Deck & Gazebo in Woodbridge — the short answer

Deck and gazebo construction covers the design, permitting and building of raised or grade-level outdoor structures — including footings below the frost line, pressure-treated framing, and pressure-treated, cedar, composite or PVC decking. In the GTA in 2026, professionally built decks cost roughly $30 to $50 per square foot in pressure-treated lumber, $50 to $75 in cedar, $65 to $90 in composite, and $80 to $110 in PVC. In Woodbridge, deck permits are issued by City of Vaughan Building Standards, and a permit is generally required once a deck is attached to the house or sits more than 600 mm above grade.

What Woodbridge houses are like

What we can build in a Woodbridge backyard is set by grade, lot width and what the house can carry. Substantial detached homes ranging from 1980s builds in Islington Woods and old Woodbridge village through to large 2000s properties in Vellore and Sonoma Heights. Finished basements with wet bars, second kitchens and cold cellars are close to standard, and outdoor kitchens are increasingly common.

Stone, porcelain large-format tile and full outdoor living builds are the norm here rather than the upgrade, and we quote and schedule accordingly.
