How Much Does a Deck Cost in Parksville?
Parksville Deck Builders provides clear deck cost details for homeowners across Parksville, Lantzville and Nanoose Bay. We price pressure-treated wood at $45 to $75 per square foot and composite at $80 to $130, with mid-range 200 to 300 square foot decks running $15,000 to $28,000. We calculate your total installed price on site before you make any decisions.
We quote these installed price ranges across the 5 local communities where we work.
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?
Deck size and materials drive most of your price. Post height, railings, stairs and sloped soil also affect total cost. A ground-level 100 square foot deck and a second-storey 400 square foot deck with glass railings sit at opposite ends of the price 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
We price small repairs by the job with a $150 to $500 minimum, or $15 to $40 per square foot for board work. Joist and framing rot runs $150 to $350 per joist, and a larger structural repair typically costs $800 to $2,500. We bill individual carpenter labour at $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. Re-decking runs $45 to $65 per square foot, which costs less than a whole new pressure-treated deck at $45 to $75 per square foot. You are paying for new surface boards and labour, not a brand-new 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 local town. Parksville charges a $100 minimum permit fee plus a rate for every thousand dollars of 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. Permit fees remain a small part of your overall budget. We verify exact amounts and fee schedules by municipality in your written quote.
