How It Works
-
Free Design Consultation & Site Assessment: We meet with you on-site to discuss your vision, the intended use of the space, your budget, and the specific conditions of your yard — slope, sun exposure, access points, and proximity to the house. We assess footing requirements, municipal setback rules, and any permit considerations for your property.
-
Design & Detailed Estimate: We develop a deck design that works for your space and lifestyle — layout, size, level changes, stairs, railing style, and material selection. You get a detailed written estimate with a clear scope before any commitment is made.
-
Permits Pulled: For most deck projects in Red Deer, a building permit is required. Green Ladder handles the permit application process so you don't have to navigate City Hall. Work doesn't start until the permit is in hand.
-
Footings & Structure: Footings are dug and poured to code, set to the correct depth for Central Alberta's frost line. The structural framing — posts, beams, joists, and ledger connection — is built to meet or exceed load requirements. The structure is what the deck's safety and longevity depends on.
-
Decking, Stairs & Railings: The finished deck surface, stair system, and railing package are installed. Whether you've chosen pressure-treated wood, cedar, or a composite system like TimberTech, every board, baluster, and post cap is fitted cleanly and finished properly.
-
Inspection & Final Walkthrough: The completed deck is inspected to code. We walk through the finished project with you — confirming every detail meets your expectations — and explain your materials and workmanship warranty.
