Adding a new deck or fence to your backyard can not only increase your property value, but it’s also one of the best ways to upgrade your outdoor living space. Whether you're starting from scratch or replacing an existing structure, the right design can transform your backyard into a space you love.
MKW Services is your local full-service outdoor living company. For over 15 years, they’ve been building five-star decks and fences across York Region, Durham Region, and Kawartha Lakes—helping homeowners create outdoor spaces they love.
A PVC deck is the last deck you’ll ever build
While a traditional pressure treated lumber deck may have a lifespan of about 10 to 15 years, a PVC deck will last a lifetime. The up-front cost can be about twice as much as a traditional deck, but the longevity and durability of a PVC deck are unmatched.
“My goal is to build something that lasts a long time,” said Matt Wilcox, project manager at MKW Services. “I don’t want to build something that someone is going to have to tear down in 10 years and replace. All of the low-maintenance decking we work with comes with at least a 25-year warranty.
“Some of the American decking brands we work with come with up to a 50-year warranty. So our goal is to build a lifetime deck.”
Compared to pressure treated decks and fencing, PVC isn’t prone to splitting, cracking, shrinking or warping. And PVC decking lasts significantly longer and comes in an array of colours, allowing you to choose the perfect shade to match your backyard or personal tastes.
Most pressure treated decks also require a considerable amount of maintenance over their lifespan. Cleaning, sanding and staining might be required every one to two years. But once you install low-maintenance PVC, it practically takes care of itself. An occasional rinse with a garden hose is the only cleaning that’s required.
“Families are busy and don’t have time to sand and stain their deck,” Wilcox said. “Every weekend you want to work on your deck, your neighbour is always busy. But every weekend you want to entertain on your deck, your neighbour is always available. If you have a low-maintenance deck, it’s always ready for entertaining—just add a party.”
A Canadian-made deck with Canadian materials
Many homeowners are becoming conscientious of supporting Canadian-made products and companies. While MKW Services may not be able to use 100 per cent Canadian products, they can build a new deck or fence using the majority of Canadian materials.
One option is TruNorth Decking, based in Brantford, Ontario. As the only Canadian-made low-maintenance decking board, TruNorth offers both composite and PVC options. These products come with a 25-year product warranty and are backed by MKW Services' lifetime workmanship guarantee on the installation.
Get an instant quote with up-front pricing
Once homeowners decide to build a new deck, fence, or outdoor structure, they typically gather multiple quotes to get an idea of pricing. MKW Services is transparent with all costs, allowing you to build an instant online quote for a deck or fence and have it instantly delivered directly to your inbox.
“Part of our philosophy is to be fully transparent with our clients,” Wilcox said. “A lot of our pricing is online. We have pricing calculators built into our website for decks and fences, and we have our warranty publicly available on our website as well.”
“99 per cent of the time, the prices on the calculator are the prices that I charge them. It’s not a bait and switch type of deal. If there’s a real curve ball in their backyard, we will address that and adjust the quote if necessary.”
