When designing a custom deck solution, your staircase cannot be overlooked. Deck stairs can be built as part of a new decking system or can be built as a renovation or addition to an existing deck system. Stairs create a more accessible and complete deck design.
Deck stairs can be built from several different materials, including cedar, pressured wood, aluminum or vinyl. Stairs can be made in a straight, platform pivoted or in curved patterns. Staircase deck railings can match the deck system or be made from separate materials.
Your deck stairs offer a similar level of customization as the decking itself. Let the staircase design and build experts at Mountain View Sun Decks help with your next deck staircase projects. We can help with the design, permitting, installation and clean up.
A custom deck stair design and build project allow a homeowner to craft the perfect staircase for their deck needs and budget. Your deck design can influence this decision. For example, shorter decks that touch the ground may want a wrap around or wider staircase. A raised decking system may prefer winding; platform pivoted or elongated straight staircases. The materials used in the staircase, as well as their finished and colours, can all be selected in order to craft the perfect stairs for your deck and to match the home exterior.
Wood deck stairs are inexpensive, very customisable and create a warm atmosphere leading up to your deck space. Wood deck stairs can be stained or painted to offer increased moisture protection and longevity while providing limitless colour options. The two major forms of wood decks are:
Both of these wood staircase options have respective benefits. With proper installations, both cedar and pressure treated staircases can be beautiful, safe and effective for years to come. Contact Mountain View Sun Decks to help with all your deck stair design and installation needs.
Aluminum stairs are durable, offer a range of custom options and do not rust. The stairs can face some levels of oxidization, though an annual clean keeps the stairs looking new. Aluminum stairs are commonly crafted in a stringer style and can be made with non-slip surfaces. Vinyl and PVC covers can also be applied to aluminum stairs to better suit the look of the deck system and home exterior. The stairs also do not retain heat, meaning they will never be painful to walk on during hot days.
Polyvinyl Chloride or PVC is made in rigid and flexible forms. Rigid PVC is better for construction and piping, while softer PVC is better for signage, wraps and more. Soft stair wrap PVC is made more flexible by adding more plasticizers to the initial formula. The soft PVC wraps are commonly applied to aluminum stars to improve the look of the staircase. Similar to aluminum PVS do not retain heat, ensuring a comfortable staircase in even the hottest summer days.
Vinyl stairs are installed by applying durable vinyl wraps on to the exteriors of pressure treated or aluminum deck stairs. Vinyl covers can be crafted with a range of colours and textured finishes. Vinyl stairs can even utilises wood-like grain finishes to match a wood deck or the wooden staircase. Vinyl is ideal for reducing the worry of splinters from wooden stairs and requires very minimal maintenance over the years the material can last.

“We are very pleased with the work Mountain View Sun Decks did for us. They were on time, efficient and did an excellent job. We highly recommend them for any deck/railing work!"
"Our glass house in the sky" These fellows managed to build our sun room onto a second floor balcony straight up from the outside...The project was finished on time and on budget, despite all the wet weather. Bravo, Mountain View Sun Decks!
Hi Steven, Happy Friday!!!! Just wanted to say hi and that I love my deck. The guys finished up Wednesday evening. I haven't had time to really enjoy my deck yet but hopefully this weekend I will. Thanks again for all your patience and help with getting this completed and to what I was looking for. I have all of July and August to enjoy my deck now and hopefully September. Have a wonderful weekend. April
Rebuilt the deck at the back of the house;because of cost we kept the same footprint as the previous deck;workmanship was excellent, the deck flooring is exceptional, almost like the extension of the inside flooring, loved the enclosed stairwell and the changes to the railing; very clean exit after job was complete, no delays in getting the work done;very pleased; in hindsight we should have spent the extra money for a tiered deck that we had in mind.
Our experience with the company and its employees, for the most part, has been excellent. The deck was enlarged and updated with dura deck vinyl covering, aluminium powder coated rails and lightly tinted glass over ten years ago, and it still looks great. Additional upgraded railings, opaque glass and a gate were later added. From the initial meeting with the sales representative to the completion of the project, the costs were on budget and on time. The quality of workmanship performed and professionalism of their employees can be considered first rate. The best part of having a Mountain View Sun Deck is not having to do any maintenance, just sit back and enjoy.
We had our old deck replaced. Complete removal and new installation. The work was performed during the winter and completed on time and budget to our complete satisfaction.
They came and put down my deck in record time. Looks beautiful. It was a difficult job because of a previous contractor had failed. They turned things around and left us very happy.
I hired Ewald and his team to replace a old wrought iron circular staircase off my desk with a traditional set of stairs in all aluminum. They were excellent to work with and I'd do business with them again anytime. Very professional, humble, creative, extremely detail orientated and excellent customer service from everyone. Price was fair and nothing negative to suggest about the product or service. Highly recommended!
Great staff, great owner, great service....could not be happier with my custom deck they built for me in 2015 and the issues they caught and fixed during the build. A great company and team....I would highly recommend. No corners cut....just quality product and service. Rod C.
Mountain View Sundecks installed an exterior staircase from out upper deck to the ground on our house. We were very pleased with this install. They were very responsive, met our schedule and came in at the price they quoted. I highly recommend them.
