Deck Building FAQ

YKWoodWorking builds all types of residential decks including ground-level decks, elevated multi-level decks, rooftop decks, pool decks, and wraparound decks. We work with Western Red Cedar, pressure-treated lumber, and composite materials like Trex and TimberTech. Each deck is custom designed to fit your backyard layout and lifestyle.
Cedar offers a natural, warm appearance and is naturally resistant to rot and insects. It costs less upfront but requires annual sealing or staining. Composite decking costs more initially but is virtually maintenance-free and retains its color for decades. Cedar is ideal if you prefer a natural wood look, while composite is best for low-maintenance durability. YKWoodWorking can also combine materials for a unique design.
Yes, sloped backyards are one of our specialties. We build elevated and multi-level decks with proper structural support, stairs, and railings to make the most of uneven terrain. A sloped yard often creates opportunities for dramatic designs, such as a high deck with usable storage space underneath.
A well-built and properly maintained cedar deck in Toronto typically lasts 15 to 25 years. Pressure-treated decks can last 20 to 30 years with regular maintenance. Composite decks often come with 25-year warranties. Toronto's freeze-thaw cycles make proper construction and drainage essential for longevity.
