Building a rooftop deck is much harder than building a ground-level deck. Most commonly, roofs are not designed for the extra deck weight, therefore many nuances should be taken into account during the construction. The best way to do everything correctly and efficiently is to hire an experienced deck building company.

Depending on the characteristics of your roof, there can be some unforeseen obstacles, though you can be assured that Delta Decks will cope with them.
For your safety and comfort, we will equip your roof deck with guards, railings, privacy screens, stairs, and moreover install a pergola in case you’d like. However, in order to build a reliable roof deck construction, it is essential to take into account the peculiarities of the roof building process. The main condition is that your roof should withstand the additional burden.
All the other conditions and preparations will be carried out by us, as we have a special knowledge and expertise. In the situation of placing the additional heavy structures on the roof, for instance pergolas, we ensure the dispersion of the high point loads over the entire roof. The provision of water drainage and ventilation is a significant requirement for the rooftop deck as well. Thus, we will do our best to prevent the rotting process and you won’t have to change your roof in a couple of years.
On the other hand, you need to select the materials properly, since the service life of your deck depends on it. The materials must be strong and durable, resistant to weather conditions, moisture and heat, withstand intensive usage, as well as be comfortable for walking. By virtue of this, we commonly choose composite, Ipe wood or pressure-treated wood for decking, as well as metal, high-end PVE, or pressure-treated wood for railings.

Roof deck construction is the process of building a rooftop deck. It involves careful examination of the existing roof to make sure it can withstand the loads of the deck and an expert roof deck framing design that applies the loads in the right locations, allows the water to flow under the deck, provides enough airflow, does not penetrate the roofing membrane and keeps the racoons and other wild animals from building their homes under your foot deck.
Rooftop patios are an excellent way to increase your outdoor space with minimal investment. If you have a flat (or a relatively flat) roof – put this space to good use and build a rooftop deck. No sense in wasting this good outdoor space. For less than $100/sq. ft. you can have a nicely finished rooftop deck. Compare that with the cost of condos in Toronto which are over $1000/sq. ft. Rooftop decks also give you a lot of privacy and offer beautiful views of the city. If your house has no door to access a rooftop deck – it is easy to turn a window into a door or to cut a brand new door in the side of the house. A rooftop deck can add significantly to the value of the house in Toronto.
A rooftop terrace is a terrace on top of an existing building that has a flat roof. You can have flat roofs on residential houses with wood framing and torch down membrane or you can have flat roofs on condominium buildings where the roofs are made of concrete and steel with insulation and waterproofing on top. A rooftop terrace is a decking or stone surface on top of the roof that allows homeowners to use that space as a patio. You can also add privacy screens, pergolas, planters, outdoor kitchens, saunas and even pools to your outdoor rooftop deck patios.
To build a rooftop deck patio first you need to make sure that your roof is able to carry that extra load. Delta Decks has an engineer who is able to evaluate your specific project to see how the deck should be framed (using wood and/or steel) so that the roof can carry this additional load. Your next step is to design the framing of the deck in such a way that you have good water flow under the framing and the best air flow possible to make sure your wood frame lasts. Rooftop decks also require lateral support to the house. After the framing is done, it can be covered either with decking or with porcelain tiles. Another important factor to consider is deck railings and privacy screens – they need to be sturdy enough to meet the Ontario Building Code requirements.
Rooftop deck generally start at around $40/sq. ft. If you want to use premium decking materials such as Ipe decking or PVC plastic decking – the costs will be higher. This cost does not include the cost of railings, privacy screens, outdoor lighting, pergolas or permit drawings. An average rooftop deck with railing all around and made with composite decking materials will cost around $80/sq. ft.

Delta Decks did a beautiful job on our backyard deck and patio. Our old deck was in dire need of a rebuild and refresh. Elgi was great in getting the project started and Dimitri and his team were amazing to work with throughout the project. They were extremely customer focused and detail oriented, even suggesting improvements that we had not considered. I would highly recommend this company.

Delta Decks replaced my very worn old wood deck with a mineral based/pvc ‘Deckorators’ product, color ‘Costa’. Finding a taupe color was a challenge but this came close to the rest of the wood decks I still have and I did not like the grays of most other products. They did an excellent job.

I am very satisfied with the improvements that Delta Decks made to my 12 year old deck. From my first contact with Elgi, the project manager ,to the final clean up of the jobsite I could not ask for better treatment. All my pre job questions were thoroughly answered and the advice given improved the final look of my deck. The 3 man job crew was terrific. Each of them was very professional and very conscientious. They made me feel that they wanted me to be very satisfied with their work. They answered any questions I had and they did a very good job of cleaning up before they left. A job well done.

This review has been a long time coming. We had Elgi and team come in on September 2021 and after some talks about designs and materials we ended up going with a Fiberon deck. His crew was polite, neat and worked very quickly. The deck looks beautiful and the lighting on the stairs really compliments the design. Thanks so much Elgi & team, It was a pleasure working with you!
