Why Choose Port Moody Decks & Patio Covers for Your Home?
Port Moody’s got that West Coast mix—hot summer days, chilly fall evenings, and plenty of rain the rest of the time. That’s exactly why we focus on building decks and covers that do more than look good. They help you actually use your outdoor space, even when the weather flips on you. With a solid patio cover and a tough deck underneath, your backyard becomes that go-to spot all year long.
Premier Grounds Contracting Ltd. has taken on projects all over Port Moody—yep, everything from Anmore to Belcarra and into Heritage Woods. We’ve built with soggy winters and mountain views in mind. Every area’s different, but we’ve spent enough time here to know what works and what really doesn’t.
What Services Fall Under Port Moody Decks & Patio Covers?
When folks hear Port Moody Decks & Patio Covers, they usually picture a basic wood platform and some shade. But we do a whole lot more. Here’s some of the stuff we work on:
- Custom deck builds: Choose between composite, wood, or even fully waterproof setups—whatever fits your space and your energy level for upkeep.
- Multi-level options & railings: Great if your place has a slope or if you want something more unique than a plain rectangle.
- Patio covers & pergola styles: Go with open-beamed, modern louvered, or fully covered setups—it all depends on how much rain or sun you want to deal with.
- Built-in shade solutions: Stuff like retractable awnings or sails that feel like part of the build, not an afterthought.
- Rainproof layers: Water’s kind of a given around here, so we work in waterproofing options that’ll keep things dry for the long haul.
We also throw in things like matchy outdoor lighting, upgraded safety railings, and fixing drainage with new downspouts or gutters. Basically, it’s all about making the whole space feel good to use, even during a week of rain.
What to Know Before Hiring for Port Moody Decks & Patio Covers
We had a job over in College Park that looked pretty simple—but the start got held up for weeks ‘cause nobody sorted the permit. That’s the stuff that slows things down. If you’re thinking about Port Moody Decks & Patio Covers, it helps to look ahead a bit. Here’s what to think through first:
- Permits: Bigger decks, especially ones past 10 square meters, usually need approved permits. Port Moody’s rules change depending where you live. Check the city’s permit info page—it’ll help.
- Build time: Smaller, straight builds don’t take that long. More layered ones—multi-level or customized patio covers—can take a couple of weeks, more if the weather’s bad.
- Best season: Spring through early fall is the busy time for outdoor projects. Wet winters make things slower, for sure.
- Cost stuff: Wood decks might fall around $25–$45 per square foot. Composite or elevated decks are usually pricier up front but cheaper to keep up later on.
- Picking the right material: Wood’s got that natural feel but takes work. Composite is the set-it-and-forget-it choice. We help you stack up the pros and cons before deciding.
Thinking about hardscaping too? No problem—we also design and install patios, garden paths, and retaining walls so the deck fits what’s already there.
Caring for Your Deck and Patio Cover
Rain, salt in the air, freezing nights—Port Moody weather can be rough on decks. Keeping up with a few basic things every now and then helps a ton. No need to stress, just keep it regular:
- Seal your wood every couple years to keep out water and help stop fading.
- Clear leaves and gunk from gutters and the roof of your cover to prevent leaks and soggy spots.
- Each spring, do a walk-around and check for rust, loose bolts, and anything looking sketchy on your railing or framing.
- Use a power washer once a year to wash off the grime from winter.
A little maintenance here and there saves you from big repairs later—and keeps the whole thing looking sharp.

FAQs About Port Moody Decks & Patio Covers
What permits do I need for a deck or patio cover in Port Moody?
Most decks over 10 square meters need a building permit from the city. Same goes for patio covers. Info and forms are on the city’s website if you want to start there.
How long does it take to build a typical deck?
If it’s a small, basic deck—just a few days. Bigger projects with custom elements and covers usually take longer, especially if rain gets in the way.
What’s the best time of year for deck installation in Port Moody?
Late spring through early fall is best for speed and dryness. Winter months can hold things up with wet ground and cold snaps.
What materials should I choose for a low-maintenance deck?
Go with composite if you want to skip the upkeep. Wood’s nice but needs way more sealing and attention over the years.
Can a patio cover be customized for weather protection?
Totally. We offer louvered and sealed options so you can either get full coverage or adjust things based on the weather.
Do you offer related outdoor services besides decks and patio covers?
Yep! We do lighting setups, fencing, drainage upgrades, stonework, retaining walls—you name it. If it’s outdoors, we probably build it.
How often should I maintain my deck?
Once a year is usually enough. Wood needs sealing every 2–3 years, and a good cleaning plus a bolt check every spring doesn’t hurt either.
Are multi-level decks more expensive?
Yeah, they cost more. But they also fit sloped land and give you more room. You get what you pay for in layout and flexibility.
Can I get a free quote before committing?
Of course. We’ll put together a clear no-pressure quote so you know what you’re in for—no mysteries or surprise add-ons.
Does Premier Grounds Contracting provide warranty or follow-up after installation?
Absolutely. Once we’re done, we don’t just disappear. We back our work and hang around to answer questions or fix something if it’s needed.
