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.

Aluminum Railings: Lightweight Strength That Lasts
Our aluminum railings are a favorite among homeowners and property managers who want reliability without constant upkeep. Aluminum is lightweight yet incredibly strong, making it ideal for decks in rainy, coastal environments like Vancouver.
Unlike steel, aluminum doesn’t rust, and it’s finished with powder coating to resist UV damage and corrosion. That means less maintenance and more time enjoying your space.
We offer multiple styles, from sleek vertical pickets to bold, custom panels.
Why choose aluminum?
- Won’t rust or warp
- Ideal for BC’s rainy weather
- Available in matte, satin, and gloss finishes
- Easy to clean, just soap and water
These railings also offer long-term value by reducing replacement costs over the years. Their structural integrity holds up even in high-moisture zones, making them perfect for ocean-facing decks or shaded patios.
Glass Railings:
Clear Views, Modern Appeal
If you’re looking to open up your outdoor space without sacrificing safety, glass railings are the perfect choice. Made from tempered safety glass, these systems offer uninterrupted views and a sleek, high-end appearance.
Choose from fully frameless styles or glass with a sturdy aluminum top rail. We also offer privacy glass panels in frosted or rain-textured finishes.
They’re ideal for decks with mountain, city, or ocean views
Glass railing features:
- Clean, modern lines
- Optional privacy glass
- Durable tempered panels
- Compatible with aluminum frames

Powder Coating: Tough Finish, Eco-Friendly Process
Every aluminum system we install is treated with a premium powder-coated finish. This method uses electrostatically charged dry powder that’s baked into a smooth, hard surface—offering excellent resistance to chips, fading, and corrosion.
Unlike traditional paint, powder coating doesn’t use harmful solvents or VOCs, making it better for the environment and safer for your home.
It’s also incredibly versatile and available in a wide variety of colors and textures.
Benefits of powder coating:
- Extremely durable finish
- Eco-conscious process
- Low maintenance
- Ideal for residential and commercial projects
