Coquitlam

Why people here call us

Most of the Coquitlam work we do is on the slopes — Westwood Plateau, Burke Mountain, the streets climbing north from Como Lake. Those houses tend to have a walk-out basement, a deck one storey up and a view worth keeping, and the design problem is covering the deck without closing the view down.

We have been building outdoor structures on the West Coast since 1987. Everything is designed, quoted and installed by our own people out of our Langley shop, Coquitlam included.

On the ground

What building here actually involves

These are the things that change the design before anyone talks about colours and finishes.

01

Covering a raised deck

A deck a storey off the ground is a different job from a patio on grade. The posts land on the deck structure rather than on soil, so what that structure can carry decides the design — and it is the first thing we look at, not the last.

02

Not losing the view

The reason these houses are where they are is what you can see from them. A glass roof, a clear-span design and posts placed at the edges rather than through the middle keep the outlook that a solid, heavily framed cover would quietly take away.

03

Two levels, one design

Walk-out basements mean two outdoor spaces stacked on each other, and covering the upper one turns the lower one into usable dry space for free. It is worth designing them together rather than solving the top deck and finding out later what it did to the patio underneath.

04

Newer homes, cleaner attachments

Much of Coquitlam's housing stock is recent, which usually means a straight fascia and a predictable structure behind it. That makes attached covers simpler here than on older housing — but we still measure on site rather than assume the drawings match what was built.

Questions

Coquitlam questions

All FAQs

Do you build in Coquitlam?

Regularly, including Westwood Plateau, Burke Mountain and the older neighbourhoods below them. Our shop is in Langley and the crews install right across the city.
Yes, and a good share of our Coquitlam work is exactly that. What matters is what the existing deck can carry, so we look at its structure on site before quoting anything that sits on it.
It does not have to. Glass or polycarbonate roofing, a clear span and posts kept to the edges preserve the outlook. If the view is the reason you are out there, say so early and the design follows from it.
Covering the upper deck usually makes the space below it dry and usable, which people often do not expect. We look at both levels together so the result is two spaces rather than one.
It depends on the structure and the property, and requirements are not the same in every municipality. We go through what your specific build involves at the quoting stage and tell you what you will need to apply for.
