Why Us

Our Deck Contractors Services

We help homeowners with deck projects of all sizes, so you can get exactly what you need. Our deck contractors handle new deck design and construction from scratch, as well as deck installation, repairs, and full deck replacement.

Custom Deck Design & Construction

Our deck designer creates your deck from the ground up, start to finish. But we don’t create a “custom” plan just to call it custom. We work with you to understand how you want to use the space, what you like visually, and what makes sense for your home. The result is a deck that looks right, feels comfortable, and is built for you. Our design is created with your feedback in mind, and we start building only after your approval.

Deck Replacement & Resurfacing

If you don’t need a brand-new deck from scratch, our deck contractors can work with what you already have. We can replace your deck entirely, designing and building a new one that fits your home. Or, if the frame is still in good shape and you’re happy with the layout, we can provide deck resurfacing for the existing deck to make it look new without replacing it entirely.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I discovered that the wall-to-wall carpeting in my house was hiding the most gorgeous hardwood floors, I knew I had to have them restored to their original mid-century beauty. I shopped around for a contractor, but I pretty much knew right when I met him that Matthew & his team were the right guys for the job: he saw my vision, had a “can-do” attitude, came in with the most competitive estimate, & then started two weeks later. The crew are fantastic: knowledgeable, hard-working, quick-thinking, polite & funny, clean, & respectful. As if that’s not enough, just as they were wrapping up my flooring job, I discovered a leak in the roof of my garage - once again, Millennial to the rescue, with a fair estimate for a thorough solution, and fixed only two days later. I doubt I’ll ever go anywhere else for any future repairs or renos. I’m very, very happy with the work & service the Millennial guys provided. (Before & after photos of my floors below!)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt and his team finished a complete bathroom reno in Lancaster last week and did a terrific job. The design solved all of the issues and it feels much bigger, brighter with more storage space. I would definitely work with his team again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We contacted Millennial Contracting regarding a small basement bathroom renovation.  We first spoke to Zoe on the phone and she asked what exactly we were looking for so that Matt knew what we wanted before he even came to give us an estimate. Matt was very professional and had great ideas on how to achieve what we were looking for. We signed a 6 week contract, which was started within 2 weeks of signing, and they were done within 5.5 weeks. Matt's team was on time, friendly, professional, hard working, and always had time to answer any questions we might have.  The site was left tidy every night.  Paper was laid to protect our floors and plastic was hung to try to minimize the dust throughout the rest of the house. The project manager Shawn was on top of everything and went above and beyond to fix an oversight. The plumbing and electrical subcontractors were also very professional. We would not hesitate to recommend Millennial Contracting to anyone, and would definitely hire them again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Millenial Contracting to remodel our main bathroom and add a laundry room on the upper level of our home. We are very happy with the outcome! The process went smoothly and the final product truly impressed. We will be hiring them again to renovate our main floor.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with contractors was a nightmare: they wouldn’t give me a straight answer and never returned phone calls.   Millennial contracting returned my call promptly, made an appointment with me right away to discuss options and provided a quick appraisal quote.   The following spring they promptly started the work.   They were very professional.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently did a garage reno and was very happy with everything right from the day of the estimate to the end of the build. They were thorough with the estimate and the pricing never changed. The workers were here everyday ready to go and cleaned up at the end of the day. Any questions i had were answered or directed to someone who could. I would definitely recommend them to anyone doing a reno and will keep them in mind on any future renos we decide to do.

Why Us

Premium Materials for Every Budget

To suit homes and budgets all across Cornwall, ON, we build custom decks in both composite and wood materials. Composite is a durable blend of wood and plastic, while wood is an option for everyone who likes classics. We’ll help you choose the right material for your home.

Composite Deck Installation

Compositedeck installation starts with a frame. Then our deck contractors install the boards with the right spacing, keep everything straight, and fasten it down cleanly (often with hidden fasteners) so you don’t see a bunch of screws. If you need stairs, railings, or trim boards, we build and install those, too, so the deck looks cohesive. You end up with a low-maintenance deck that doesn’t need staining and holds up well over time.

Wood Deck Construction: Pressure Treated & Cedar

For wood deck construction, we use pressure-treated lumber for the frame because it’s strong and can handle moisture and insects. For the surface, many homeowners choose cedar because it looks warm and resists rot well. Cedar also takes stain and other finishes easily. We make sure the structure is properly supported and fastened, then install boards, steps, and railings with clean lines and proper spacing. With basic upkeep, wood decks can last for many years in Ontario.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does Deck Installation Cost

The cost typically ranges from $40 to $80 per square foot, varying widely depending on whether you choose pressure-treated wood, cedar, or premium composite materials. Additional factors like site preparation, permit fees, and custom features such as railings or built-in lighting will also influence the final budget. Millennial Contracting Inc. provides transparent, itemized quotes to ensure you get the best possible value for your outdoor investment in Cornwall.

What Is Deck Resurfacing

Deck resurfacing involves replacing the visible deck boards, railings, and stairs while keeping the existing structural frame and footing system intact. This process is a cost-effective alternative to a complete rebuild, provided the underlying structure is sound and rot-free. Millennial Contracting Inc. can inspect your current framing to determine if resurfacing is a safe and viable option for rejuvenating your backyard space.

Do I Need a Building Permit for a Deck in Cornwall?

In most cases, yes; the City of Cornwall typically requires a building permit if the deck is more than 24 inches above the ground or if it is physically attached to your home. Building without a permit can result in costly fines and issues with future property sales. Millennial Contracting Inc. handles the entire permit application process, ensuring your new deck is fully compliant with all local zoning and safety bylaws.

Is Composite Decking Better Than Pressure-Treated Wood?

Composite decking generally offers superior durability and requires significantly less maintenance than wood, as it resists rot, fading, and insect damage without the need for annual staining. However, pressure-treated wood remains a popular choice due to its lower upfront cost and natural aesthetic appeal. Millennial Contracting Inc. will walk you through the pros and cons of each material to help you choose the best option for your budget and lifestyle.

How Long Does a Custom Deck Last in the Cornwall Climate?

A well-maintained pressure-treated wood deck typically lasts 15 to 20 years, whereas high-quality composite decks can last 25 years or more, even with the freeze-thaw cycles typical of Ontario winters. The longevity of any deck depends heavily on the quality of the installation and regular maintenance. Millennial Contracting Inc. utilizes construction techniques specifically designed to withstand our local weather conditions, such as using proper frost-depth footings (like helical piles) to prevent heaving.

Can You Incorporate Privacy Screens or Built-In Seating?

Absolutely, custom features like privacy screens, built-in benches, and planter boxes are excellent ways to enhance both the functionality and style of your deck. These additions can be designed to match your decking material perfectly, creating a cohesive outdoor living area. Millennial Contracting Inc. specializes in custom carpentry and can integrate these unique elements seamlessly into your deck design.
