About

DeckMart

Read full description

DeckMart is a specialty store in Toronto, Ontario, that supplies outdoor building materials such as Composite & PVC decking, outdoor railing, wood and fiber cement siding, trim and moulding, Deck metal structures, and more. Although we only have one physical location in Canada, we provide coast-to-coast shipping for our customers. Due to the specialized nature of our products, they may not be readily available in large building centers and big box stores. This can be inconvenient for contractors travelling long distances to pick up a few items or a small order from our warehouse. To address this issue and provide a better service to our customers, DeckMart has developed a MUST-HAVE APP FOR CONTRACTORS! The app has various features to make ordering and delivery more convenient. These features include multiple shipping methods that conform to any customer's needs, same-day delivery for small, medium, and large orders, next-day delivery for small, medium, and large orders, and the option to schedule future deliveries. Customers can also check product availability on their phone without needing to call DeckMart, get delivery quotes for shipments across Canada, and access their order history and statuses, including cancelled, shipped, packed, and invoiced. Furthermore, the app allows customers to shop by collections, which means they can see all related products to finish the job on the same screen and add them to their cart with just one finger tap. Lastly, customers can obtain pricing information on their phones, making ordering fast and simple.
