About Hickory Dickory Decks

Custom builders of decks and gazebo's creating the ultimate backyard paradise. At Hickory Dickory Decks, our aim is to be the best quality and service oriented company in the deck business. Our business is built on satisfied customers, one deck at a time.We began by using composite decking materials. These products have many advantages over wooden decks. No more staining, peeling, no slivers, no cracking, no warping, no twisting, and a better non-slip surface. We are the largest composite deck builder in Canada and have over 1,500 of these installed. This "maintenance-free" decking is over 85 percent of our business today and will never need staining but does require an occasional bath. Every year we find crews hundreds of miles away working on projects referred by one of our satisfied customers. They will travel world wide to work with great customers on their custom deck. In 2005, Hickory Dickory Decks became a stocking dealer of the leading easy-care/maintenance-free deck products. We carry Xtendex, Weatherbest, Correct Deck, Procel, Veka, Trex, Dexx, EZ Deck, Weatherdeck, Monarch, Deck Lok and Lifelong Decking. They also can special order any other composite deck of your choice.
