initially, needs only washing, and keeps its look for 25+ years. If you plan to stay in the house, composite usually wins on 10-year cost; if you're optimizing resale value on a budget, pressure-treated is the sensible choice.
