Deck builders in Thunder Bay.

Thunder Bay, population 110,000, is Northwestern Ontario's largest city on the shores of Lake Superior. The city experiences Northern Ontario's harshest climate — winter temperatures reach -35°C with a frost line of 1.8m (6 feet) and annual snowfall exceeding 200 cm. These extreme conditions demand materials rated for severe cold and heavy snow loads. Composite decking with verified freeze-thaw ratings is essential. Labour costs are $14–$20 per sq ft — among Ontario's lowest — but material delivery costs are higher due to the remote location.

Ontario's 100+ annual freeze-thaw cycles test every decking material. Composite and PVC handle this stress better than wood, which tends to crack and splinter after a few winters.
