A deck is carpentry first — everything else follows the frame.

Most deck problems start below the surface: footings that heave, a ledger that was never flashed, joists spaced for the wrong decking, fasteners that rust out after three seasons. A deck here has to take freeze-thaw, snow load, road salt and a short building season, and the frame is what decides whether it is still square in ten years.

Corey trained in carpentry at CVCEC in Ormstown, so the structure is handled in-house — frost-depth footings and post bases, ledger attachment and flashing, joist layout sized for the decking you choose, stairs cut on site, and guards that meet code rather than simply look right.

One quote, one schedule, one point of contact. If the deck ties into a door, a patio, a pergola or a fence line, that is planned as part of the same job instead of left to somebody else.

What's included

What a deck build covers.

Scope varies by site. These are the elements most deck projects involve — we confirm exactly what yours needs before quoting.

01 /

Site assessment and design

Sun, sightlines, door heights, grade and setbacks, plus what your municipality allows, settled before any drawings are fixed.

02 /

Footings and framing

Frost-depth footings, post bases, a properly flashed ledger and joist layout sized for the decking material and the span.

03 /

Decking and fastening

Cedar, pressure-treated or composite decking, laid with hidden or coated fasteners and the gapping the material actually needs.

04 /

Railings, stairs and screens

Code-compliant guards and stairs, plus privacy screens, skirting and built-in benches where they make sense.

05 /

Pergolas, lighting and finishing

Pergolas, low-voltage lighting, stain or seal, and a final walkthrough where anything outstanding gets listed and closed.

What a client said

Last summer Corey built our deck to the specifications and design we asked for. Excellent work. This year he redid the whole outside of our home again with his expertise.

How it works

From walking the yard to the final walkthrough.

Conversation

We walk the yard, talk through how you want to use the deck, and check what the grade, the doors and the setbacks allow.

02 /

Plan and quote

Size, height, materials, railing style and structure are set out in a detailed quote, along with permits where your municipality requires one.

03 /

Build

Footings, frame, decking, railings and stairs, with the yard protected and the site left tidy at the end of each day.

A walkthrough together, care notes for the material you chose, and any outstanding items closed out.

Common questions

Before you get in touch.

What does a deck cost in the Hudson area?

Size and material drive most of it. Pressure-treated framing with pressure-treated decking is the least expensive, cedar sits in the middle, and composite costs more up front and less to maintain. Height matters too — a raised deck needs guards, stairs and sometimes heavier footings. We quote per project after seeing the site.

Cedar, pressure-treated or composite — which lasts longer here?

Composite lasts longest with the least maintenance and never needs staining. Cedar looks best and stays cooler underfoot but wants a seal every couple of years. Pressure-treated is the value option and holds up well when it is built and fastened properly. All three work in this climate — the frame underneath is usually what fails first if it is done badly.

Do I need a permit to build a deck?

Usually yes. Hudson, Saint-Lazare, Vaudreuil-Dorion, Rigaud and Pincourt each set their own rules on size, height, setbacks and attachment to the house. We tell you what your project needs and handle the process where it applies.

When should a deck be built?

Anywhere from spring through late fall. Footings are the weather-sensitive part, so booking early in the season gives the most flexibility — summer slots fill first.

Are you licensed?

Yes. Corey Bowen Construction holds RBQ licence #5730-5286-01 and works with licensed trades where electrical or structural work is involved.
