Deck Builders Halifax
Russell
Zebra Deck is a small company servicing the Halifax and South Shore area. We try to keep our expenses as low as possible. We do not have unnecessary costs for the showroom and office; we do not have sales agents; we do not have subcontractors. Most likely, I will build your deck or my business partner and helpers. This strategy allows us to keep our prices at a significantly lower level (sometimes in 1.5 – 2 times) than competitors. We are also interested in the positive results of our work because it allows us to develop our business. Zebra is deck builders who have built more than a hundred decks, from small square patio to huge multilevel composite decks. Decks with unique details – railings, stair designs, benches, planter boxes, screens, and pergolas

Why Our Decks Are Better
At Zebra Deck, we are committed to enhancing both the experience of living in your property and increasing the value of it. Our decks are technically perfect. They are sturdy, reliable, look stylish, and built using the best materials and up to date technologies. We always use only hand-selected wood. Also, we offer a 5 years Limited Warranty for all of our decks. This diagram shows some design features of our decks and the hardware that we use.
3D Deck Design Service
We visualize deck design for our customers. CAD plus rendering deck design makes it easy to understand what your beautiful deck will look like.
The Largest Selection Of Railings
We offer the catalog with an extensive selection of deck railing systems and privacy screens for the design of beautiful, code-compliant decks.
We Use The Best Available Hardware
We always use the proper construction techniques, the best materials, deck brackets, and contemporary fasteners to make your deck safe and robust.
We Double The Life Expectancy Of Your Deck
We apply the waterproof membrane to tops of joists, around posts, and over ledger boards to protect against rotting and water damage.
Craftsmanship
We love our work very much and have a perfectionist look at the smallest deck elements. We never cut corners to finish a project faster. The goal is always to make the deck stronger, more precise, and more beautiful.
Happy clients
We do not have even a single one client dissatisfied with our work. Customer satisfaction is a prerequisite for the completion of the project. We can provide recommendations on 100% of our projects.
One job at a time
We refuse to work more than one job at a time. Most of the companies will lock a customer in by beginning a project and then move on to another job site before the first one is finished. We are trying to complete the project on time.
Service
Our work style is personal customer service. We are a small company where the owner will personally control the entire building process and answer your questions. We don’t have any salesmen or subcontractors.
Creative design
We have vast experience in implementing the most complex and incredible projects. We build modern, technically advanced, and stylish decks. Any even the most unusual design of a deck, pergola or fence is possible with Zebra.
Value
We are a small company and can maintain prices at an affordable level. Very often, our price includes what other companies charge extra money. Customers always receive more than they expect for the money paid.
Deck Skirting
Deck skirting can be an attractive feature that can be added to any low level deck. We use vertical or horizontal board as well as lattice panels to build a wall around the bottom of your deck. Desks skirting not only protects space under the deck but also looks like an attractive design element.
Deck Benches
Benches are almost indispensable if a finished deck is to be useful. Besides providing seating, they can funnel foot traffic, separate areas for different activities, provide railings for low-level decks (and for high-level decks if they have backs), and serve as sunbathing lounges, tables and plant display platforms.
Planter Boxes
When you want to add decorative plants to your deck or patio, wooden or composite planter boxes are the best solution for that purpose. We can offer a large selection of planter boxes design. It is advisable to plan planter boxes before the construction of the deck begins. Planter box can be a structural component of the deck and punctuate the view from the deck.
Deck Lighting
Enjoy your deck or patio after dark with well-designed lighting. We can offer a large selection of deck lighting solutions. Lamps have various accommodation options: posts, planking, steps, handrails and even pickets. Modern LED lighting makes your structure safer and will give your deck a unique charm in the evening time.
Deck Covers
Deck covers above decks are essentially patio roofs. They can be designed to filter light, provide protection from rain, or simply add to the intimacy and aesthetics of the deck. Wood, plastic, glass, and fabrics all may be used in overhead construction.
Privacy Screens
Privacy screen can add some extra style, convenience, and privacy to your backyard or patio area. Also, it provides some shelter from the wind. We build a number of different styles of windbreaks and screens for patio, deck and backyard areas. See our gallery and choice the best solution for your deck.
Quality.
Quality is our main principle in business. We are proud of the result and our customers are always satisfied and recommend our company. We use the highest quality materials available in the Halifax area. When working with Zebra you can be sure that you will get the best possible deck, pergola or fence.

We are a small company located in Halifax and we value our reputation and respect each client. It does not matter what size the project is, we are always very responsible for each deck.
Pressure Treated
Pressure Treated Wood is the least expensive decking available in Halifax. It is a sturdy material and termites do not prefer it, which is an added benefit. However, it takes the most maintenance of all the woods as it needs staining and power washing at least once every 2 years. It also splinters easier–so if you have children and don’t want a lot of maintenance it would not be the best choice.
- Pricing: Least Expensive
- Benefits: Low Cost; Insects don’t prefer it
- Drawbacks: Splinters easier; Maintenance is high.
Composite & PVC
Composite is a wood and plastic combination. Composite is probably the fastest growing material for decking. There is never a need to stain this kind of decking. The only maintenance needed is a good spray of the garden hose, or for an extremely dirty deck a power wash. This will keep your deck looking great with not much effort. Composite is for people that choose to enjoy their deck and not worry about working on it too much!
- Pricing: About 40% more than Cedar
- Benefits: Light maintenance, only needs spraying.
- Drawbacks: Somewhat more expensive.
Cedar Decking
Cedar is a beautiful golden wood! It looks beautiful after staining. Cedar has to be power washed and stained every few years to keep its luster. It is a soft wood, so you must remember if you have pets that might scratch the wood it may not be your best choice. However, for certain homes, Cedar is an excellent choice. The investment is about 20% more than Treated Wood.
- Pricing: About 50% more than PT
- Benefits: Lighter maintenance, beautiful, softwood, very visually appealing.
- Drawbacks: Scratches easier, so potentially not good for pets.
Hardwood (Ipe)
Composite is a wood and plastic combination. Composite is probably the fastest growing material for decking. There is never a need to stain this kind of decking. The only maintenance needed is a good spray of the garden hose, or for an extremely dirty deck a power wash. This will keep your deck looking great with not much effort. Composite is for people that choose to enjoy their deck and not worry about working on it too much!
- Pricing: About 20% more than Treated Wood
- Benefits: The most durable wood, only needs oiling.
- Drawbacks: The most expensive expensive.

The railing is an essential part of creating a beautiful deck. Elevated decks (more than 2 feet) require railings for safety. They can be built from wood, composite, PVC, aluminum, glass, or a combination of materials. Benches provide built-in seating but can also be incorporated into a design to provide barriers between spaces or at the edge of low decks. Also, we offer stainless steel cable railings and shutters style wooden screens. Please check our railing catalog for design ideas and inspirations.
