Permit-Approved Two-Level Composite Deck with Waterproof System

Mississauga
Completed November 2025

This project involved the design and construction of a fully custom two-level composite deck completed through a formal permit process, including detailed drawings, submission, and municipal approval. All structural plans were prepared in accordance with local building code requirements. Permit applications were submitted, reviewed, and approved prior to construction, ensuring full compliance with safety and engineering standards. The finished structure features upper and lower composite deck levels, built using high-performance decking boards engineered for long-term durability. The perimeter is completed with aluminum glass railing, delivering modern aesthetics and unobstructed views. A fully integrated waterproof drainage system was installed beneath both deck levels to protect structural components and maintain dry, usable space below. The underside of the upper deck was enclosed with a finished soffit ceiling system, incorporating hardwired recessed spotlights for ambient illumination. The lower level, with approximately four feet of clearance, was enclosed using smart panel cladding to create secure and functional storage space. All structural framing was carefully concealed, and support posts were wrapped in composite material to eliminate exposed wood surfaces. The result is a permit-approved, engineered outdoor structure built to the highest standards of durability, safety, and craftsmanship.

Scope

Preparation of structural drawings, permit submission and approval process, and construction of a two-level composite deck featuring aluminum glass railing, full waterproof drainage systems, enclosed under-deck storage, finished soffit ceiling with integrated lighting, and composite-wrapped structural posts.

Challenge

The project required full permit approval, including structural drawings and compliance with building code regulations. Integrating waterproof systems across two deck levels while enclosing the underside with soffit and lighting demanded precise engineering coordination to maintain drainage performance, ventilation, and long-term structural stability.

Result

A fully permit-approved two-level composite deck featuring waterproof protection, enclosed storage, finished soffit ceiling, and modern glass railing — delivering structural integrity, compliance, and refined outdoor living.

Downtown Backyard Wood Deck with Privacy Screens & Fence Upgrade

This project involved the construction of a custom wooden deck for a downtown Toronto home situated on a narrow urban lot with a compact backyard. Designed to maximize functionality within limited space, the deck provides structured outdoor living while maintaining privacy and accessibility. A side-entry staircase allows access from the front passageway, while a rear staircase with integrated gate provides direct backyard exit. To enhance privacy between closely spaced neighboring properties, privacy screens were installed along both sides of the deck. The rear boundary was enclosed with new fencing, creating a defined and secure outdoor area. Additionally, the left-side property line fence was replaced and upgraded to improve visual consistency and structural integrity alongside the new deck build. The result is a refined urban backyard solution that balances space efficiency, privacy, and durable wood craftsmanship within a tight downtown setting.

Composite Deck with Aluminum Picket Railing

This project involved the construction of a custom composite deck designed to provide a balanced and functional outdoor living space. Built using high-performance composite decking boards, the structure offers long-term durability, moisture resistance, and low-maintenance performance. The perimeter is finished with aluminum picket railing, combining structural strength with a clean and timeless appearance. While moderate in size, the layout was carefully planned to maximize usable space without overwhelming the backyard. The result is a refined and practical deck that enhances everyday outdoor living. This project reflects a well-proportioned residential deck solution — not oversized, not minimal — but thoughtfully built to suit the home’s scale and lifestyle needs.

Custom Wooden Ravine Staircase with Intermediate Deck

This project involved the construction of a custom wooden staircase system designed to provide safe and structured access from a backyard overlooking a ravine. The natural slope of the property created a steep and challenging descent that would have been difficult and unsafe without a formal access structure. To resolve this, a fully framed wooden staircase system was installed, incorporating multiple landings to break the vertical drop and improve comfort during descent. Partway down the staircase, a small intermediate deck platform was integrated on the left side. This landing deck creates a pause point within the descent and offers a usable outdoor space without requiring full access to the lower grade. The staircase continues beyond the deck platform, allowing direct access to the flat area at the bottom of the ravine slope. The railing system combines wood framing with aluminum pickets, delivering structural strength while maintaining visual openness. The result is a functional and aesthetically refined grade-transition solution that transforms a steep backyard into a safely accessible and usable landscape.
