We have renovated two homes extensively and so know that Matthew Turnbull of Climate Custom Homes is the holy grail of tradespeople — considerate, communicative, reliable and incredibly talented. We have enjoyed having him back to our current home nearly a dozen times now, for projects ranging from finishing carpentry to an elevated deck and, most recently, a picket fence. We most appreciate his can-do attitude, even and especially when dealing with a character home and its associated quirks. We would not hesitate to recommend him and often do!

Vinyl membrane decks are highly versatile and can be installed on various surfaces and structures. Our experienced team can create solutions for different terrains and existing structures, ensuring proper waterproofing and drainage.
With proper installation and basic maintenance, vinyl membrane decks can last 25+ years. The Global Decking materials we use come with a 25-year warranty, ensuring long-term performance and peace of mind.
Vinyl membrane decks require minimal maintenance compared to traditional deck materials. Basic care includes:
- Annual or semi-annual cleaning (using appropriate cleaners) to remove dirt/debris/mildew
- Occasional inspection of seams and flashing to check for any damage or wear
Absolutely! This is one of the biggest advantages of vinyl membrane decks. Unlike traditional board decks where water passes through, vinyl decks act like a roof, keeping the space underneath completely dry and usable.
Vinyl decks are typically more affordable than composite/PVC decks and slightly more expensive than natural cedar decks. Pricing is determined by layout complexity and size. We provide transparent estimates based on your specific project requirements.
We use several specialized techniques that set us apart:
- Flush mount seams: Where two vinyl sheets meet/overlap, we cut a notch into the wood substrate so that the joint sits flush and is virtually unnoticeable
- Vinyl-coated flashing: We can match the colour and finish of your railings and fascia for a cohesive aesthetic
- Complete waterproofing: Our installation ensures the space underneath stays completely dry
Global Dec-k-ing offers industry-leading quality and warranties. Their 25-year warranty is significantly longer than most competitors' 15-year warranties. Additionally, their vinyl-backed material (as opposed to felt-backed) provides superior adhesion and longer-lasting joints, which is why all the big engineering firms in downtown Vancouver specify/vouch for it.
A vinyl membrane deck uses large sheets of vinyl material (rather than individual boards) to create a completely waterproof surface. Think of it as a roof for your deck - water cannot pass through, making the space underneath usable and dry.
