Got referred to these guys by a friend and I’m glad I went with them. I expected it to be more expensive, but the price was fair for the quality. Materials look great and the install is nice and clean. Also appreciated that they cleaned up everything after , not everyone does that. Overall, great experience.
I’m really happy with my new deck! The team did a fantastic job. They listened to what I wanted, and it turned out just as I imagined. Great work!
The XP Decking company was really easy to work with. They kept me updated, finished on schedule, and the deck is solid and looks great. I’m so pleased.
Georgina has specific building rules that are different from every other York Region municipality. No deck blocks. Plastic guard components need special approval. Three separate permit triggers. Miss any of these and your project stalls or fails inspection.
From a first deck on a Keswick subdivision lot to a full rebuild on a Lake Simcoe waterfront property, every service is handled by our own crew from start to finish.
Keswick properties fall into two groups: Lake Simcoe waterfront homes with LSRCA constraints and grade changes, and newer inland subdivision lots along Woodbine Avenue and Ravenshoe Road that need a clean, well-built first deck.
Lake Simcoe’s shoreline brings extra moisture, wind exposure and hard freeze-thaw cycles to Keswick properties. We specify materials for those conditions.
A permit is required if your deck is attached at any height, a detached deck exceeds 2ft (600mm) above grade, or a detached deck over 107 sq ft sits on ground sloping steeper than 2:1.
Two rules many Keswick contractors miss: deck blocks are not permitted, so every build needs concrete pier foundations such as sonotubes; and plastic guard components are not approved under Ontario’s Building Code without a Minister’s Ruling or BMEC approval.
Properties on septic systems must keep the deck clear of the septic field. We request your septic plan and position the deck accordingly before submitting permits.
Most Keswick shoreline and waterfront properties fall within LSRCA’s regulated area. Any deck near Lake Simcoe’s shoreline, wetlands, or regulated watercourses needs LSRCA approval before the Town issues a building permit. We check your status at the site visit and handle the application.
We visit your property, check LSRCA regulated area status, septic field location, lot grade, and foundation suitability. Clear itemized quote provided at no charge.
We prepare permit drawings to Town of Georgina Building By-law 2021-0019 standards, including correct pier foundation design and code-compliant railing specifications. We also handle the LSRCA application if your property requires it.
Our crew installs concrete pier foundations (no deck blocks), frames, decks, installs code-compliant railings, stairs, and any lighting or pergola extras. Built to Ontario Building Code frost depth for Lake Simcoe's climate.
We schedule and pass all required Town of Georgina inspections. Permit is properly closed. We hand over all documentation and walk through the finished deck with you.

A permit is required in three cases: your deck is attached to your home at any height, a detached deck exceeds 2ft (600mm) above grade at any point, or a detached deck over 107 sq ft is next to ground sloping steeper than 2:1. We confirm which triggers apply at your site visit and file the permit under Building By-law 2021-0019.
Town of Georgina building rules prohibit deck blocks as a foundation. All decks in Keswick must be built on proper pier foundations, typically concrete sonotubes poured to frost depth. We build all our Keswick decks this way as standard practice.
Not automatically. Many plastic guard and railing components are not approved under Ontario's Building Code. If your deck design calls for plastic guards, a Minister's Ruling or Building Materials Evaluation Committee approval is required before the Town will issue your permit. We design around compliant materials from the start to avoid this delay.
Yes, if your property is near Lake Simcoe's shoreline, a regulated watercourse or a wetland. LSRCA approval is required before the Town of Georgina issues your building permit. We check your regulated-area status using LSRCA's mapping tool and handle the application if needed.
Yes. Town of Georgina requires that decks be located away from the septic field. We request a copy of your septic plan from the Building Division and factor the septic field location into the deck design before submitting the permit application.
Keswick deck builds range from $8,000 for a standard ground-level attached deck to $35,000+ for large composite or IPE waterfront builds. Pier foundation requirements and LSRCA applications on waterfront lots may affect overall cost and timeline. We provide a full itemized quote after the site visit.
IPE hardwood and composite (Trex or AZEK) are the strongest choices for Lake Simcoe waterfront builds; both handle constant moisture and freeze-thaw without rotting or warping. Cedar is popular for its lakeside look, with regular maintenance. We recommend based on your site’s exposure and how much upkeep you want.
Yes. XP Decking is fully insured and compliant with Ontario Building Code requirements and Town of Georgina Building By-law 2021-0019. We carry full liability coverage and manage all permits, LSRCA applications, and inspections on every build.
