Composite is practical. Wood is personal. There's the warmth of timber under bare feet on a July evening, grain that no two boards share, and the faint smell of cedar after a summer rain. Toronto backyards have been built in wood for generations for a reason — and plenty of our clients, having weighed every modern alternative, choose it on purpose.
A wood deck is only as good as the carpenter behind it, and carpentry is where DECKLAB started: our founder has spent 20 years working with wood. That shows in the details you feel rather than notice — boards selected and crowned so they shed water instead of cupping it, gaps spaced evenly for drainage, cuts that meet cleanly at every corner. A deck like that doesn't just look right in June; it still feels solid in its tenth February.
