Ready to get started?
Edmonton's short summers make outdoor living space incredibly valuable — and a well-built deck or fence extends your usable living area from May through October. As an experienced Edmonton deck builder with decades of hands-on experience, Money Pit Solutions specializes in building decks and fences engineered specifically for Alberta's extreme climate, across Edmonton's full range of seasonal conditions and everything in between.
We are one of Edmonton's most trusted deck builders because we understand what works in our climate and what does not. We recommend vinyl and composite decking materials that resist cracking from freeze-thaw cycles, will not splinter or rot, and never need staining or sealing. These materials carry up to 20-25 year warranties and maintain their appearance year after year with nothing more than occasional cleaning. For homeowners who prefer the look and feel of natural wood, we build with pressure-treated lumber and cedar, properly sealed and finished for maximum Alberta weather resistance.
Every deck and fence project is built to comply with City of Edmonton permit requirements, including proper footings below frost line per local code, correct railing heights, and appropriate structural engineering. Our deck and fence crews carry WCB coverage, pass background checks, and every build is backed by comprehensive liability protection. From initial design through final inspection, we deliver outdoor spaces that are safe, beautiful, and built to handle decades of Edmonton weather.
Decks & Fences Services Include
Everything you need to complete your project—from initial demo to final finishes.
Vinyl and Composite Decking
Vinyl decking in Edmonton is the top choice for homeowners who want minimal maintenance and long-lasting performance. Composite decking combines wood fibres and recycled plastic for a natural wood look without the upkeep. Both options resist fading, staining, and the freeze-thaw damage that destroys traditional wood decks in Alberta.
Pressure-Treated Wood Decks
For homeowners who prefer traditional wood at a lower price point, we build with pressure-treated lumber that resists rot and insect damage. We apply quality stains and sealants and can advise on a maintenance schedule that keeps your wood deck looking great through Edmonton seasons.
Custom Deck Design and Building
Every yard is different, and we design custom decks that maximize your outdoor living space. Whether you need a multi-level deck with built-in seating, a wraparound deck, or a simple platform deck, our Edmonton deck builder team creates designs tailored to your lot, your home, and how you use your outdoor space.
Fence Installation and Replacement
We install pressure-treated wood fences, vinyl fences, chain link, and ornamental iron fencing throughout Edmonton and surrounding areas. Fence installation in Edmonton requires footings below frost line to prevent heaving — we set all posts at the required depth with concrete footings for lasting stability.
Privacy Screens and Railings
Enhance your deck with privacy screens that block wind and neighbours' views, and railings that combine safety with style. We install aluminum, glass, cable, and composite railing systems that meet building code height requirements and complement your deck design.
Pergolas and Gazebos
Add shade and architectural interest to your outdoor space with a custom pergola or gazebo. We build freestanding and attached structures in wood, vinyl, or aluminum, and can add features like retractable canopies, fan mounts, and integrated lighting.
Deck Repairs and Refinishing
Alberta weather takes a toll on existing decks. We repair rotted boards, replace damaged structural components, fix loose railings, and refinish worn surfaces. Sometimes a deck repair is all you need — we give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
Winter-Proof Materials
Every material we use is selected for Alberta winter performance. Our vinyl decking is UV and heat stabilized, our composite boards are rated for extreme temperature cycling, and our hardware is stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized to resist corrosion from road salt and moisture.
Deck Lighting and Electrical Installation
Extend your deck enjoyment into Edmonton's long summer evenings with built-in lighting. We install LED post cap lights, stair lights, railing lights, and under-rail strip lighting. All electrical work is completed by licensed electricians and meets Alberta electrical code.

Rotting and Splintering Wood Decks
Edmonton's wet springs and harsh winters accelerate wood deck deterioration. If your deck boards are soft, splintering, or show visible rot, the structural integrity may be compromised. We assess whether boards can be replaced individually or if a full rebuild with modern materials is the better investment.
Frost-Heaved Fence Posts
Fence posts set too shallow will heave out of the ground during Edmonton's freeze-thaw cycles, causing sections to lean or collapse. Posts must be set to a minimum 4-foot depth with proper drainage. We reset or replace heaved posts with correctly installed footings.
Wobbly Railings and Loose Boards
Railings and boards loosen over time due to temperature cycling and fastener corrosion. Loose railings are a safety hazard, especially for families with children. We secure or rebuild railings to meet current building code and restore structural stability.
Water Damage at Ledger Board Connection
Where a deck attaches to your house, improper flashing can allow water behind your siding, causing rot and structural damage. This is one of the most common and most serious deck defects. We install proper ledger board flashing on every build to prevent this issue.
Decks & Fences Costs in Edmonton
Deck and fence costs in Edmonton depend on the size of the structure, materials chosen, and complexity of the design. Vinyl and composite decking costs more upfront than pressure-treated wood but removes the need for ongoing staining and sealing costs, which can save significantly over time. Multi-level decks, built-in features like benches and planters, and specialty railings add to the investment. Fence costs vary based on material (chain link is most affordable, followed by wood, then vinyl or ornamental iron), linear footage, and terrain. We provide detailed, itemized quotes and can suggest material options to fit different budgets.
