The Ultimate Deck Shop's 3-Step Assisted DIY Process

1

In-Store Planning Session

Visit our Saskatoon location to meet with one of our Escape Artists and map out your dream deck. Bring your ideas, space dimensions, and a few photos — we'll help you choose materials, layout, and lock in a budget-friendly plan that fits your goals.

2

Custom Quote & Project Booking

We'll create a detailed quote outlining all materials and professional framing services. You review, approve, and pay a deposit to secure your spot. We coordinate delivery and schedule the structural build.

3

We Frame It. You Finish It.

Our pros install the footings and framing — the tough stuff — ensuring a safe, level, and code-compliant foundation. Then you take over to install the decking and railing at your own pace, saving thousands and building it with pride.
