Avoid Vinyl Deck Chaos – Don’t Install It Yourself!
10 Year Replacement Guarantee On Materials And Workmanship
If you want a long-lasting, weatherproof deck – installing the vinyl isn’t something you should DIY. There are many tricks of the trade that can easily be missed if you don’t have the expertise.
Consider the following 4 questions:
- Do you know how to properly weld the vinyl together so that seams don’t lift?
- Do you know how long to allow the glue to set before placing the vinyl down so that it doesn’t bubble?
- Do you know how to properly attach the clips in order to keep the vinyl from curling up?
- Do you know how to ensure the waterproofing is done 100% correctly so moisture doesn’t work it’s way underneath the vinyl and rot the wood?
Knowing the answers to these questions is crucial if you’re investing in a deck that will last for years with little upkeep.

Services You Can Rely On
Everything you need for your deck is right here – never deal with multiple contractors again!
Complete Deck Build
We can do the whole build for you in as little as 3 days (for larger jobs, it may take 4-5 days), which includes:
- Carpentry
- Vinyl install and weatherproofing
- Railing installation
Check out our full deck building process below.
Vinyl decking is not only cost-effective but also:
- Available in many styles, patterns, and colours
- Used for balconies, rooftop decks, sundecks, and more
- Waterproof
Deck Repairs
Is your vinyl:
- Curling up?
- Faded?
Is there any rot on your deck (are there obvious ‘soft spots’ along your deck)?
If caught early enough, we can save your deck and make it good as new.
We can tell just by walking on your deck how significant damage is – if your deck is too far gone to save, we break down why and advise you to build an entirely new deck.
Railing Installs
Typically vinyl installation and railing installation is done by 2 separate contractors.
This means measurements for railings can’t be done until the deck is installed – the result is a long wait time. Railings can take 3+ weeks to come in!
We can do both railing and vinyl install, which means that we can order your railings first and avoid the wait.
Our 3-Day Process For A Full Deck Build
Get Vinyl Or Railing Installation In 1 Day
Here is our typical process for a 20’ x 12’ deck (a size you generally see for a 2000 ft² home). Bigger jobs can take 1-2 days longer.
day 1
Building
We build your deck from scratch. Occasionally the build can take an extra day, but we typically get it done in 1 full workday.
day 2
Vinyl Install
Once build is complete, we wrap your deck in the vinyl you selected.
day 3
Railings
The shortest day! Once build and vinyl installation is complete, we install your railings.
Railings are always ordered before we build. This ensures that your deck is perfectly matched with your railing measurements.
Your Vinyl Deck-Care Checklist
Keep your deck in the best shape by doing the following:
- Keep it clean – although vinyl decking is very low maintenance, it is a good idea to occasionally wash and sweep it. Make sure to use a good deck cleaner that is meant to keep your deck material in the best of shape. It’s best to use a stiff broom and to scrub in a circular motion. Don’t let leaves pile up and sit on your deck – when they rot, they stain your vinyl!
- Pressure wash on a low PSI – having too much pressure can ruin your vinyl. We suggest you use a pressure washer with no more than 1500 psi. Be sure to rinse at least 12 inches from the surface.
- Annual inspection – it’s in your best interest to do a thorough study of your deck 1x a year. When you slide furniture or BBQ’s around, you can slice up your vinyl and make it susceptible to rot. Repair the cuts as early as possible!
When using deck cleaner, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions!
