Spend your weekends doing fun stuff. We'll help you design the perfect patio for your home, and we’ll coordinate the installation with our qualified installers. Yes, it’s that easy!
Réno-Dépôt will guide you throughout the entire project. As a first step, you need to submit your information by filling out our online form. Following this step, you will discuss with one of our specialists to develop a first draft of your plan. You will discuss the materials, the colors as well as the different services offered.
Once you have finalized your project and it has been approved, our service provider will contact you within 3 to 5 business days to come over and take the measurements of your land. The plans will be made based on these measurements and will be reviewed by our designers. Once everything is completed, you will approve and sign the sales contract. This step will allow for the order of the materials needed for your project. Please note that no cancellation is possible at this stage.
The installer will then contact you to plan and organize the installation of your new deck or patio. It is important to remember that the removal of your old installation (deck or patio) is not included in our basic service but can be added at an additional cost. Finally, once the work is completed, your installer will inspect everything with you to ensure your satisfaction and clean up the site before leaving.
Pressure-treated wood
Treated wood remains the most used material because its low cost and its simple and minimal maintenance; It only requires to be pressure-washed and stained annually and refinished every 3 years.
Cedar

Composite
This versatile material has a regular grain and is available in various colors. Composite is popular since it is known to lasts at least twice as long if treated wood if properly maintained. It should be cleaned one to three times a year with a push broom. Remember that some liquids can leave stains and scuffs and scratches are very likely.
Before going into the details, you need to calculate the approximate size of the deck or the patio. You need to make sure that there is enough space for each activity as well as for the number of people who will be using the different areas. If you are unsure, it is recommended to calculate 100 ft2 per person. If the terrain is steep and you want to delimit various activity areas, a multi-level patio or deck is a good solution. If everything is well thought out, a multi-level patio or deck can also avoid the need for a railing and stairs.
Next, you need to create a site plan of your yard. This should include the outline of the house, property lines, buried utilities, existing exterior structures, and exterior siding and landscaping. It is essential to identify any items that need to be moved or retained on the property. You must also add notes and references related to the land of the neighbors and identify the characteristics or equipment located outside the limits of the property, but which have an influence on the design of the deck or patio.
