Decks & Fencing Built for Southern Ontario Homes
Extend Your Living Space with Expertly Built Decks & Fencing
Your backyard is an extension of your home. A well-built deck turns unused outdoor space into a place where your family actually gathers for summer dinners, weekend barbecues, and quiet mornings with coffee. The right fence, combined with proper landscaping, gives you privacy, defines your property, and adds a finished, polished look to your entire yard.
At Tech Home Renovations, we design and build decks and fences that are made for real Ontario life. That means structures engineered to handle freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and humid summers without warping, heaving, or rotting in five years. From roofing to outdoor structures, we serve homeowners across Southern Ontario, including Hamilton, Kitchener, London, and the surrounding region.
The numbers back it up: a professionally built deck can return up to 80% of its cost at resale, according to industry data. Quality fencing adds privacy and security while boosting curb appeal two factors that matter to every buyer in the Ontario market.
Our Decks & Fencing Services
We build and install a full range of decking and fencing solutions across Southern Ontario. Every project is custom-planned to suit your property layout, your lifestyle, and the specific demands of the Canadian climate.
01
Pressure-Treated Wood Decks
Pressure-treated lumber remains the most popular decking material in Ontario it’s affordable, strong, and performs reliably through harsh winters. Modern pressure-treated wood is treated to resist rot, insects, and moisture. Properly built and maintained, a PT wood deck can last 25 to 30 years. We use only ground-contact rated material for posts and structural members.
02
Composite & PVC Decking
Today’s composite and PVC decking looks like real wood but needs almost no upkeep, no annual staining, no splinters, no rot. Brands like Trex and TimberTech are engineered to resist fading, staining, and mold through Ontario’s humid summers. For homeowners who want a beautiful deck without the maintenance, composite is the clear choice.
03
Multi-Level & Custom Design Decks
Not every yard is flat and not every family wants a basic rectangle. We design and build multi-level, wraparound, and custom configurations that work with your property’s grade and how you want the space to function. Built-in benches, planters, pergola posts, and lighting rough-ins can all be incorporated at the build stage.
04
Deck Repairs & Refinishing
An aging deck doesn’t always need full replacement. We assess structural integrity first posts, beams, joists, and ledger connections then replace boards, repair railings, and refinish the surface where the bones are sound. Years of additional life at a fraction of replacement cost.
05
Privacy & Shadowbox Fencing
A solid or shadowbox fence turns your yard into a true outdoor room blocking sightlines from neighbours and street traffic. We build privacy fencing in wood, composite, and vinyl, with post spacing and footing depths designed to survive Ontario frost heave year after year.
06
Picket, Rail & Decorative Fencing
Not every fence needs to be solid. Picket and rail styles define property lines and add character without closing off the yard. Decorative aluminum and vinyl options offer a clean, low-maintenance finish. We help you choose a style that suits your home and complies with local municipal setback requirements.

