Legal
Terms of use
These terms apply when you use valleydeckbuilders.ca (the "site"), operated by Valley Deck Builders ("we", "us"). By using the site you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
What we do
Valley Deck Builders is a matching service. Homeowners describe a deck project, and we pass the request to up to 3 independent deck builders that serve the area. We are not a builder or contractor. We don't perform work, set prices, give quotes, take payment for jobs or supervise work.
Your agreement is with the builder you hire
Any quote, contract or payment is strictly between you and the builder you choose. We are not a party to that agreement and are not responsible for the builder's work, pricing, timing, conduct, licensing, insurance, permits or warranties. Before hiring, we recommend you check the builder's licence and insurance, read reviews, get the quote in writing and confirm who is responsible for permits and inspections.
Free for homeowners
Requesting quotes is free and doesn't oblige you to hire anyone. Participating builders may pay us for matched requests. That payment doesn't affect the price a builder quotes you.
Calculators, permit information and guides
The cost calculator, permit checker, articles, cost ranges and other content are general information for budgeting and planning only. They are not professional, engineering or legal advice and are not quotes. Prices vary with your property and the work involved. Permit rules are set by each municipality and change over time. Always confirm permit and zoning requirements with your city or district.
Using the site
Please give accurate information in your requests and don't submit false, abusive or spam requests, or requests on behalf of someone without their permission. Don't try to interfere with the site's operation or security. We may refuse or remove any request at our discretion.
For participating builders
Builders that join confirm that they hold the licences, insurance and coverage required for their work and will treat homeowners' information in line with privacy laws. Separate terms may apply to paid lead services.
