Deck builders in Ajax.

Ajax, population 126,000, is a Durham Region community on Lake Ontario's northern shore. The city's lakefront communities in Pickering Beach offer excellent locations for decks with water views. Ajax's suburban character means most homes have standard 300–500 sq ft backyard lots suited for composite or pressure-treated decks. Labour costs are $18–$25 per sq ft. Permits are processed through the Town of Ajax building department with typical turnaround of 2–4 weeks.

Ontario's 100+ annual freeze-thaw cycles test every decking material. Composite and PVC handle this stress better than wood, which tends to crack and splinter after a few winters.
