How Much Does a Deck Cost in Parksville?
Parksville Deck Builders prices decks across Parksville, Lantzville and Nanoose Bay from $6,000 to $65,000 or more installed, depending on size, material and railing choice. We price pressure-treated wood at $45 to $75 per square foot and composite at $80 to $130, with a mid-range 200 to 300 square foot deck usually landing between $15,000 and $28,000.

These are the price ranges we quote for deck work in Parksville and the surrounding Regional District of Nanaimo, based on our own completed jobs.
For a full breakdown of what a build involves, see new deck construction.
| Material | Installed cost per sq ft | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure-treated wood | $45 – $75 | Budget-friendly; sensitive to wet-coast moisture over the long term |
| Western red cedar | $60 – $90 | Local look, natural rot resistance, moderate maintenance |
| Vinyl membrane (sheet waterproofing) | $50 – $85 | Needed for a deck over living space or dry storage underneath |
| Composite (Trex, TimberTech) | $80 – $130 | Low maintenance, handles rain and shade moss without rotting |
| PVC or exotic hardwood (e.g. Ipe) | $100 – $150+ | Premium durability, rot and insect immunity |
What drives the price of a deck?
Size and material are the two biggest factors, followed by how far the deck sits above grade, the railing type, stair complexity, and soil or slope conditions that change the footing plan. A ground-level 100 square foot deck and a second-storey 400 square foot deck with glass railings sit at opposite ends of the range for a reason.
| Size and finish | Typical budget |
|---|---|
| Basic, 100–150 sq ft, ground level, pressure-treated or basic vinyl, standard wood or aluminum pickets | $6,000 – $12,000 |
| Mid-range, 200–300 sq ft, elevated 2–6 ft, cedar or mid-tier composite, aluminum picket railings | $15,000 – $28,000 |
| Premium or multi-level, 300–400+ sq ft, second-storey height, capped composite or PVC, glass railings, engineered stairs | $30,000 – $65,000+ |
Repairs and re-decking
Small repairs are priced by the job: expect a $150 to $500 minimum for board replacement, or $15 to $40 per square foot with material and tear-out included. Joist and framing rot runs $150 to $350 per joist, and a larger structural repair typically costs $800 to $2,500. Where labour is billed separately, carpenter time runs $65 to $110 an hour.
Re-decking on framing and footings we've confirmed are sound runs $45 to $65 per square foot, typically $8,500 to $18,000 total. That sits inside the same range as a whole new pressure-treated deck at $45 to $75 per square foot, because the framing and footings are already in the ground — you're paying for decking and labour, not another foundation.
| Railing type | Cost per linear ft |
|---|---|
| Wood | $30 – $60 |
| Aluminum picket | $60 – $100 |
| Framed glass | $120 – $200 |
| Frameless or topless glass | $200 – $350+ |
Permits and where they add to the price
Permit fees vary by municipality. Parksville charges a $100 minimum plus a per-thousand-dollar rate on construction value; the Regional District of Nanaimo charges a processing fee plus a permit fee based on construction value in its electoral areas, including Nanoose Bay. Neither is a large share of most deck budgets, but we confirm the exact fee for your address in the quote — see the fee schedules by municipality.
