Why Pressure-Treated Decks Are a Smart Choice for Newmarket Homes
Pressure-treated decking is one of the most reliable, cost-effective choices for Newmarket homeowners looking for strength, value, and all-season performance. Reasons pressure-treated decks are an excellent choice include:
Built for Ontario Weather
Newmarket’s weather can be tough on outdoor wood. We use ACQ-treated lumber that’s rated for ground contact and built to handle heavy snow, wet springs, and summer heat.
Resists rot, fungal decay, and insects
The wood we use is pressure-treated with preservatives that help prevent rot, decay, and insect damage — three of the most common reasons decks fail early.
Easy to stain or paint
Once the boards have dried out, they’re ready for stain or paint. It’s a great way to customize the look and add extra protection against the elements.
Lower upfront cost
Pressure-treated decking is more affordable than cedar or composite. It’s a smart choice if you want something strong and good-looking without overspending.
Strong structural support
This lumber isn’t just for looks — it’s load-bearing. We use it for deck frames, joists, and beams to make sure your deck stays solid and safe for years.
Popular Deck Styles Built with Pressure-Treated Lumber
We custom build every deck using pressure-treated lumber rated for ground or above-ground contact, delivering strength, safety, and style in any layout. Our popular deck style includes:
Ground-Level Decks
Perfect for flat backyards, ground-level decks built with .40 ACQ-rated pressure-treated wood are stable, safe, and budget-friendly. We install with proper drainage, joist spacing, and moisture barriers to avoid sagging or rot. Others skip these details, and we don't.
Multi-Tier Decks
Our multi-tier designs use engineered pressure-treated support posts and framing to handle elevation changes, slopes, or landscape features. We lock every level with stainless steel fasteners and seamless transitions—no creaks, no shifts, just rock-solid steps.
Poolside Platforms
We build pool decks with ground-contact rated PT lumber that resists chlorine, humidity, and UV. Slip-resistant finishes and gap spacing improve drainage and safety. While others cut corners, we build for long-term function and code compliance.
Walkout Basement Landings
For homes with rear walkouts, we frame landings with double beam support and install custom staircases with reinforced stringers. Our decks handle Ontario freeze-thaw cycles better, thanks to proper footing depth and flashing done right.
Second-Storey Structures
Second-storey decks demand strength—we use PT structural posts, lag-bolted ledger boards, and braced beams to handle load and wind. Our team builds to the Ontario Building Code with expert precision. No wobbles, no future sag, just solid work from day one.
Attached or Floating Decks
Whether you need an attached deck tied into your home’s frame, or a standalone floating deck, we customize both using joist hangers, rim boards, and ACQ-rated framing anchors. Many installers skip permits—we handle them, inspect everything, and build to last.

Care & Maintenance Tips for Pressure-Treated Decks
A pressure-treated deck can last 15–20 years or more, but like anything outdoors, it needs some basic care to stay safe and looking good. Here’s how we recommend keeping yours in top shape:
Let it dry before staining or painting
After installation, your deck needs time to dry out. Most pressure-treated lumber has a high moisture content when new. Wait at least 30–60 days before applying stain or paint — longer in shady or damp areas.
Stain every 2–3 years
Use a high-quality, semi-transparent stain that’s designed for pressure-treated wood. This helps protect against UV damage, moisture, and surface cracking.
Clean once a year
Sweep off leaves and debris regularly, then give it a deep clean each spring with a deck cleaner or a mix of mild soap and water. Avoid pressure washers unless used with care — they can damage the wood fibers.
Inspect and tighten hardware
Once a year, check fasteners, railings, and stairs. Tighten any loose screws and replace corroded hardware to keep the structure solid and safe.
Keep airflow underneath
Make sure the space under your deck isn’t blocked. Good airflow helps moisture escape and prevents wood from staying damp — a key to avoiding rot.
Avoid rugs and mats that trap moisture
Stick with breathable outdoor rugs. Rubber-backed mats or anything that holds water can create mould spots or lead to wood damage over time.

With regular care like sealing and staining, a pressure-treated deck can easily last 15 to 20 years or more in Newmarket conditions.