How We Build Every Deck & Fence Project
Outdoor structures built without proper planning fail fast. Frost heave lifts improperly set posts. Undersized beams deflect under load. Permit violations lead to forced removal. Our process prevents all of that from the first site visit to the final walkthrough.
Site Assessment & Design Consultation
We visit your property and assess the layout, grade, soil conditions, and how the new structure will connect to your home. We discuss how you plan to use the space entertaining, privacy, safety for children or pets and translate that into a practical design that works with your yard, not against it.
Permits & Ontario Building Code Compliance
In Ontario, decks attached to a home and over 24 inches above grade typically require a building permit. Fences near property lines may also require municipal approval depending on your municipality. We handle the permit process and build to Ontario Building Code specifications so your structure is legal, insurable, and safe.
Material Selection & Sourcing
Once the design is approved, we walk you through material options in detail. We explain the real-world differences between wood, composite, and vinyl in terms of upfront cost, maintenance requirements, and expected lifespan. We source materials from trusted suppliers and handle all procurement, so you don't have to coordinate deliveries or manage timing.
Professional Construction & Installation
Our crews build with care and precision at every stage. Posts are set below the frost line a minimum of 4 feet in most of Southern Ontario to prevent movement through freeze-thaw cycles. Structural connections are made with exterior-rated hardware. Decking boards are spaced and fastened correctly for drainage and long-term stability.
Final Walkthrough & Finishing Details
When construction is complete, we walk the finished project with you. We check every railing, gate latch, step, and board edge together. The site is left clean all offcuts, packaging, and debris removed. We review any maintenance recommendations so you know exactly how to protect your investment going forward.
Modern Siding Systems That Protect, Insulate, and Impress
Your siding does more than make your home look good. It acts as a critical barrier against Ontario’s harsh winters, driving rain, and summer humidity. When siding fails or was never installed correctly moisture gets in. That leads to rot, mold, insulation damage, and skyrocketing energy bills.
At Tech Home Renovations, we’ve perfected the watershed and enveloping systems that make siding truly perform. We combine modern, high-performance materials with expert installation to give your home lasting protection and serious curb appeal. We serve homeowners across Southern Ontario, from Hamilton and Kitchener to London and beyond.
A quality siding upgrade isn’t just cosmetic. According to industry research, new siding can recoup over 75% of its cost at resale making it one of the highest-ROI exterior improvements you can make.

TESTIMONIALS
What Do People Say?
Mark & Jennifer W.
Hamilton, Ontario
"Tech Home Renovations treated our home like their own. From the first walkthrough to the final clean‑up, Ryan was on site every day making sure the work met his standards, not just ours. The new siding and steel roof look incredible, and we noticed the house is noticeably warmer and quieter already. We felt informed at every step and never had to wonder what was happening next."
Sandra L.
Kitchener, Ontario
"We were nervous about choosing colours and materials for such a big exterior renovation, but Tech Home Renovations walked us through computer renderings so we could see different options on our actual home before committing. That extra step made all the difference. The finished project matched the renderings perfectly, and the workmanship on the windows, doors, and eavestroughs is top‑notch."
Daniel P.

"As a property manager, consistency and communication matter more than anything. Tech Home Renovations has delivered both on multiple projects. Ryan isn’t just the person quoting the job – he’s the one on site leading the crew, checking details, and updating us with written notices and friendly check‑ins. Our timelines were respected, the sites were kept clean, and the quality of the exterior envelope work has been excellent."
Elaine & Robert M.
London, Ontario
"We hired Tech Home Renovations to replace our old windows, doors, and fascia, and the whole experience was smooth from start to finish. The crew was respectful, on time, and very careful around our landscaping. You can tell this is a family business that takes pride in putting their name on every project. Our home looks brand new and we’re already seeing energy savings."

FAQ's
Yes, in most cases. A building permit is required for any deck attached to the house with a surface more than 24 inches above grade, or any freestanding deck over 24 inches high with an area greater than 10 square metres (about 108 sq ft). Your contractor should handle the permit application — building without one creates problems with insurance and resale.
A basic pressure-treated wood deck runs $25–$45 per square foot installed. Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech) runs $50–$80 per square foot. For a typical 300–400 sq ft deck, expect $8,000–$20,000+ depending on material, complexity, and site conditions. Multi-level designs and custom features add to the total.
Posts must be set below the frost line — a minimum of 4 feet in most of Southern Ontario — to prevent frost heave from lifting and shifting the structure. This is non-negotiable in Ontario's climate. Posts set in shallow footings are the single most common reason fences and decks fail within a few years.
Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech, Fiberon) is the top choice for low maintenance and longevity — it resists rot, mold, fading, and freeze-thaw damage, with 25-year warranties standard. Pressure-treated wood is the most affordable and still performs well if properly maintained. Cedar offers a natural look but requires annual staining and costs more than PT lumber.
It varies by municipality, but the general standard across Southern Ontario is 1.2 metres (4 ft) in front yards and up to 2.0 metres (6 ft) in side and rear yards. Pool enclosures have stricter requirements. Always confirm with your local municipality before building — fence height violations can require costly removal.
