Quick Summary / Key Takeaways
Client: Kris & Santa
Location: Vancouver, British Columbia
Project Type: Composite Decking Installation
Base Structure: Existing Concrete Patio
Scope of Work:
This project involved transforming an existing concrete patio into a modern, low-maintenance outdoor living space using high-quality composite decking materials.
This project was especially exciting for our team because it required traveling across the country to Vancouver. Despite the distance, Jacko Contracting maintained the same level of precision, planning, and craftsmanship that defines every one of our builds.
Working in a new environment also meant adapting to local conditions, climate considerations, and site-specific challenges—while still delivering a seamless, high-quality result.
Chris & Santa had clear objectives for their outdoor space:
Our role was to turn these goals into a durable, well-engineered solution.
The project site included an existing concrete patio, which required careful evaluation before construction:
Installing decking over concrete demands precision planning — mistakes here can lead to water retention or structural issues later.
Planning was critical to this project’s success.
Key planning considerations included:
The goal was to ensure the deck would not only look great on day one, but perform flawlessly for years to come.
To install composite decking over concrete, a secure sub-structure was required.
What we did:
This support system serves as the backbone of the deck, providing strength, stability, and longevity.
Once the support system was in place, the decking installation followed:
Every step was executed with attention to detail and precision.
Only premium-grade materials were selected for this project to ensure long-term performance:
