"A well-built deck or fence adds usable space and defines the yard - if the structure is sound."
ETRA Pro Services builds decks and installs fences across Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, and the HRM. New backyard deck, privacy fence, or repairs to an aging structure - honest pricing and careful work.
We work with pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, and cedar - matching the right material to your goals, your home's style, and your budget. Every project starts with a free on-site quote and ends with a structure built to last through years of East Coast weather.
What we handle
Decks & Fences across Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, Cole Harbour and the rest of HRM.
- Pressure-Treated Lumber - The most popular choice for Halifax decks. Affordable, durable, and treated to resist rot, insects, and moisture. Ideal for homeowners who want a solid deck at a practical price point.
- Composite Decking - Low-maintenance boards that won't splinter, warp, or fade. No staining, no sealing - just enjoy it. Perfect for busy families and properties in Dartmouth and Bedford where you want the look of wood without the upkeep.
- Cedar Decks - Naturally rot-resistant with a warm tone. A premium choice that weathers well and looks distinct from pressure-treated lumber.
- Complete Build Service - Footings, framing, decking, stairs, railings, and finishing details. We handle permits, layout, and the full build - you just tell us what you want.
- Privacy Fences - Solid panel construction that blocks sightlines. The most requested fence style across Halifax and HRM for a reason - it works.
- Picket Fences - Classic styling for front yards and gardens. We build traditional and modern picket designs that add curb appeal and define your property without closing it off.
- Board-on-Board - Overlapping boards that look great from both sides - no "bad" side for your neighbour. A popular upgrade across Bedford and Dartmouth neighbourhoods for its clean, finished appearance.
- Custom Designs - Horizontal slat, lattice-top, mixed-material, and custom gate designs. If you have a vision, we can build it. We work with you to match your home's architecture and your property's layout.
- When to Repair vs. Replace - If the footings and framing are sound, a deck resurface or targeted repair is usually the smarter move. We give you an honest assessment - we won't recommend a full rebuild when a repair will do the job.
- Railing Upgrades - Swapping old, weathered railings for new aluminum or glass panels is a fast way to update a deck. Changes the look - and often the view from inside too.
- Board replacement and resurfacing
- Structural joist and beam repair
- Post and footing reinforcement
- Stair rebuilds and tread replacement
- Wood, aluminum, and glass railing installs
- Fence post replacement and panel repairs
- Full teardown and disposal of old structures

Rough ballpark
A planning tool, not a quote. Final pricing depends on site conditions, prep, materials, access and scope — the free estimate above is the real number.
Common questions
Deck pricing varies based on size, materials (pressure-treated wood, composite, cedar), railing style, and complexity. A simple ground-level deck typically starts around $8,000-$12,000 for standard materials; composite and elevated builds run higher. We provide detailed free quotes.
Generally, yes - decks over a certain height or size require a building permit from HRM. We'll advise you on the requirements for your specific project and can help with the permitting process.
Pressure-treated lumber is reliable and affordable. For low-maintenance longevity, composite decking (like Trex or TimberTech) handles Nova Scotia rain, humidity, and UV well. Cedar is a premium natural option that weathers beautifully. We'll help you pick what's right for your budget.
Most residential deck projects take three to seven days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. We'll confirm the timeline in your free quote before work begins.
Yes - we build wood, vinyl, and composite privacy fences across HRM. Whether it's a simple garden fence or a full property perimeter, we handle design, materials, and installation from start to finish.
