A little while back, we surprised one lucky homeowner with a brand-new custom deck — won completely free, built by our team. We promised we'd show you the finished result — and now we can. Her new deck on Lorette St in Dieppe is complete, and it turned out beautifully.

From giveaway entry to finished deck

This is what winning a free deck from us actually looks like — a real, permitted, code-built custom deck on the back of a real Dieppe home. Catch up on the reveal video here.

What we built

The back of this two-storey Dieppe home needed a raised deck to bring the main floor out to a usable outdoor space. Here's what went into it:

  • Decking: Premium pressure-treated lumber — a classic, durable choice that suits the home and stands up to New Brunswick seasons
  • Railings: Black aluminum balusters set into pressure-treated top and bottom rails — the clean, modern wood-and-black combo that's become a signature look for us
  • Staircase: A full run down to grade with matching railing and balusters, carried through the same detailing as the deck
  • Structure: A raised frame engineered for NB snow loads, with the ledger properly flashed where the deck meets the house

Behind the scenes

A deck like this comes together one careful detail at a time. Setting each baluster plumb, measuring and marking every board before it's cut, matching the stair railing to the deck line — it's the unglamorous, get-it-right work that separates a deck that looks sharp on day one from one that still looks sharp a decade later.

And it's the kind of work our crew genuinely enjoys — especially on a project like this one, where the homeowner won the whole thing.

The tools behind the finish

Clean cuts and tight joints don't happen by accident. Our crews run pro-grade cordless gear on site — including Milwaukee M18 FUEL — so every board is cut accurately and every fastener is set right, rain or shine.
