Need some wood to build a deck. Got a quote from Home Depot and wow, was pretty steep.

Any contractors wanna help me out to get wood or build a deck extension?

I have the plans already.

cheers,

chris

lol...

Try Timbertown, I find their prices are the best in Calgary. You can be really cheap and take their quote to Home Depot and see if they'll price match and knock off 5% or 10% or whatever it is they do.

How cheap are you?

Wood isn't that expensive. If you want cedar or something, well - its going to be expensive wherever you go then

UFA prices, then take that to HD and price match them.

I'm not cheap...its the fact that my dad got a deck twice the size I want to build for the same cost as the materials I was quoted to build it myself... SO hire a contractor for the same/similar price including materials or DIY?

Will check em out tomorrow if they are open, thanks.

Just want regular Pressure Treated lumber that's all.

Lumber king has all of their prices in a excel sheet on their website, they've always been good to me.

This. Much better quality than the big box stores, better prices and same day delivery most of the time.
