Composite Deck Rebuild, Structural Repair & Animal Damage Protection in Ottawa
Summary: Composite deck rebuild in Ottawa featuring structural repairs, animal damage remediation, foundation sealing, and a durable low-maintenance composite deck installation for long-term home protection.
Master Works Renovations completed a full exterior deck reconstruction project after the homeowner discovered serious damage caused by age, moisture, and animal intrusion.
The existing outdoor deck was old, worn out, and no longer protecting the home properly. Once the old decking was removed, our team discovered rotted wood, damaged framing, open gaps around the foundation, and entry points where animals had chewed through the structure and gained access into the home.
This project was not only about building a new deck. It was about protecting the house from future damage.
Our team removed the deteriorated deck, cleaned the area, repaired and reinforced damaged sections, sealed open gaps, installed protective metal mesh, added spray foam, filled vulnerable areas with stone, and rebuilt the structure using new pressure-treated lumber.
We also repaired areas inside the basement where animals had entered. Damaged wood was reinforced, gaps were sealed with foam, insulation was added, and the area was prepared for drywall repair, mudding, sanding, and painting.
After the home was fully protected, we built a brand-new deck frame, carefully leveled the structure, and installed premium composite decking with clean spacing and professional finishing details.
The final result is a strong, safe, low-maintenance composite deck that looks beautiful and helps protect the home from future animal intrusion, moisture damage, and structural problems.

Why This Project Matters
Many homeowners only see the surface problem: an old deck that needs replacement.
But sometimes the real problem is hidden underneath.
In this project, the old deck was hiding serious damage around the home’s foundation. Animals had created openings, moisture had weakened the structure, and the home needed more than a cosmetic repair.
Master Works Renovations focused on solving the full problem from A to Z.
We repaired the damaged areas, protected the foundation, blocked animal access, improved the structure, and built a new deck designed to last.
The Result
✔A stronger structure.
✔A cleaner exterior.
✔A safer home.
✔Better protection from animals and moisture.
✔A beautiful new composite deck.
✔A low-maintenance outdoor space built for Canadian weather.
