The deck was and still is surrounded by a custom cedar railing that they removed and reinstalled completely. They also left the worksite clean and tidy.
Crew are professional from start to finish.
Would definitely recommend RainCity Decks for any future deck projects.
Thanks to Nick, Kelly & crew.
A Five-Star Experience Replacing Our Complicated Decks
We recently hired Raincity Decks to replace the front and back decks on our house with a TREX composite deck, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Our project was anything but straightforward: it involved removing sleepers on a torch-on surface, replacing stairs that were falling apart, and dealing with railings that needed to fit onto new TREX decking, which was a different thickness than the 25 year old rotten wood.
From the start, Jeff—our project lead—demonstrated outstanding workmanship and professionalism. The entire Raincity Decks team handled the complexities of our job with skill and attention to detail. They made sure the torch-on surface was properly protected during removal and installation, and the new stairs are solid and beautifully finished.
One thing that truly impressed us was their approach to communication. Whenever we uncovered an issue or had a question, Jeff was quick to respond, clearly explained our options, and kept us in the loop throughout the process. This level of transparency and care is rare and made a big difference in our experience.
The pricing was fair for the scope and quality of work involved. There were no surprise costs, and we genuinely felt we received excellent value for our investment. The team also ensured the new railing was securely installed on the composite decking, despite the challenges posed by the material change.
If you're looking for a dependable, skilled, and honest deck contractor, I highly recommend Raincity Decks and Jeff. Our decks look fantastic and we are grateful for the stress-free process and exceptional results!
Thank you Kelly, Nick and the entire teams.
The crew took pride in their work, and kept the site clean during the install. There were some tricky bits to deal with but everything was restored perfectly. When you rip up an old deck, there are always surprises and any additional necessary work that wasn’t quoted for was clearly explained in advance. Thank You Rain City.
We would highly recommend.

Deck Problems North Vancouver Property Owners Should Not Ignore
Deck deterioration can start beneath the surface and remain unnoticed until the damage becomes more extensive.
Water can enter through failed membranes, damaged seams, deck edges, door transitions, posts, railings, or other vulnerable areas. Once moisture reaches plywood or structural wood, deterioration can continue even when the finished deck still looks relatively usable.
Watch for:
- Soft or spongy areas
- Rotten or deteriorated wood
- Cracked or lifting waterproof membranes
- Water stains beneath elevated decks
- Recurring leaks
- Standing water after rainfall
- Loose railings
- Unstable or deteriorated stairs
- Rot around posts or deck edges
- Movement in the deck structure
- Repairs that repeatedly fail
These conditions can lead to hidden deck rot, structural deterioration, unsafe access, liability concerns, and more expensive restoration if they are left unresolved.
A professional inspection can help determine whether the problem is limited to the visible surface or extends into the underlying deck assembly.
Complete Deck Repair & Restoration in North Vancouver
RainCity Decks focuses on substantial deck projects where multiple components may need to work together as one system.
Depending on the condition of your property, restoration may include:
Structural Deck Repair
Damaged plywood, joists, framing, posts, and other accessible structural components can be assessed and repaired or replaced where required.
Rotten Wood Replacement
Rotten wood should be removed rather than covered with a new surface. Addressing deterioration before waterproofing or decking installation helps create a more appropriate foundation for the finished project.
Waterproof Vinyl Decking
Waterproof vinyl can provide a finished walking surface while protecting appropriate deck assemblies from water infiltration.
Composite Decking
Composite decking provides a durable, lower-maintenance option for suitable exposed deck applications.
Aluminum & Glass Railings
Replacing deteriorated railings can improve safety while giving an older deck a more modern finished appearance.
Custom Stairs
Damaged, unstable, or outdated stairs can be repaired or replaced as part of a broader deck restoration.
Residential, Strata & Commercial Restoration
RainCity Decks works with homeowners, strata properties, and commercial property owners throughout the Lower Mainland.
Waterproof Deck Solutions for North Vancouver Properties
Reliable waterproofing is an important consideration for decks and balconies exposed to the Lower Mainland’s wet conditions.
A waterproof deck system involves more than the visible membrane. The condition of the substrate, drainage, transitions, edges, posts, and other details can all affect how effectively water is managed.
