“We have a beautiful new Wolf deck. Jake looked after getting the permit and variance for us and although the weather did not cooperate this spring, the guys worked rain and shine to complete the deck. Excellent craftmanship.”
The idea has been in your head, you want to maximize the enjoyment of your outdoor living space this upcoming summer season but you’re wondering when is the right time to call someone . Well, if you’ve been considering a new deck build or a re-vamp of your outdoor living space, now is the time to set the plan in motion. With spring just around the corner, deck builders are beginning to fill their calendars with projects. Starting the process early can add extra weeks and sometimes months to enjoying your deck and an opportunity at getting your project scheduled in early so that your deck can be enjoyed longer into the season.
The process involves many moving parts which all take time: A consult, quoting time, retainers to solidify your date in the calendar, permit pulling (which we all know can take some time with the City of Winnipeg), ordering material, scheduling screw piling and of course the biggest component weather.
To schedule a consult with OSBORNE CONSTRUCTION, please fill out the contact form on our website. If you can, provide some detail to the size and design of the deck, noting if anything is currently there that needs to be demo’d and if you would like our company to do so.

You’ve made the investment, your deck is complete, you now have a beautiful durable WOLF Serenity deck that friends are talking about and is now contributing to the over all enjoyment and quality of your outdoor living space. On top of that, you’ve made the investment of hiring a Wolf PRO, which gains you an additional 5 years on your 25 year stain & fade warranty for the cost of any additional labor.
With that being said, like all things in life, there is always a small responsibility of general maintenance that the consumer assumes to keep their deck looking young.
In short, ROUTINE CLEANING • At least twice per year is highly suggested.
Upon completion of your new WOLF Decking project, Osborne Construction will also provide you with the Care & Maintenance info sheet as a reminder of the general maintenance required. All customers will also be encouraged to to their WOLF Decking project to be registered in order to receive the extended warranty application for any warranty issues in the future.

Osborne Construction has been a proud member of the Wolf Pro program & community since 2019. With the Wolf Pro certification comes many additional benefits for a Homeowner looking to make a substantial investment on a maintenance-free deck, including an additional 5 years on your warranty for the cost of labor.

Having a rough idea on the size of your ideal outdoor living-space/custom deck & the layout/design is a start. Think about features and accessories that your considering, the must-have’s and wishes (ex. privacy fence/wall, pergola, lights, railing types, colour(s), wrap around stairs, multi-level, picture-frame etc).
Need some inspiration on style and layout? There are several sources available to help get an idea of what you want. Pinterest, Houzz, the Wolf Pro website, and our gallery of past projects & Instagram accont are all great resources. Keep in mind, Osborne Construction is not a design company so you will need to have a bit of an idea of what you are looking for to help make the consult flow a little easier; having a list of your must-haves and wishes as well as some pictures are a great way to help us get a better understanding for what you envision. Osborne Construction is happy to work alongside hardscape designers and their proposed designs/plans. Not using a designer or hardscape/landscaping company, 3D renderings for large-scale projects are available to Osborne Construction clients that have committed to a quote, rendering agreement and deposit to help visualize and finalize all the little details before construction begins. After all, this is a large investment and we want you to be extremely happy with the final result.
Below is a small sample of our custom maintenance-free decks, both large scale and small scale.

After completing a modern & contemporary re-vamp to the front exterior of their home, the lovely couple of this Charleswood home were ready to upgrade their almost 23 year old wood deck as a refresh to their outdoor living space that would match the feel & aesthetic of their new frontage.
Osborne Construction took the time to meet with the homeowners to discuss their current design and what features and upgrades they were looking to incorporate into their new deck. These homeowners had a very good idea upon meeting with Osborne Construction what they were looking for, from size, materials, and aesthetic features making the scope of the project very clear for Osborne Construction.
Upon solidifying the details of the project & signing a contract, the homeowners were eager to get the project underway with our company.
See their pre-existing deck prior to demolition below.
Starting with the Foundation Work
Osborne Construction removed the existing deck to start the new foundation on a clean slate. On this particular project, the homeowners choose to move forward with the suggested Post Tech Screw Piles.
Post tech screw piles offer a number of advantages over traditional concrete piles, especially in our climate. When building a custom deck for your forever home or making a substantial investment on a low-maintenance PVC or Composite Deck, Osborne Construction will almost always recommend Screw piles over traditional concrete. Here are just a few of the reasons why. https://postechpiles.com/thermal-piles/#piles-vs-concrete
The Finished Product
Loving the layout & flow of the original design, the homeowners choose to keep their new deck fairly consistent to the original plan with some new accessories; the decking was replaced with a beautiful pressure-treated Barefoot Brown wood which now features a 16 x 10 custom Pergola and a wrap-around stair case. Some may ask, why a Pergola, what’s the point? Pergola’s offer many great benefits, and in this case, it created a beautiful visual aesthetic that not only defines a hosting space on the deck but adds an element that allowed these plant loving homeowners to hang flower baskets.
This 320 square foot deck was completed in a little over a week during the early summer months of 2020. Have any questions about the details of this deck and rough investment on a project similar to this style and design, contact Osborne Construction.
