What Clients Say About Our Pavilions, Covered Porches & Pool Houses

5.0 · 18 Google reviews
“We had to wait a bit but the wait was worth it. Our new front porch looks amazing. They even helped us out with a couple of side fences, something they don't usually do. I work awake nights and they were very accommodating to my schedule.”

We’ll tell you if an addition doesn’t make sense for your home — we’d rather earn your trust than sell a project.

Helical Piles vs. Concrete Footings: The Foundation Under Your Deck

What’s under your deck matters as much as what’s on top — especially with Southwestern Ontario’s frost.

Built for the heavy clay soils and deep winter frost common across London, Middlesex County and the surrounding townships.

Option 1 of 2

Helical piles

Our preferred foundation

Upper-mid

Why homeowners choose it

  • Installed in hours — framing can start the same day
  • Minimal digging, no concrete trucks on your lawn
  • Set below the frost line and load-rated as installed

Honest trade-offs

  • Higher cost per post than poured footings
  • Requires specialized equipment

Where it belongs: Composite and PVC decks, additions, and any project where you want zero heaving.

Option 2 of 2

Poured concrete footings

Traditional

Upkeep
None
Investment
Mid

Why homeowners choose it

  • Proven and widely accepted

Patrick’s field verdict

For premium decks, helical piles are usually worth it: a faster build, a cleaner yard and a foundation that won’t move.