RainCity Decks can evaluate areas such as:
- Existing waterproof membrane
- Plywood and substrate
- Deck slope and drainage
- Door and wall transitions
- Posts and penetrations
- Deck edges
- Railing attachment areas
- Flashing details
- Previously repaired areas
- Accessible structural components
If deterioration is discovered, repairs can be coordinated before the new waterproofing system is installed.
This approach helps avoid simply covering an existing problem with a new finished surface.
Vinyl Decking & Duradek Installation
RainCity Decks is an Authorized Duradek Dealer, providing professional waterproof vinyl installation for appropriate residential, strata, and commercial deck projects.
Duradek can be an effective option for elevated decks and balconies where waterproof protection is an important part of the deck system.
A typical vinyl restoration may include:
- Removing the existing deck covering.
- Inspecting the exposed substrate.
- Identifying damaged plywood or structural components.
- Completing necessary repairs.
- Preparing the surface for installation.
- Installing the waterproof vinyl membrane.
- Detailing walls, edges, posts, and penetrations.
- Coordinating stairs and railings where applicable.
The condition underneath the existing membrane is an important part of the assessment. If moisture has already caused deterioration, those areas should be addressed before the new waterproof surface is installed.
Deck Repair in North Vancouver: Repair, Restore or Rebuild?
Not every damaged deck requires complete replacement.
If deterioration is localized and the existing structure remains serviceable, targeted repairs and waterproofing may provide an appropriate solution.
More extensive restoration or rebuilding may be considered when:
- Structural rot is widespread
- Plywood or framing has significant moisture damage
- Waterproofing has failed across large areas
- The deck has recurring leaks
- Stairs are unsafe or heavily deteriorated
- Railings or attachment points are compromised
- Several previous repairs have failed
- Multiple deck components have reached the end of their useful service life
The right solution depends on the actual condition of the deck.
RainCity Decks can assess the existing assembly and explain whether repair, restoration, waterproofing, or rebuilding makes the most practical sense.
Turn a Necessary Deck Repair Into a Complete Outdoor Upgrade
Repairing an aging deck can also be an opportunity to improve how the outdoor space looks, feels, and functions.
When substantial restoration is already required, North Vancouver property owners may choose to coordinate structural and waterproofing work with upgrades such as:
Composite Decking
Create a durable outdoor surface with lower ongoing maintenance requirements than traditional wood.
Modern Railings
Aluminum or glass railings can update the appearance of the deck while addressing aging or deteriorated guard systems.
New Stairs
Replacing worn stairs can improve access, safety, and the overall appearance of the finished deck.
Waterproof Vinyl
For appropriate elevated decks and balconies, a new waterproof vinyl system can provide both the finished walking surface and protection for the structure below.
Planning these components together can create a more cohesive restoration instead of completing several disconnected projects over time.
Signs Your North Vancouver Deck Needs Professional Attention
Deck problems often begin in areas that are easy to overlook. Small leaks, soft spots, or movement around stairs and railings can indicate moisture damage or deterioration beneath the finished surface.
Consider having your deck inspected if you notice:
- Soft or spongy areas when walking across the deck
- Recurring leaks beneath an elevated deck or balcony
- Cracked, peeling, or lifting vinyl
- Rotten wood around edges, stairs, posts, or railings
- Loose railings or unstable stairs
- Standing water after rainfall
- Visible deterioration around doors or wall transitions
- Previous repairs that keep failing
Finding the source of the problem early can help prevent moisture from spreading into plywood, framing, and other structural components.
RainCity Decks can assess the existing deck and determine whether structural repair, waterproofing, resurfacing, or a more extensive restoration is appropriate.

Why Quick Deck Repairs Can Become More Expensive
A cracked board or leaking membrane can seem like an isolated issue.
However, moisture may have travelled beneath the visible surface and affected materials that cannot be seen without further inspection.
Installing a new surface without evaluating the substrate can potentially leave:
- Rotten plywood
- Damaged framing
- Trapped moisture
- Poor drainage
- Failed transitions
- Compromised attachment areas
These conditions may eventually require sections of the new surface to be removed again.
For substantial deck projects, evaluating and addressing the underlying condition before installing the finished surface can help reduce the risk of recurring repairs.
