Deck Builder Barrhaven

Many Barrhaven homes have raised back doors or walkout basements, and that turns a simple deck into a real piece of construction. Paquette Contracting is a deck builder in Barrhaven that handles elevated decks, multi-step stairs and the railings that keep them safe. We plan each project with your household in mind, so the space works for morning coffee, summer dinners and kids heading out to the yard.

A deck that sits several feet above the ground carries its load on fewer points, so the foundation and framing have to be right. Every elevated deck we build rests on concrete footings or helical piles, and Jonathan decides between them after examining your lot in person. As a deck builder in Barrhaven, we pay close attention to the connection between the deck and the house, the spacing of posts and the bracing that keeps a tall structure steady. The joists are covered with a waterproof membrane that adds roughly 10 years to their life, which matters on a raised deck where replacing framing later is far more disruptive.

Stairs shape how a deck works with the rest of the property. On a raised deck, a single straight run may land in the wrong spot, so we design custom exterior stairs that turn, include a landing or step down in stages to meet the grade where you actually want to walk. Your deck builder in Barrhaven plans these stairs alongside the deck itself, which keeps rise, run and materials consistent and avoids the awkward look of stairs designed after the fact. The result is a safer descent for kids and a better connection between deck and lawn.

When a deck is high off the ground, its railing does serious work. We install railings in Barrhaven with posts secured directly into the framing, so they stay firm when someone leans, climbs or bumps into them. Each railing is matched to the deck's material and style for a unified finish. As the deck builder in Barrhaven responsible for the entire structure, we plan railing locations during framing rather than bolting them on at the end.
