Welcome to XP Decking. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) outline the rules and expectations that apply when you engage with our services or use our website.
We’re committed to being fair, honest, and upfront. Please read these terms carefully—whether you’re requesting a deck quote, booking a consultation, or working with us on a custom outdoor project, these terms ensure everything runs smoothly for both sides.
Services We Provide
- Custom deck design and installation
- Deck repair, removal, and rebuilding
- Deck lighting and landscaping
- Outdoor structures like pergolas, cabanas, and sheds
- Waterproofing services
Quote Requests and Estimates
All quotes provided, whether online, by phone, or during a site visit, are non-binding until confirmed by a signed contract.
Important notes about quotes:
- All estimates are valid for 30 days
- Material prices and labour costs may change if market conditions shift
- Final pricing may be adjusted if project details change after the quote is accepted
- It’s your responsibility to provide accurate site and access details
If unexpected structural issues arise (e.g., poor soil, old framing, unmarked utilities), we’ll always consult with you before any price changes occur.
Project Timeline and Delays
- Weather delays (rain, extreme cold, snow, or heat advisories)
- Permit processing times from local building authorities
- Supply chain issues causing material shortages
- Client-requested design changes
Payments and Billing
To confirm your booking and secure materials, we require a deposit.
Our Standard Payment Structure:
- 30–50% deposit due at contract signing
- Progress payments during longer builds or multi-phase projects
- Final payment due upon completion and client approval
We accept e-transfer, cheque, or cash. Full payment must be received before any warranties become valid. Late payments (over 7 days) may incur late fees or work stoppage.
If you have questions about your invoice, just call us—we’ll always walk you through the details.
Permits and Legal Compliance
XP Decking follows all relevant building codes and zoning bylaws in Ontario. In many cases, a permit is required for your deck or outdoor structure.
Our role:
- We can assist in preparing drawings and submitting permit applications
- We’ll advise you on whether a permit is required based on your location and design
Your role:
- You are responsible for confirming property lines, underground utility markings, and local HOA or subdivision rules
Failure to disclose accurate site details can lead to project delays or cancellations.
Cancellations and Refund Policy
We understand that plans can change. Here’s what to expect if you need to cancel your project.
If You Cancel:
- Cancellations made within 48 hours of scheduled work may forfeit your deposit
- If materials have been ordered or delivered, those costs are non-refundable
- If work has begun, you will be billed for labour and materials used up to that point
If We Cancel:
- We may cancel a project due to safety issues, unpermitted work, site inaccessibility, or non-payment
- In such cases, any unused portion of your payment will be refunded
We try to be fair and transparent in every situation.
