What clients say
★★★★★
“After 17 years in my house it was time for a new front deck. Very special thanks to Steve and Dave for an extraordinary job. I LOVE my new front porch, and it makes my whole house look so much better too. I am already looking forward to my new deck in the backyard. You will have all my business now. You guys are #1.”
★★★★★
“Reliable and affordable service… proper clean-up was part of every job.”
★★★★★
“I would highly recommend Maxx Contracting. I had them build a retaining wall in a very difficult area to get at in Departure Bay. They did a superb job, in a timely fashion, and they have more than enough new or near-new equipment to do the job. You will not go wrong by having them do your project for you.”
★★★★★
“You guys dug up my waterline on Fitzwilliam St. today. Tonight when I returned home from work I had a look at the job. Good work! The driveway you had to dig up looks great. You were here when you said you would be. You got the job done. The price was reasonable. I will have no hesitation recommending you to friends or calling you back if I need your services again.”
★★★★★
“Just wanted to say thanks for all the services you provided for us, and you can be sure we will tell our friends about your company and how satisfied both Mary and I are.”

“I hired Maxx Contracting to construct an Allan Block series of landscaping walls. It is gorgeous, and the workmanship was outstanding. I would not hesitate for a second to hire them again.”
★★★★★
“Working with Brandon at Maxx Contracting was an excellent experience that I highly recommend. He was responsive, professional, and transparent. His quotes are very competitive. Brandon and his crew showed up early and worked late to get our project done on schedule and on budget. We hired them to to construct an 8 foot engineered lock block retaining wall. This involved a huge excavation that was done cleanly and efficiently. We were struck by the painstaking care that was taken to ensure the wall was straight and level. Afterwards, we had Brandon and the crew renovate a gravel driveway, re-grade a yard, dig some trenches, and do other small jobs - all while we were out of town on vacation. Brandon sent frequent photos and texts, called me daily, and ensured the work was done properly despite our not being there. If you need any excavation projects done, big or small, give Brandon at Maxx a call. They simply get it done!”
★★★★★
“We recently had the pleasure of working with Maxx Contractors for our front landscaping project, which included the construction of a beautiful three-tiered Allan Block wall. Brandon and his crew were exceptional throughout the entire process. They demonstrated extensive knowledge, a strong work ethic, and the utmost professionalism in every aspect of the job. The end result exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier with our new front yard. We highly recommend Maxx Contractors for anyone seeking top-notch craftsmanship and reliable service.”
★★★★★

“I'd like to take a moment here to rave about the fantastic experience I had with Brandon and his team. We used this company's services for a backyard overhaul. The first time Brandon came by for an estimate, I was so impressed by his thoughtful questions and attention to detail to make sure that he understood exactly what I was looking for. On our first meeting he even showed photos of the various rocks he offers to make sure I would be happy with the colours, sizes and textures. Throughout his time working at our home he was polite, showed up on time, worked incredibly hard and had fantastic communication skills. His whole crew was a joy to work with. I threw so many curve balls at Brandon and his team with many new ideas they hadn't tackled before. Nevertheless, they rolled with every idea and blew the execution out of the park! I am so captivated by how they transformed our space in only 3.5 short days. I could not recommend this company more highly for hardscaping/landscaping or backyard renovations! Thank you Brandon and team!”

“Brandon has done a few jobs for me now and is always courteous and professional while doing a terrific job in a timely manner. He cleans up and checks in to ensure you are happy with the job. I highly recommend MaxxContracting.”
FAQ
Questions about custom decks
Composite or wood: which decking should I choose?
It comes down to budget and upkeep. Cedar and pressure-treated wood cost less up front and look natural, but need periodic staining or sealing. Composite costs more initially but resists rot, fading, and splinters and needs almost no upkeep, which suits our wet coast climate well. We walk you through the trade-offs and recommend the best fit.
Do I need a permit to build a deck in Nanaimo?
Usually, yes. Decks above a certain height, attached to the house, or with stairs typically need a building permit from the City of Nanaimo or your local jurisdiction. We design and build to the BC Building Code and help make sure the permit and inspections are handled.
What does a custom deck cost in Nanaimo?
It depends on the size, height, materials, railings, stairs, and any ground prep or footings needed on a sloped lot. Because every deck is custom, we give you a detailed, itemized quote after a free site visit rather than a flat per-square-foot rate.
How long does a deck take, and when should I book for summer?
Most residential decks take a few days to a couple of weeks on site once materials are in. Summer is our busiest deck season, so book early in spring to lock in a build before patio season.
Do you repair or rebuild existing decks?
Yes. We replace rotten boards, failing joists, posts, and railings, or rebuild from the footings up when a deck is past saving. We tell you honestly whether a repair makes sense or a rebuild is the better value.
