Mjolnir ConstructionThis 14'x20' western red cedar deck may look fairly standard, although there are many fine details which we included.
✅ Mid span decking border and picture frame deck edge to eliminate ugly butt ends.
✅ Mitered stair treads and box step crafted in a unique, matching design.
✅ Clear caulking used in both ends of all aluminum balusters to eliminate the "rattle".
✅ Ends of railing cut on a 45° angle to avoid hard edges.
✅ All 2"x4" railing has been sanded down smooth which means no splinters!
✅ Privacy plus lattice work kept off the ground to avoid rot. Wooden stakes pounded into the ground under the deck to keep it in place. 1"x6" boards are used to hide seams.
✅ A tamped limestone base with patio stones acting as a solid base for the stairs.
✅ 3/4" Clear limestone under the deck to facilitate proper drainage.
It's details such as these that separate us from the competition, and show our enthusiasm for our work.
Mjolnir ConstructionThis TimberTech deck weighs in at over 400Sqft and features Dark Cocoa, which is a new colour for 2022 included in the budget friendly Edge Prime + collection.
Adobe PVC skirting provides another less expensive option for closing in underneath the deck.
Black aluminum railing adds a sharp contrast to the soft tones of the deck and provides a safe guardrail.
Mjolnir ConstructionA front porch deck with stairs and ramp was in dire need of replacing for our latest customer. With the winter season around the corner, it was a safety concern to have this project completed quickly.
We used pressure treated wood to complete the framing, decking and railing. A cost effective material that requires some maintenance.
The railing incorporates stylish black aluminum balusters, post anchors and rail brackets to give a modern appearance.
There are a few items we would like to point out that may not be obvious to the average homeowner, but are small finishing touches that we feel set us apart from our competition...
✔️ A 1"x6" fence board was used to border the top of the skirting, hiding the screws used to fasten the skirt boards. The 1"x6" also hides the ugly butt ends of the decking.
✔️ Rounded corners were used at the end of the railings for ease of use. All railings were also sanded down.
✔️ Three structural screws at 8" in length were used to secure the 4"x4" posts that were side mounted to the deck and ramp. These screws are just as strong as a 3/8"x8" galvanized lag screw, but blend in better with the wood and can be counter sunk to make them even less visible.
✔️ A double mid span deck board design was used to eliminate deck boards butting against each other, and also creates a nice visual when moving from the ramp to the deck.
✔️ Cold patch asphalt was put down at the bottom of the ramp to create a seamless transition from the driveway to the ramp surface.
We could not feel more proud that these homeowners chose us to build them an attractive and safe deck with access, trusting that it would be completed on schedule!

Mjolnir ConstructionThis customer hired us to improve their backyard space, as the upper deck was in need of updating and they required a large deck with raised garden beds for planting.
We built a spectacular 360Sqft. pressure treated wood deck with a picture frame deck edge and mid span deck border. Skirting was installed across the front of the deck as well.
A large set of 6' wide pressure treated wood stairs feature the same design as the main deck. We always support our stairs with a limestone screening and patio stone base to prevent movement and sinking!
Two western red cedar garden beds finish the sides of the deck, which will be used for growing vegetables. As a special surprise for our customer, we dedicated the garden beds to the their mother and father who both recently passed away. Inscribed on a live edge piece of white cedar, are the words "Giardino di Maria" and "Giardino di Stefano" which translated from Italian is "Garden of Maria" and "Garden of Stefano".
To revitalize the upper balcony, we capped the drop beam and rim joists with new pressure treated wood. We also removed the old decking and replaced with new pressure treated wood. The railing was removed and replaced with an exterior post and rail system using pressure treated wood and black aluminum balusters.
This was a very special project for us, and one that we will always remember.

Mjolnir ConstructionWe built a cedar porch for one of our latest customers to welcome friends and family into their home.
Cedar porches are beautiful, and the smell of fresh cedar is pleasing. The best reason for choosing cedar, though, is its durability. A cedar porch is likely to last twice as long as one built with pressure treated wood. While cedar does require some maintenance, it requires less maintenance than pressure treated.
The railing is built with a combination of 2x4 cedar and aluminum balusters from Deckorators. While the 4x4 cedar posts are mounted to the deck surface with code compliant Titan Post Anchors.
Cedar skirting finishes off the deck to the ground for great curb appeal.
