“Greatly satisfied with the experience of working with this team. They were easy to get in touch with, kept me updated throughout the project, and always followed through on what they said they'd do. The finished deck turned out great! Everything looks clean, sturdy, and well-built. It's clear Victor and his crew don't cut corners and put a lot of care into their work. I'd definitely hire the crew again and they'll be 1st in list for whenever anyone needs my recommendation in the future.”

“Victor and team were friendly and professional. They were efficient and economical replacing one full side of panel fencing in two days, including removal and setting new post and building a gate. 10/10 will recommend again!”

“We're very happy with the deck that Victor and his team built. Victor was great to work with and provided several options to accommodate our requests, while making recommendations that improved the structure beyond what we could've imagined.”

“Northern Deck built a landing extension connecting to my existing deck and installed a 15-riser staircase. From the very beginning, Victor was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He provided a detailed quote with two different options, allowing us to make an informed decision based on our needs and budget. Throughout the project, Victor and his associate demonstrated exceptional attention to detail and craftsmanship. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations, and the finished project looks outstanding. I highly recommend Northern Deck to anyone looking for quality deck construction or related work. Victor is reliable, professional, and takes pride in delivering excellent results.”

“We had Victor out to do a trellis for privacy with a raised garden bed, additional raised garden beds around our deck, and some gravel and draining issues addressed. Results look amazing! I don't feel like I'm looking at my neighbours anymore when outside relaxing. Definitely makes us use our backyard more. Great experience working with the Northern Deck company.”

“Honestly can't say enough good things here. From the start they were attentive, responsive and reliable. The quality of what they did on my project was top notch as well! You can tell Victor and the crew take pride in their work. If you need someone you can trust to get the job done right without breaking the bank, you've found it. I'll definitely be using him again.”

Straight answers
Questions? Answered.
The questions every homeowner asks before building — and the honest answers. Anything else on your mind? Ask at your free estimate.
It depends on size, materials, footings and features like railings, stairs and lighting. Rather than guess, we visit, measure and give you a free written quote with an exact price — no pressure and no obligation.
Most standard decks are framed and finished in under a week once construction starts. Larger multi-level builds or custom features take a little longer. We’ll give you a real timeline when we quote.
Many decks in Hamilton need a building permit, depending on height, size and how the deck attaches to the house. We design to Ontario Building Code and will guide you through the process so everything is above board.
Composite costs more up front and stays beautiful with almost no maintenance. Pressure-treated costs less and can be refinished down the road. We build both — we’ll walk you through the trade-offs at your free estimate so you pick what suits your budget and your lifestyle.
Yes — we build year-round, and winter bookings lock in your spot for spring and summer. Booking off-season often means a shorter wait.
Absolutely. Alongside full deck builds, we install fences, aluminum and glass railings, and tackle deck rebuilds and repairs. If it lives in your backyard, we can build it.

Free design & estimate
We measure your yard, listen to how you’ll use it, and price the whole thing in writing. Bring ideas and photos — we’ll bring straight answers.
02
Permits, handled
Most Hamilton decks need a building permit. We prepare the drawings and file them with the city — you don’t lift a finger.
03
Engineered structure
Helical pile footings, corrosion-resistant fasteners and framing built for Ontario’s freeze-thaw winters. The part nobody sees gets the most care.

Any finish you want
Composite, cedar or pressure-treated, built-in lighting, aluminum or glass railings — pick your style and we’ll show you exactly what it’ll look like.
Either way, we’ve got you
New deck or replacement?
Starting from scratch?
Blank yard, awkward grade, or an old lawn you finally want to put to work — we design around your house and your land, sort the permit, and build from footing to handrail in a matter of weeks.
Replacing an old deck?
Failing frame? We tear it out, haul it away, and rebuild a deck that’s straight, solid and to code — often in under a week of construction once we start.

Most complete tear-outs and rebuilds take under a week of construction once we start. We line up removal, build and disposal back-to-back so you’re not left with a torn-up yard.

Repairs we do
Small jobs, seriously done.
You don’t need a full rebuild to fix a bad board. Here are the repairs we do every week:
01
Boards & resurfacing
Rotten or splintering boards replaced one by one — or a full resurface on framing that’s still sound.
02
Stairs & handrails
Wobbly stair stringers rebuilt; handrails and balusters tightened to code so they’re trustable again.
03
Railings
Loose railings secured or replaced — or upgraded to aluminum or glass while we’re at it.
04
Posts, footings & structure
Heaved posts, sinking footings, ledger issues — we fix the bones, not just the surface.
Honest advice, every time
Repair it — or replace it?
Repair it.
Sound framing with a few bad boards, squeaks, or loose rails? A repair is usually the smartest money you’ll spend — and we’ll tell you exactly what’ll last.
Replace it.
Widespread rot, soft framing, or a ledger pulling away from the house? A full rebuild costs less in the long run — and we’ll show you why, board by board.
Freeze-thaw exposes the damage — repair it the season it happens, not after it spreads.
Contractors book up by March — a winter slot means you’re first in line.
Your deck is safe for the first thaw, not weeks behind when spring arrives.
Straight answers
Deck repair questions.
Yes — board, stair, railing and most structural repairs can be done year-round. A winter assessment also means you beat the spring booking rush.
Sound framing with damaged boards or loose rails usually means a repair. Widespread rot, soft framing or a failing ledger means replacement saves money long-term. We’ll show you exactly which at your free assessment — honestly.
We match materials and tones as closely as current lumber and composites allow, and we’re upfront about where a perfect match isn’t possible.
Yes. Single components — railings, stairs, boards, posts — are exactly the small jobs we take on.
It varies with scope. A free in-person assessment gets you an exact written price — no pressure and no obligation.

New cedar and pressure-treated privacy fences — posts set deep, lines straight, gates that actually swing. Plus repairs for leaning posts, storm damage, and fences that gave up on life.
It depends on length, height, material and gates. We measure on site and give you a free written quote with the exact price — no pressure and no obligation.
Most residential fences don’t need a building permit, but city by-laws set rules for height and placement. We build compliant — ask us at your free estimate.
It’s smart on a shared property line — agreed fences go up faster. We can also build to your side of the line if you’d rather not wait.
Cedar looks premium and naturally resists rot; pressure-treated costs less and can be stained to match. We build both and lay out the trade-offs for your yard.
Usually yes — leaning posts, rotten panels and storm damage are fixable. If repairs would cost half of a new fence, we’ll tell you straight.
Yes. Posts can be set as long as the ground allows, and winter timelines are usually shorter. We’ll confirm conditions at your free estimate.
