Construction
Frost footings below 48 inches, flashed ledgers, hidden fasteners. A deck fails at the connections you can't see — so that's where we spend the money.

How the job runs
Same process on every job — you always know what happens next.
Design & footprint
We stake the footprint in your yard so you feel the size before committing, and check setbacks with the town.
Frame right
Footings below frost line, doubled beams, joist tape, flashed ledger — the skeleton is what your family stands on.
Deck & details
Hidden fasteners on composite, picture-frame borders, railings that don't wobble. Most decks: 1–2 weeks on site.
In Massachusetts, pressure-treated decks typically run $45–$65/sq ft built; composite runs $70–$110/sq ft. A typical 12×16 composite deck with stairs lands around $18,000–$28,000. Free estimate with material options priced side by side.
Questions homeowners
ask us
Composite or wood — what's worth it?
Composite costs ~50% more up front and saves you staining every 2 years for 25 years. Wood feels and looks natural but demands maintenance. We price both so the math is yours.
Do I need a permit for a deck in Massachusetts?
Yes, for anything attached to the house or over 30 inches high. We pull it — an unpermitted deck becomes your problem at resale or insurance claim.
Can you rebuild the deck surface and keep the frame?
If footings and framing pass our inspection, yes — a re-deck saves 30–40% versus full rebuild. If the ledger was never flashed, we'll show you why it can't stay.
