What Our Customers Are Saying
Building decks in Richmond
Richmond is built on the Fraser River delta, and almost all of it sits at or near sea level on soft alluvial soil. That is the defining constraint for deck work here. Footings have to account for ground less stable than the firmer soils found further inland, and long-term settlement is a genuine design consideration rather than a theoretical one.
The flat terrain means most Richmond decks sit low to the ground, which affects both guard requirements and how drainage is handled, since water has nowhere to fall away to. In Steveston, proximity to the estuary adds salt air and steady wind to the equation, which again points toward corrosion-resistant hardware.
We work throughout Steveston, Hamilton, City Centre, Broadmoor, Seafair, Terra Nova, Blundell and Ironwood.
For Richmond specifically, the question we are asked most is whether a deck over living space needs a membrane at all. If there is a room, a garage or a suite underneath, the answer is yes: that deck is functioning as a roof, and it needs to be built like one.
Permits in Richmond. Most deck projects in Richmond require a building permit. Which rules apply depends on how high the deck sits above grade, whether it is attached to the house, and the setbacks that apply in your zone. Requirements and processing times are set by the municipality and do change, so we confirm the current position directly with the city on every project rather than working from memory. We prepare and submit the application as part of the build.
