What we do
Cedar Wood Structures is a design-and-build company. One team takes your project from the first idea to the finished structure, so you are not passing drawings between a designer, a permit consultant and a builder.
Design
Free consultation
We visit your yard, talk through how you want to use the space and design a structure that suits your house, your lot and your budget.
Plans and permits
Drawings by our team
When your town requires a permit, we prepare the plans and permit drawings and help with the application.
Shop manufacturing
Built in Aurora
We cut and assemble the main parts in our Aurora shop. Shop work is more accurate and keeps the time our crew spends in your yard short.
Installation
Our own crew
Our crew sets the structure on its footings or pad and finishes the roofing, siding, trim and details.
Turnkey projects
One point of contact
We can coordinate the trades your project needs, such as electrical and plumbing, so you deal with one company from start to finish.
Standard or custom
Your choice
Start from a pre-designed model such as our standard pool cabanas, or have us design a structure from scratch.
Structures we design and build
Each structure has its own page with styles, options, photos and permit notes.
Custom pool cabanas
Pool houses designed around your pool and yard, with change rooms, washrooms, bars and storage.
Standard pool cabanas
Pre-designed cabana models you can personalize, with a proven layout and structure.
Gazebos and pavilions
Cedar gazebos and open pavilions for shade over a patio, deck, pool or hot tub.
Pergolas and trellises
Freestanding or attached pergolas, privacy screens and trellises for climbing plants.
Custom decks
Cedar and composite decks, from ground-level patios to raised and multi-level pool decks.
Outdoor bars and kitchens
Covered outdoor kitchens and bars with counters, storage and room for your appliances.
We also make cedar windows, doors and gates in our shop, and prepare plans and permit drawings for the structures we build.

Frequently asked questions
What services does Cedar Wood Structures offer?
We design and build cedar outdoor structures from start to finish. That includes a free design consultation, plans and permit drawings, building the parts in our Aurora shop, and installation by our own crew.
Do you only build, or do you also design?
We do both. Our team designs each structure, prepares the drawings and then builds and installs it, so one company is responsible for the whole project.
Can you get the building permit for my project?
We prepare the plans and permit drawings and help you with the application when your town requires a permit. Permit rules differ between towns, so we check them for your address.
Do you offer pre-designed or custom structures?
Both. We have pre-designed models such as our standard pool cabanas, and we design custom structures around your yard and how you plan to use it.
Which areas do you serve?
Our shop is in Aurora. We work across York Region, Toronto and the GTA, including Newmarket, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Markham, Mississauga and Oakville.
