How much for a TimberTech AZEK Vintage deck in Vancouver?

TimberTech AZEK Vintage decking typically costs $65-$95 per square foot installed in Metro Vancouver. For a standard 300 square foot deck, expect to invest $19,500-$28,500 including footings, pressure-treated framing, AZEK decking, composite railing, and professional installation.

AZEK Vintage is TimberTech's premium full PVC decking line — it contains no wood fibres, making it completely impervious to moisture, mould, and rot. This is particularly valuable in Metro Vancouver's marine climate where traditional wood-plastic composite boards can still absorb some moisture over time. The Vintage collection features deep wood grain textures and rich colour options that closely mimic natural hardwood planks.

Why AZEK costs more than standard composites: Full PVC decking like AZEK requires more complex manufacturing than wood-fibre composites, resulting in a premium price point. However, AZEK offers several advantages in Vancouver's wet climate — it's completely waterproof (ideal for elevated decks over living spaces), won't fade or stain, and maintains its appearance with just soap and water cleaning. The boards are also lighter than wood-composite alternatives, making installation easier on elevated applications.

Metro Vancouver pricing factors include the region's high labour costs ($35-$45 per hour for experienced deck installers), WorkSafeBC requirements, and the complexity of your specific site. Elevated decks, slope work (common in North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and Burnaby), and strata approval requirements can add 20-40% to base costs. Building permits ($200-$800) and potential engineered drawings ($500-$2,000 for complex elevated decks) are additional considerations.

AZEK performance in Vancouver's climate is exceptional — the material won't absorb the persistent moisture that causes wood decking to rot and standard composites to develop mould. It stays cooler underfoot than darker composite materials in summer sun, and the scratch-resistant surface maintains its appearance through years of Vancouver's heavy rainfall. The 50-year warranty reflects the material's durability.

Installation considerations: AZEK requires specific fastening systems and expansion gaps due to thermal movement — choose contractors experienced with PVC decking installation. The boards can be slippery when wet (common in Vancouver), so consider textured surface options for stairs and high-traffic areas.
