Oshawa is the largest city in Durham Region, with housing stock ranging from established neighbourhoods near downtown and Lakeview to newer subdivisions in the north end — which means a lot of our Oshawa work is replacing decks and fences that have reached the end of their life, not just building new. The Setting Stone Company gives Oshawa homeowners honest pricing on new builds, replacements, and repairs, with a free on-site quote up front.

Affordable shouldn’t mean risky. We keep our decks and fences within reach for Oshawa homeowners by giving you a clear, itemized quote up front — no inflated first offer designed to be “negotiated down,” no vague allowances that balloon once work starts. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we break ground, and we’ll walk you through where wood saves you money upfront and where composite saves you money over time, so you can pick what actually fits your budget.

With so much of Oshawa’s housing built decades ago, a large part of our work here is assessing an existing deck or fence — deciding what can be repaired versus what needs to be rebuilt from the footings up. We’ll always tell you honestly if a repair is a temporary fix versus a full replacement, so you’re not paying twice. For Oshawa’s newer north-end subdivisions, it’s more often new construction on a blank backyard, and we handle both with the same frost-line footing standard.
Local experience with Oshawa -specific soil and grading conditions
Deck footings and fence posts set below the frost line so structures don't heave or lean
Built to local building codes and municipal permit requirements
We make it easy to bring your outdoor vision to life with a smooth, step-by-step process focused on quality, communication, and lasting results.
We visit your Oshawa property, measure the space, and talk through what you actually want to use it for — before we talk materials or pricing.
You get an itemized quote showing wood vs. composite (or wood vs. vinyl fencing) costs side by side, so you're choosing based on real numbers, not guesswork.
Our crew builds it — footings, framing, decking, fencing — with no subcontracted labour and no shortcuts on what's below the surface.

Cost depends on size, material, and site conditions like grading or existing structure removal. Pressure-treated wood is the most affordable decking material upfront; composite costs more initially but needs far less maintenance over time. The only way to get an accurate number for your property is a free on-site quote — we don't give ballpark phone estimates because every yard is different.
It depends on the condition of the footings and framing underneath the visible boards. If the structure below is sound, we can often replace decking boards and railings at a lower cost than a full rebuild. If the footings have heaved or the framing has rotted, repair becomes a short-term fix — we'll always tell you which situation you're in before recommending a repair.
Most decks over a certain height or attached to the house require a building permit in Durham. Fences typically don't need a permit but are subject to local bylaw height restrictions. We'll confirm what applies to your specific project before work begins.
Leaning posts usually mean they weren't set deep enough or without concrete originally — a common issue on older Oshawa properties. In many cases we can reset or replace individual posts rather than rebuilding the entire fence, which keeps costs down.
A well-built, properly maintained pressure-treated deck typically lasts 20 to 30 years in Ontario conditions. The lifespan comes down to whether the footings were set below the frost line — which is where we never cut cost, even on budget-conscious builds.
