MATY Construction Inc.

We had an old wooden deck in our backyard that we decided have it demolished and replaced with a new Trex deck. We believed an even older deck lay underneath. We also decided to replace an adjacent wooden fence and gate and have a nearby interlocking walkway levelled properly as it had become very uneven and a tripping hazard. We hired Maty Construction.

Afsin (the owner of Maty Construction) was very professional and listened to our needs. He also made design suggestions. He suggested that we could chose an additional colour to border the deck. Prior to the construction, he sent us 3D renderings of our new deck. At every stage of the process, Afsin communicated with us clearly, answered our questions and kept us well informed. He is honest and reliable.

We all had proceeded on the assumption that the deck had been built on top of an old deck and the new deck could use the previous decks footings. However, when the old deck was demolished, there was a surprise. There was no other deck underneath and it was now evident that the deck had been constructed in a very inadequate nonstandard way. It did not have any concrete footings at all, no black tar paper (to keep out moisture) and no gravel. Instead the wooden frame did not have any joists taped and had been just placed on top of the soil.

As a result, our deck took a little longer than any of us had foreseen because the area below the new deck had to be dug out, concrete footings poured, black tar paper added, followed by gravel, then the frame constructed before the Trex planks were attached.

Throughout this process, Afsin and his team worked very hard to ensure our new deck would be built properly. They also worked long hours. Once the deck had been finished, they constructed a new fence and gate and levelled the interlocking brick walkway.

We are thrilled with our new deck, fence, gate and the levelling of the walkway. We are assured that our new deck will last because of both the Trex 25 year warranty and the excellent quality of its construction. We appreciate the workmanship. It looks beautiful and we will enjoy using it.

We would highly recommend Maty Construction to anyone looking to build or replace a deck and/or fence.

BTW The colours we chose were: Rocky Harbour for the deck and Coast Bluff for the border, both greyish taupe/ I've posted pictures both in sunlight (where it looks more brown) and in shade (where it looks grey).
