Deck Building in Qualicum Beach
Parksville Deck Builders builds and repairs decks across Qualicum Beach, from the village core to the waterfront bluffs above the beach. Framed and frameless glass railings run $120 to $350 per linear foot here, and we handle the footing work that bluff-top lots need.
A mid-range 200 to 300 square foot deck in Qualicum Beach typically runs $15,000 to $28,000 installed, before any glass railing upgrade.
Bluff-top footings in Qualicum Beach
A number of Qualicum Beach properties sit on sandy or loose soil above the beach bluffs, where a standard poured-concrete footing isn't always the right fit. On those lots we use helical piles instead, which screw into the ground rather than requiring an excavation and a concrete truck.

What does a typical job look like?
- The problem
- A homeowner on the bluff above the beach wants their existing wood railing swapped for glass to open up the ocean view.
- What makes it harder
- The loose bluff-top soil under the existing deck can't take a standard poured footing for the new glass railing posts.
- What we do
- We install six helical piles for the new railing posts and set frameless glass panels in an aluminum base shoe along the full run.
