New Brunswick Decks is part of the NB Construction Network — connecting homeowners with local deck builders across the province.
New Brunswick's harsh freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and Maritime moisture make building a deck that lasts a real challenge. A builder who understands proper frost-depth footing requirements (1.2-1.5 metres in NB), structural load calculations for snow, and the best materials for our climate can make the difference between a deck that lasts 25 years and one that fails after a few winters.
New Brunswick Decks makes it easy to find local deck builders for any project — from simple backyard decks to multi-level composite installations with pergolas and railings. Submit your project details and we'll connect you with professionals who serve your area. We always recommend verifying insurance and WorkSafeNB coverage before hiring.

Part of the New Brunswick Construction Network — NB's trusted resource for finding qualified contractors across all trades.
Our free knowledge base answers hundreds of deck building questions specific to New Brunswick — costs, materials, permits, and more.
From design to finishing touches, find the right deck builder for your project:
Professional design services including 3D renderings, material selection, and permit-ready plans tailored to your property. Local designers know NB's frost depth requirements, wind loads for coastal properties, and which layouts maximize your outdoor season.
Budget $500-$5,000 for design services depending on complexity. A good design pays for itself in avoided mistakes and material waste.
Complete deck construction from footings to finish. NB builders dig footings below frost line (1.2m in southern NB, up to 1.5m in the north), frame to code, and install your choice of decking. Pressure-treated runs $25-40/sq ft installed, cedar $35-55/sq ft, and composite $45-75/sq ft.
Proper construction is critical in NB's climate: 100+ freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and Maritime humidity all demand expert workmanship.
Structural repairs, board replacement, joist sistering, and full restoration for weather-damaged decks. NB's freeze-thaw cycles crack boards, ice dams damage joists, and Maritime humidity rots untreated wood. A professional assessment tells you whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
Catching problems early prevents costly structural failures — a deck inspection costs $150-$300 and can save thousands.
Professional staining, sealing, and refinishing to protect wood decks against NB's demanding climate. Semi-transparent stains are the most popular choice — they show wood grain while providing UV and moisture protection lasting 2-3 years.
Timing matters: staining should only be done above 10 degrees C (typically mid-May through September in NB) with no rain for 24-48 hours.
Code-compliant railing systems and stair construction. NB Building Code requires railings on any deck 24 inches above grade, with 36-inch minimum height and 4-inch maximum baluster spacing. Options include aluminum ($40-80/linear ft), glass panels ($80-150/linear ft), cable, wood, and composite systems.
Properly built stairs with consistent rise/run and graspable handrails are both a safety essential and a code requirement.
Low-maintenance Trex, TimberTech, and Fiberon composite installations with hidden fasteners and premium finishes. Composite has become the top choice for NB homeowners — it handles freeze-thaw cycles, humidity, and UV better than any wood product, with 25-50 year warranties.
Higher upfront cost ($45-75/sq ft) but virtually zero annual maintenance. Most NB homeowners break even by year 10-12 compared to wood.
Custom pergolas, gazebos, and shade structures to extend your outdoor living season. Built with pressure-treated lumber, cedar, or maintenance-free aluminum, a well-designed pergola adds architectural interest and partial shade during NB's warm summer months.
NB pergolas need beefier rafters than southern climates to handle snow loads. Expect $3,000-$15,000 for a professionally installed pergola.
