Your custom deck is designed to suit your home, your lifestyle and your budget. Custom decks are made from a variety of materials including wood, composite and vinyl decking. Decks can be built to maximize yard space, property value, backyard views or other preferred aspects of the home or outdoor living space.
Designing a custom deck is an exciting opportunity to create plans for your future decking system. Every design consideration and major appliances can be planned into the overall design of your custom deck. But where do you start?
You custom deck design should be based on the major goals of a deck. Consider what your deck will be used for the most. Consult Mountain View Sun Decks today, to learn how we can help design and build your ideal decking system.
One of the first considerations of a custom deck design is the style of the deck as well as the materials selected for future construction. Homes with above grade exteriors or that aim to allow for outdoor access from upper levels can often benefit from a multilevel, two-storey or raised decking system. While bungalows or flat property lots will often go forward with a platform or freestanding deck design. Vinyl, PVC, and Composite decking material are more durable though a wood deck can be very weather-resilient still and cost much less for materials.
One major consideration of your deck design process is how to get the most from your backyard views. Of course, not every home backs onto a golf course, ravine, river or one of Alberta’s stunning lakes. Though, getting the most from your views can simply mean utilizing a decking system that promotes viewing outwards, rather than directly at your own fence and an alleyway. One misconception is the higher is better for viewing. Though, for homes that have a well-maintained and colorful backyard, this can be much more visually appealing than any view nearby. Thus a platform deck would best suit this home’s exterior design. Design your deck to maximize your viewing experiences in order to create a relaxing and outdoorsy setting.
Size and spacing are major considerations of any deck design. Considerations toward room for guests, tables, benches, appliances, and more will ensure that your deck is never lacking. Though, homeowners have to also think about how the construction of the deck size will impact the final aesthetics, as well as how much of their yard space they are willing to give to the decking system. At Mountain View Sun Decks, we can help you plan for a deck that offers space for all your design and functionality ideas, while not overtaking your existing yard space.
When designing your deck, various specific considerations will impact the material selection as well as the appropriate deck style, location, flow and size. For example, a wood deck may not be ideal for high sun exposure, high traffic or water features, as wood can fade, splinter and rot. These are 7 key questions to ask during every deck design process:

“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.
