Our Story
One carpenter one simple belief.
Acorn Decks started in 2014 with Paul Davis, a tool belt, and a frustration with how decks were being built across the GTA — rushed, subcontracted out, and falling apart a few seasons later. The fix was simple: build it once, build it right, and stand behind every board.
That belief built the business. Almost every project we take on today comes from a referral or a neighbour who watched us work. We've grown into a full crew, but the standard hasn't changed — one team, accountable from the first measurement to the final walkthrough.
"A deck is only as good as the structure you never see. We build the parts nobody notices like our name is on them — because it is."

what we stand for
The standards we won't cut.
Four principles that decide how we quote, build and finish every single deck.
Craftsmanship over speed
No subcontractors, no hand-offs. The carpenter who quotes your deck is the one swinging the hammer on it.
One accountable crew
No subcontractors, no hand-offs. The carpenter who quotes your deck is the one swinging the hammer on it.
Honest, fixed quotes
A clear scope and a fixed price before we start. The number we quote is the number you pay — no surprise change orders.
Built to outlast
We over-engineer the structure and finish every build with a written workmanship guarantee you can hold us to.

CLIENT REVIEWS
Homeowners who'd
build with us again.
"Paul and his crew did a fantastic job on my new backyard deck and railing. Hard working guys, did not stray from the budget that was proposed in my estimate. Would definitely recommend."
Shelby Morris
"Acorn came on site to see our yard, and was ready to start the next day which was great and unexpected during the pandemic. They built us a new fence, and replaced an old elevated deck with a platform deck, exactly how we wanted it. Team was quick and good to be around, thanks for the great work!"
Customer Quote
"Paul and his team did a terrific job from quote to completion. My old deck was rotting and the fence was falling over. They did a fantastic job and built a much stronger deck. They also complted a much more sturdy and modern fence offering much more privacy which is great in the area I live in. I couldn't be happier with the final product and would recommend Paul and the team to anyone looking for anything deck or fence related."
