Common Questions

Yes, a permit is required for any deck more than 24 inches (600mm) above ground level or larger than 36 sq. ft. In 2026, the City of Winnipeg charges approximately $135 for a basic permit and $200+ for complex or multi-level designs.

Due to Winnipeg's heavy clay soil and deep frost lines, screw piles are the standard foundation. They typically cost between $250 and $350 per pile installed, with a standard 12x16 deck requiring 4 to 6 piles ($1,000 - $2,100 total).

Pressure-treated wood is the budget choice at $35-$50 per sq. ft. installed. Composite materials (like Trex or TimberTech) range from $65 to $115 per sq. ft. installed but offer a 25+ year lifespan with significantly lower maintenance costs.

Most professional crews can complete a standard 250 sq. ft. deck in 5 to 10 business days. However, homeowners should account for a 2-4 week lead time for permit approvals during the peak summer construction season.
