FAQ
How much does it cost to build a deck in Manitoba?
The cost of building a deck in Manitoba depends on the deck materials you choose as well as whether you do the deck construction yourself or hire builders to do the job. In addition to materials for the deck itself, you’ll potentially also need to factor in the cost of railings, stairs, skirting, lighting, and other add-ons.
Do you need a permit to build a deck in Winnipeg?
Yes. Building and development permits must be obtained from the City of Winnipeg’s Zoning & Permits Office before construction begins on any residential deck that exceeds 3.4 square meters (36 square feet) or is more than 60 cm (2 feet) above the ground.
How much should I pay for my deck?
That depends entirely on your vision for your deck and personal budget. A knowledgeable STAR representative will be happy to help you calculate the cost of materials for the deck project you have in mind.
