About Us | AV Deck Shop | Qualicum Beach, BC

The AV Deck Shop story begins with a personal need and a bold transition. Our founder, Malcolm Menninga, was once immersed in the demanding world of Vancouver Island’s logging industry. When searching for a solution to create a durable, beautiful deck for his own home in Port Alberni, Malcolm found the local contractor experience lacking: poor communication, unreliable timelines, and hidden costs were the norm. Determined to build something better—not just for himself but for island homeowners—he acquired an established decking business and set a new standard for service. By leveraging technical expertise as a Duradek Certified Installer and choosing only premium materials. AV Deck Shop ensures that each deck isn’t just built, but carefully curated to withstand the unique challenges of the Central Vancouver Island climate. We are proud to serve Port Alberni, Parksville, Qualicum Beach, and surrounding areas with a focus on transforming outdoor spaces into lasting sanctuaries for family gatherings and island living.

What sets AV Deck Shop apart isn’t just our technical skill—it’s our relationship-driven approach. We understand hiring a contractor is often stressful.
