I’m having a deck built in Fruitvale, but I’m not sure what material to have it made from. What are the pros and cons of each type of decking material?

Decks can be built from a variety of materials, most commonly wood, composite or vinyl. Choosing the right material comes down to a few factors, such as budget, longevity and required maintenance.

Wood can have a more traditional look, and if you choose pressure-treated, it can have considerable longevity. Wooden decks can be painted or stained in any colour, and they tend to be more affordable. However, over time, they are also vulnerable to damage from insects, mould and other factors, necessitating yearly maintenance.

Composite decking looks similar to wood, but it doesn’t splinter or require frequent repainting to prevent rot. Overall, it’s a low-maintenance option. However, composite boards can get scratched from regular use and may fade in the sun. In terms of price, composite decking falls somewhere in-between wood and vinyl.

Vinyl or PVC decking is our personal favourite. It can come at a higher price point compared to other materials, but the durability and aesthetics make it worth the investment. Vinyl is exceptionally water-resistant and won’t fade or require repainting over time. It also won’t decay or mould, making it famously low-maintenance.

Don’t forget railings! We’ll help bring the beauty of your home to a new level with aluminum railings. They can provide your property with a great aesthetic look and are cost-effective. We use RAIL-K-ING railings that can withstand the toughest weather conditions.

How do I know I’m choosing the best painters in the West Kootenay?

There are a few things to look for when hiring painters. Most (including us) will offer a free quote and perhaps an on-site assessment. Because the cost of painting can vary depending on the size of the space and other factors, it’s critical to get an accurate estimate before you get started.

Another point to consider is whether the painters are experienced and fully qualified to do the job. All our staff members are certified experts in their field.

Finally, take a look at a company’s past projects and inquire about their local reputation. We have a gallery showing some of our work, and we are known across the West Kootenay region for being excellent painters.

What is a waterproofing contractor?

As waterproofing contractors, our job is to prevent water from getting in and damaging your building. We can use several different approaches, such as spraying on protective sealants, or installing waterproofing or drainage systems.

How we go about the job depends on whether the damage has already been done. Sometimes we have to rectify a major problem. Other times, it’s simply a homeowner being proactive and preventing a future basement leak. Either way, we can keep your building warm and dry with our waterproofing technology.

How do I know if I need to hire a waterproofing contractor?

Anyone with a basement could use the services of a waterproofing contractor. Ideally, we like to prevent any water damage in the first place by sealing any necessary gaps and points where leaks could occur or moisture could penetrate. New homeowners frequently enlist our help to protect their investments.

We can also assist if prior waterproofing had not been done, resulting in damage. We can clean up the area and install a new, functional waterproofing system (such as the V-KOTE TEK) that will last for years to come.
