What does a TimberTech Pro Reserve deck cost in Vancouver?

TimberTech Pro Reserve decking typically costs $70-$110 per square foot installed in Metro Vancouver, making it one of the premium composite options available. For a standard 300 square foot deck, expect to invest $21,000-$33,000 including footings, pressure-treated framing, Pro Reserve decking, coordinating railing, and professional installation.

Pro Reserve sits at the top of TimberTech's product lineup and commands premium pricing for several reasons. The boards feature TimberTech's most advanced capping technology with enhanced scratch and stain resistance, deeper wood grain textures, and superior colour retention compared to their standard lines. The material itself runs approximately $8-$12 per square foot at retail, but installation labour, substructure, permits, and additional components drive the total project cost significantly higher.

Metro Vancouver's marine climate makes Pro Reserve an excellent long-term investment despite the higher upfront cost. The enhanced capping resists the mould, mildew, and moisture staining that plague lesser composite products in our 1,200mm+ annual rainfall environment. Pro Reserve carries TimberTech's 50-year limited warranty against rot, decay, and insect damage, plus 30 years against staining and fading. In Vancouver's persistent humidity, this translates to decades of maintenance-free performance beyond the occasional cleaning with soap and water.

Several factors influence the final project cost in the Vancouver market. Elevated or second-storey decks add 30-50% to base pricing due to engineering requirements, additional structural hardware, and safety considerations. Slope work—common in North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and Burnaby hillside properties—increases costs further due to extended posts and access challenges. Complex layouts with multiple levels, built-in planters, or integrated lighting systems push projects toward the higher end of the range.

Pro Reserve offers eight colour options ranging from warm browns and greys to lighter tones that stay cooler underfoot in direct sun—an important consideration for south-facing Vancouver decks. The boards are available in both grooved and smooth profiles, with grooved providing better traction in wet conditions (crucial for our climate) and smooth offering easier cleaning.

Compare this to other premium options in the Vancouver market: Trex Transcend runs $65-$100 per square foot installed, while full PVC options like TimberTech AZEK range from $75-$120 per square foot. Cedar decking costs $45-$85 per square foot but requires annual staining and maintenance that Pro Reserve eliminates entirely. Over a 20-year period, the maintenance savings often justify the higher initial investment.

Professional installation is essential for Pro Reserve due to the specific fastening requirements, thermal expansion considerations, and warranty compliance. The boards require hidden fastening systems and precise spacing for drainage and expansion. Most manufacturers void warranties for improper installation, making experienced composite deck installers crucial for protecting your investment.

Additional costs to budget include building permits ($200-$800 depending on municipality), old deck removal if applicable ($1,000-$3,000), and potential upgrades like glass or cable railing systems ($150-$350 per linear foot). Pro Reserve pairs beautifully with TimberTech's RadianceRail or ALX railing systems for a cohesive premium appearance.
