New pressure-treated wood decks should weather for 3–6 months before staining to allow the wood to dry and accept stain properly. After that, we recommend semi-transparent stain for a natural look or solid stain for maximum UV and weather protection. Re-staining every 2–3 years keeps your deck looking great.

Vinyl and composite fences are the most popular for newer suburban homes — they require zero maintenance, won't rot or warp, and come in styles that complement modern architecture. Cedar is the premium wood choice, offering natural beauty with proper annual maintenance. We help you choose based on budget, privacy, and aesthetic preferences.

In Ontario, decks higher than 24 inches (60 cm) above grade or attached to the house typically require a building permit. Most suburban backyard decks fall into this category.
