$15,000 – $60,000 typical range.
- $15,000 – $22,000 — 10x14 cedar deck off a back door. Cedar surface, pressure-treated joists, standard cedar railing, sonotube footings. Typical Kits or East Van back-deck rebuild.
- $22,000 – $35,000 — 14x20 composite deck. Trex or TimberTech surface, aluminum or glass-panel railing, integrated step lighting. Common in Mount Pleasant and Cambie corridor rebuilds.
- $35,000 – $48,000 — Multi-level deck with a covered section, tongue-and-groove ceiling, gas-line rough-in for a BBQ. Standard in Point Grey and Dunbar character home backyards.
- + $3,000 – $8,000 — Some older Vancouver homes have existing decks attached via questionable ledger connections. We re-flash the ledger to current code as part of the rebuild — non-negotiable for safety.

Vancouver permits
How we handle the paperwork.
The City of Vancouver requires a building permit for any deck over 24 inches off the ground or any deck attached to the house — which covers almost every project. Vancouver's permit office adds 2–4 weeks to the start date but the process is reliable. We submit the application the week the contract is signed and manage every inspector visit. For strata properties (most condo balcony rebuilds), we draft the strata council letter and verify against building bylaws first.
Material choices
Options that work in Vancouver.
Western red cedar is still the most-requested material in Vancouver. Warm, beautiful, smells great. Ages to silver-grey unsealed, or stays warm-brown with annual sealing. Vancouver's wet winters demand annual cedar maintenance to hit 20+ years.
Composite (Trex Transcend, TimberTech AZEK, Fiberon) costs 40–60% more upfront but is essentially maintenance-free. 25–30 year lifespan. Holds up better than cedar in Vancouver's wet seasons. Our most-recommended option for clients who don't want annual upkeep.
Pressure-treated is the budget option — fine for joists, decent for a utility deck, but we rarely recommend it as the surface material for a primary entertaining deck.

What Vancouver customers say
Reviews from Vancouver homeowners.
"I've used Naybur Contracting for many of my home renovation projects from building a deck in my backyard, landscaping, renovating 2 bathrooms and changing the flooring in my bedrooms to small odd jobs around the house. Adam and his team did excellent work every time."

Common questions
FAQ.
What does a deck cost in Vancouver?
$15,000 to $55,000. Compact 10x14 cedar: $15K–$22K. Mid-size 14x20 composite: $22K–$35K. Multi-level covered deck with gas-line BBQ rough-in: $35K–$48K.
Do I need a Vancouver permit?
Yes for most decks — anything over 24 inches off the ground or attached to the house. We file the application, manage inspector visits, and close the file at completion.
Cedar or composite for Vancouver?
Composite usually wins for Vancouver clients. The wet winters demand annual cedar maintenance, which most people don't actually do. Composite stays consistent for 25–30 years with minimal care. Cedar still wins on appearance for owners who'll actually seal it annually.
How long does it take?
Two to four weeks. Footings cure 24–48 hours before framing. We don't pour concrete in heavy rain. Permit lead time adds 2–4 weeks before we start.
Which Vancouver neighborhoods do you cover?
All of them. Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Dunbar, Point Grey, Marpole, East Vancouver, Riley Park, Cambie, Main Street, West End.
